I think Dailey and her husband lived in the house along Lake Taneycomo (Along Lakeshore Drive) until he passed away a year or two ago. I am not sure if she still lives in the area...seems like I heard she moved away. They did live in Branson from the early '80s onward. Her husband was involved in the theater business and they owned the land along Highway 76 that the Dairy Queen and Raddison Hotel, and the Andy Williams Theater are on at one point. When they bought the property I remember stories that they were going to build a theme park called Wildwood. It never came to pass. Her husband was known to have a temper, and I believe was involved occassionally in disputes with others in public, I think even one involving a gun. However those who lived in Branson from '85 through '10 could better chime in here about the Daileys. I know he shot "The Stan Hitchcock Show" which aired in syndication nationally in '79-'81 at the old Courthouse Theater at SDC. Stan Hitchcock had his regular live show at the Old Sawmill Opry, which is now a church across the street from the Branson Inn Hotel at Notch. Stan Hitchcock split for Nashville in a big hurry in '81 when he helped promote a Barbara Mandrell concert in Mutton Hollow (where Celebration City stands) and the show was way oversold and somebody skipped town with the money...stiffing Mandrell and company. A few years later, Hitchcock and others had founded CMT, the "Country Music Television" cable TV channel, and a few years after that, it sold to CBS or some other big outfit for a bootful of money. Branson does have a dark side, usually small people with big outlandish dreams funded by other peoples money.
