Patricia Blair Karen Sharpe

Kathleen Crowley

Patricia Blair had a thing for long guns.
She was Lucas McCain's love interest in the 5th season of The Rifleman,
and then became the wife of Kentucky rifler Daniel Boone
in the Walt Disney series.

Karen Sharpe received short shrift in Johnny Ringo,
serving as the love interest of a man with a mere handgun
and who lasted for only one season.
Before that, Sharpe made about seven stage stops in other tv westerns,
and about the same number afterwards.
She appeared twice in Gunsmoke, playing Rena Decker in "Sweet and Sour"
and Yuma Linz in "Dry Well."

Kathleen Crowley's westerns resumé was the longest and most varied.
She appeared in almost forty episodes of at least twenty different cowboy shows,
and in several theatrical movie westerns.
