Without a Song. In 1960 he married Swedish Film Star May Britt. It was a classic union of opposites. Davis is short (5 ft. 5 in.), nervous, the color of bittersweet chocolate; leggy, lissome May Britt could be no blonder, remains serene no matter how large the crisis. Somehow the marriage worked. The Davises had one child, adopted a second, then a third. He pulled away from the Clan, hasn't appeared with them since the filming of Robin and the 7 Hoods in 1964.

Japan uses classic Kabuki actors to speak for Bonanza's Cartwrights, although their services often cost as much as the purchase price of the tape. Subtitles come much cheaper, but audiences in the richer nations like Germany won't abide them, viewers in the poorer ones can't read them. Not that a lot does not get lost in the translations. In the original version of a Zane Grey Theater episode, the villain burst into a saloon, hammered his fist...
