Chandler#81 Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Likely none of you younguns know this guy, but if you were born in the '50's, you weren't cool if you didn't have a coonskin cap. First, he was Davey Crockett, then Dan'l. The wardrobe stayed the same. R.I.P. Fess, and thanks! http://www.cnn.com/2010/SHOWBIZ/03/18/fess...dex.html?hpt=T2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UConn James Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I'm told that my grandmother, who died when I was very young, used to laugh when she heard the name. "Fess" in the French-Canadian patois means "ass." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marv's Neighbor Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I think Davy was much bigger than Daniel. Davy was big about the same time Disneyland opened-mid 50's. In fact, I think the whole theme of FrontierLand was built around Davy. Davy's partner was Georgie Russel, who was played by Buddy Ebsen who later became Jed Clampett on the Beverly Hillbillies. Sh*t, am I old or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorCal Aaron Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I wore out my Davy Crockett album while wearing the faux coon skin hat mom made me (complete with a sewn in newspaper to weigh down the tail). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So very cool, NCA! Mom's were very resourceful back in the day! If we couldn't afford it, she'd create it for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
