Annie Oakley Tidbits

The story took place in Diablo and Oakley (Gail Davis) was a gun-toting, hard ridin' rancher. And she was a woman! For a female to have a lead in any series, let alone a Western was rare.

The show was aimed at children and it worked. Many women who now are called "Grandma" recall Annie Oakley as a model for what women can do.

Gail Davis was a crack shot and skilled rider and so did most of her own stunts.

Passings

Brad Johnson died in 1981 and Gail Davis in died 1997 of cancer.
