Gail Davis Became a Role Model for Women
When Gail Davis appeared on The Cisco Kid, she probably had no idea that she would end up as the star of her own show, Annie Oakley.
She was inducted, posthumously, into the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame for her services and she had said, “Back then I knew the show was having a positive impact, especially on little girls. It wasn’t until years later that I realized just how much. Little girls had turned into influential women, thanking my portrayal of Annie for showing them the way.” She is buried a the Forest Lawn – Hollywood Hills Cemetery after she passed away of cancer at the age of 71.
