THE VIRGINIAN -- Jennifer ( guest star James MacArthur )

Not long after Betsy Garth got married and left
Shiloh for good, this important episode introduced
Jennifer Sommers, played by a lovely but long forgotten
actress named Diane Roter. Diane was seen in the
4th Season credits for several episodes until making
her first appearance in this story.

Jennifer was Judge Garth's niece, who travels west to
Wyoming to live with him after the death of her mother
(the judge's sister).

James MacArthur is the only noteable guest star,
although stuntman and occasional character actor
Hal Needman is also in this episode. Hal continued
to do and coordinate stunts for many years, and he
also directed the first 2 Smokey and the Bandit films,
Cannonball Run, and other Burt Reynolds movies
in the 1970s and 80s.
