"Cheyenne" star Clint Walker, RIP

'Cheyenne' Star Clint Walker Dead at 90

 

Loved watching Yellowstone Kelly as a kid

 

90 is a good run. R.I.P. Mr. Walker!

 

You can get it on Warner Bros. Archive Collection DVD-R.

 

He also recorded an Inspirational album called "Inspiration" on Warner Bros. which has been issued on CD by Collector's Choice Music and later by Real Gone Music (the CD is OOP, but Amazon has the MP3s available for download). Clint Walker was a great actor as well.

 

After Chuck Conners Rifleman, Clint Walter's Cheyenne was my favorite. RIP.

 

Check out how prolific he was as an actor: Clint Walker - IMDb

 

O'...he was my favorite Cowboy/Western star since I was a kid...Night Of the Grizzly and Cheyenne were my favorites...long life Rest In Peace. : (

 

thanks Bradley...I didn't know of this.

 

Yeah, he was one of the many cowboy stars we of a certain age group grew up with and enjoyed.

He was a big guy so he was convincing if he had to go into a "Don't mess with me mode ."

RIP Clint.

 

I remember him well - although all my memories of him are in black and white.

RIP, Big Fella.

 

Posey on The Dirty Dozen. He could sneeze and grow a beard!

 

Is Will Hutchins the last of the Warners cowboys?



Will Hutchins on Clint Walker "Cheyenne"

his abs have abs. Worked out with him once. He had put together a make-shift gym in the backlot in a dusty shed, brought his own weights. He took off his shirt—Cinemascope shoulders—he looked like a hairy wall. I kept my shirt on—never went back.

Boy, Clint was immense. Felt sorry for his horse. Felt sorrier for his leading ladies. There they’d be in the ranch house, puttering about. A knock at the door, enter Clint, camera tilts up. For the rest of the scene all you can see of the leading lady is her head, bobbing about at the bottom of the screen like a buoy in a storm.

Ol’ Clint made me feel right at home when I started “Sugarfoot”. Invited me out to his house and sold me his Vespa motor scooter. L.A. drivers are not unlike Kamikaze pilots, so I confined my scootering to riding out to the Warner backlot from the make-up department in the morning. Didn’t want Vespa services held in my memory, you know. Hard to start in the early cold. Had to push it most of the way before it revved up properly. Good exercise. Hmmm, yep, there was a smattering of the horse trader in Clint… There was a lot of the hero in him.​

---

he once took one of Hollywood’s most famous hikes out of Warner Bros.—during a dispute he repaired to California’s mother lode and prospected for gold in a river. Gold is where you find it, and he couldn’t find it at Warners. (Clayton Moore was lucky—he found silver—‘neath his saddle.) Money wasn’t all of it. Clint objected to the way the suits rewarded him for his success by cutting down on the budget of his show. Same thing happened to me. After the first five shows or so we started shooting down in the low rent district of the western street, and the scripts got pretty atrocious—but I was more than equal to the challenge—my acting was every bit as atrocious.

Later, Clint returned to the fold, and he, Ty Hardin and I made one of my favorite shows, “Duel At Judas Basin”, sort of like the Three Mesquiteers. I thought we had a good blendship. We three could do one of those TV reunion shows: “Cheyenne, Bronco and Sugarfoot Get Hip Replacements”.

Eventually, cabin fever hit all of us bargain basement buckaroos, and we went stir crazy out in that cramped back lot. We got on our horses and rode off in all directions. I see Clint Walker from time to time and think of him more often that that. Lonely man, Cheyenne, where will you be camping tonight?​

 

Even their most devoted fans may not realize Clint Walker and Margot Kidder worked together:



From The Bounty Man (1972), one of several (unsold) western pilots Walker made at this time.

 

RIP.
Scream Of The Wolf - tv movie. Gave me chills when I first saw it in prime time.

 

STOP PUSHINGGGGG!!!!!!!!!

 

I remember he was in - briefly - White Buffalo, with Charles Bronson. A strange film that should have been a lot better.

 

RIP

He had hair on the bottom of his feet!

 

Tough guy-

Apparently he nearly died (was pronounced dead) back in 71. He fell from a ski lift and fell on a ski poll that pierced his heart. The doc pronounced him dead. Another doc felt a faint pulse and repaired his heart.

Clint was back to work soon after.

You know what you find underneath Chuck Norris' beard?

CLINT F'ing WALKER!!! thats who!
