RIP Jenny Atkins

 

I’ve received word from Jenny Atkins’ granddaughter that Jenny passed away sometime in late May. She was 83. Jenny was supposedly born Jenny P. Riva in England 1943. Jenny moved to the United States and met actor Ty Hardin. They appeared together in an episode of TV’s ‘Riptide’ which Ty was starring in. They became a couple and appeared together in the Spaghetti western “You’re Jinxed Friend, You’ve Met Sacramento” in 1970 where Jenny played Ty’s daughter Maggie Thompson. They married after the film and appeared together again in the following year in “Drummer of Vengeance” where Jenny played a circus girl. Jenny and Ty divorced in 1974 and Jenny married Dr. Steven Zax a surgeon [1938-2017] in 1978 and they divorced in 1982. She then married George R. Brachmanski. The couple lived in Queensland, Australia.
