Everyone has Myrna's interests at heart
8 February 2018
Beautiful widow Myrna Fahey who lost her husband in an accident on the trail has no shortage of people looking to help her among the men and the women of Chris Hale's Wagon Train. This particular Wagon Train story had the accent firmly on comedy.

Leading the pack of suitors is widower Jim Davis who has a trio of rowdy boys to raise. He does it rather effortlessly as the rest really stumble over their stupid selves. That actually includes Wagon Train regular Denny Miller who has assigned himself her special protector. The others are gambler Tony Young, school teacher John Craig, and mama's boy Roger Torrey.

Torrey's mama is Marjorie Bennett who with her friend Amzie Strickland are Fahey's self appointed advisors among her own sex.

Myrna Fahey was one of the most beautiful women ever on the big screen and small and had she come along during the era of the big studio system she would have been a major star. She died sadly too young at the age of 40. She seems oblivious to all but Davis. In fact while the other four are making fools of themselves they don't even notice Jim Davis is winning the race by a mile.

You have to ask would all this attention have been paid to say Phyllis Diller?
