Parallels















Here is a parallel in B-movie careers more than an exact resemblance. Willard Parker (Worster Van Eps 1912-1996), right, signed with Warner Bros and Columbia, while John Archer (Ralph Bowman 1915-1999) signed with Universal and Republic. Archer had numerous television guest spots making him, arguably, the more familiar though Parker's three-year, single series, Tales of The Texas Rangers was popular. 

Both started their careers in the late 1930s and both died at age 84, three years apart. Alas, I would like to tell you they married the same woman (not at the same time) but that would prevent you from believing any of this.
