"What's
my favorite episode that Lou was in?" It's a toss up
between two episodes for me. 'I Take This Woman'
and 'Requiem at Mission Springs.' In 'I Take
This Woman,' she was willing to sacrifice herself
to protect others from her so called future husband.
Can't you just see those two together [Lou & Dennis
O'Flarrety]? I like 'Requiem at Missions Springs'
because there is some good tender moments in this episode.
From Lucas and Mark, to Lucas and Lou.
After her one season as Lucas' gal pal on "The
Rifleman", Patricia moved on to the highly successful
"Daniel Boone" series, and portrayed Fess Parker's
"missus" for six seasons from 1964 through 1970. In an
interview with David Fury, she said that she had the good
fortune of working with two of the tallest and handsomest
men in Hollywood [Connors and Parker]. She starred
with Ed Ames in an episode of "The Rifleman" ~
'Quiet Night, Deadly Night,' and later with him in
Daniel Boone.
