Clint Walker Cheyenne

[TrekStar]

I just found out about this earlier today but Clint Walker passed away back on May 21
of congestive heart failure, he was 90 years old and 8 days short of his 91st birthday.

I really enjoyed his Cheyenne tv show and he also made a few movies,
some war and some westerns, he had his own website and many fans,
one of the last of the old school western stars, RIP Clint Walker.

I didn't hear he died either, RIP

LOVED Night of the Grizzly

[Earth 2 Chris]

Wow, sorry to hear this. He was a mountain of a man. Loved his character in The Dirty Dozen...the gentle giant who lost it one time and killed a man with one punch. You could believe it out of Walker!

He was fancast as a 60s Superman in several places, most notably Michael Eury's book, "Krypton Companion". He would have been one impressive Man of Steel.

RIP, and a real shame that this didn't even make a blip on the social radar.

You know, the first thing I saw him in was either The Dirty Dozen or Send Me No Flowers on TCM and I thought, "Dang, he should've played Superman."

RIP sir.

Yup I would agree on Superman. He was really good in The Dirty Dozen, and my wife is a huge Doris Day fan and I mentioned him and reminded her he was in Send Me No Flowers. Send Me No Flowers is a hilarious movie by the way....

^ It really is! Probably my favorite Doris/Rock vehicle. Tony Randall almost steals it and the Paul Lynde bit is great, too.

Fo sure! I also like Lover Come Back, it's also a riot.

Paul Lynde is a genius!

I hadn’t heard. RIP.

And this. Very cool. Maybe he’d have lasted a bit longer had he not been pierced through the heart in a skiing accident.
