My Take
Fess Parker was a giant in every sense, a 197 cm Texan who became the face of the American frontier through Disney's Davy Crockett and television's Daniel Boone. What I admire is the scale of his screen presence; he didn't just play pioneers, he embodied a whole national mythology with an easy, towering calm. Being named a Disney Legend in 1991 was fitting. Equally impressive is his second act as a successful winemaker, proving the man had range beyond the screen. He lived large and built things to last, and that earns my respect.
