Fans in Russia
The Rifleman was among the first American shows to be aired in Russia. The Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev visited the US in the ‘70s and wanted to meet Chuck Connors! It was one of his favorite shows, apparently. Fortunately, he ended up meeting the actor. The two even became good friends!
Hope Summers
Hope Summers brought Hattie Denton to life. She was the owner of the general store in North Fork. The actress appeared in a number of hit shows and films over the years. Sadly, she did not get a breakthrough role on the big screen and focused on the small screen instead.
