"THE RIFLEMAN" - VALENTINES' DAY

'THE RIFLEMAN'"Miss Bertie"

A lively old lady arrives in North Fork to capture a notorious criminal and collect the reward which she desperately needs.
From "The Rifleman Episode Guide List"

Alberta Hoakam of Philadelphia was probably not the only member of her family to travel out West.....

Miss Bertie may have been the maiden aunt of Emma Valentine, the villainess matchmaker seen in "The Night Of The Vicious Valentine", an episode of 'The Wild, Wild West'.

(As you can see from the pictures, Agnes Moorehead played both roles.)

About ten years separate the characters, with Miss Valentine appearing first on the Toobworld timeline.

The last name of "Valentine" may have been an alias (Emma Hoakam not having the required ring to it that her matchmaking enterprise needed.) Or it could be that Emma had once been married to a man named Valentine back East. If so, she could be the grand-mother of a New York criminal named Rocky Valentine, who found "A Nice Place To Visit" in 'The Twilight Zone'.....

O'Bviously neither woman could be related to Agnes Moorehead's character in her T-Zone episode, "The Invaders"......
