Clint Walker: A Good Guy (Jerry Skinner Documentary)

[@karenhope6986]

He said he was proud to be a Christian and that we were in a spiritual war and needed to stand up for God and good against evil! AMEN

[@douglasrock9414]

Clint Walker had the exact same effect on me that others here are conveying. He just blew you away… the size and looks and voice and demeanor. Everything there in one package to make a boy have a hero and a girl have a heart throb. Clint could have made it anywhere, anytime. He had it all. Miss him.

[@kathykit7629]

Clint was a good guy for sure. I saw him in the Phoenix Jaycee Rodeo parade when I was a kid. I ran out to the street when I saw my favorite cowboy. He stopped, turning his horse around and posing until I ran out of film in my camera. What a class act he was.

[@shashimenon7264]

Clint is my favorite actor. He was a gentleman and a good actor. I am 74 years old and regularly watch his show Cheyenne. He had a miraculous recovery after his near death experience. Likewise at 66 I had open heart surgery and it was followed by a 2 month coma. I did have a miraculous recovery almost 10 years ago

I have a lot of memories of Clint Walker even though I never had the honor to meet him. I was his second cousin, my dad, Durrell Walker being his first cousin. I can remember as a child hearing the phone ring, back when all phone calls were long distance and no one called just to chat. The news: Clint was on TV tonight! All plans changed or stood still. We were glued to the TV to watch our cousin. He did not disappoint. I absolutely loved his deep voice. He brought so much joy to our family and all of us Walkers (a very large family). Cousin - May you Rest In Peace and know how much you meant to all of us. You were always Our Good Guy! Love and memories, Vivian Walker Cushman

I watched Cheyenne as a young boy. I was so impressed with his size. My mom would always tell me how respectful he was, especially with the ladies. For me to be the same way also. I started lifting weights when I was 15. Hoping I could be like Clint. My father was 5’7” and my mom 5’5”. I made it to 6’ somehow. At 70 now, after all these decades of working out. I am still at the gym 5 days a week lifting weights. Twice I met Clint at the Festival of the West in Scottsdale, AZ. It was an emotional experience for me. I was saddened to hear Clint tell me he was losing his eyesight from Macular Degeneration. He signed 2 photographs for me. Thank you Clint, always so much, much more than an actor…

[@GAILandROD]

Thanks for sharing that! we had to buy the DVD's to watch...and glad we did....we watch the entire series at least once a year...great writing....great stories.

You won’t believe this Jerry, but 70 to 75 years ago, the kids in my neighborhood started to lift weights so we could build our bodies to look like Clint. He was a specimen of a man. We never achieved what he looked like, but we sure did love Clint. Thanks so much for this documentary, brought back a lot memories. Stay safe Jerry,.......Augie and Jill Blase🤠

[@Bill-py1fn]

Wonderful piece. Thank you very much. I'm 65 and I used to watch Cheyenne with my dad when I was small. My dad was over 6'5" with hair and other features similar to Mr. Walker. As a wee lad I thought they looked so much alike. Rest in peace Cheyenne.

[@ferdonandebull]

Okay here is another tribute... I was getting ready to retire after thirty three years of police work. I had been a big fan of Cheyenne as a kid but had forgotten. So I found Cheyenne and started watching. I realized that a lot of the things Cheyenne had said I had said to suspects, victims and other police officers over the years. Then I realized just what this show had meant to me and how I had internalized the values that were being taught. I had never written a letter to a celebrity but when I found out he was still alive I sent him a letter. I got one back in which he touched on things I had said to him. My wife thought that he just had a secretary read and answer letters. I recognized “Cheyenne” from my childhood. I was lucky that Cheyenne and Clint Walker was involved in my moral compass ..

[@WisconsinWanderer]

I sure did like his demeanor in his acting style I believe he was a good man. Thanks Jerry

After my father-in-law passed away, I used to visit my mother-in-law every Monday and Wednesday, and a few more times over the month. We are both fans of old movies, and we'd talk about our favorite actors...Muni, Stanwyck, Howard and the like. My mother-in-law would light up when we talked about Clint Walker. My father-in-law was like Mr. Walker. Tall and good looking. My mother-in-law passed away a few years ago, but the five years I went over there are memories I cherish, and Clint Walker is a part of those fond recollections. That's what you give to your subscribers Mr. Skinner... fond memories. Thank you.

I went to Mr Walkers web site a few years ago and asked him a question about some of his co -stars. Within 2 hours he replied to me and answered my question. It is one of my favorite replies ever. I saved it and will always cherish it. Definitely one of the best Cowboys ever.

You didn't happen to ask him about Lee Marvin did you and if so would you mind telling me what he said? Big Clint Walker and Lee Marvin fan since I was a little kid

[@mesaeddie]

@@jameshuseby6290 No I asked him about two of my favorite Character Actors; Robert Wilke and Peter Whitney with who he worked a lot with. I asked him if they were as good as guys as I hoped and thought they were.. He said they were both great actors and great guys to work with. Wilke and Whitney were both in every TV Western made back then. Wilke was the guy in The Magnificent Seven that brought a gun to a knife fight and lost and Whitney played Lafe Crick on the Beverly Hillbillies.Like Clint told me they were both great actors.I like Lee Marvin too he was one of the best.

[@BeachsideHank]

@@mesaeddie Robert Wilke, Harry Lauter, Myron Healy; my favorite "bad guys" whom fellow actors held in very high regard. I had heard tell once that Harry took over a horse dragging scene from an inexperienced young stunt man because he felt the guy might get hurt, now that's character right there, no wonder these guys were revered.

[@mesaeddie]

BeachsideHank I totally agree I used to get Harry and Myron mixed up at times.Another great character actor was John Anderson it seemed like he was in almost half of the Rifleman episodes . If he wasn’t Peter Whitney seemed to be . I grew up watching all of the Westerns and still catch all the ones I can.

Teddy Roosevelt, Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Clint Walker, and others. I built myself up to about Clint’s size but not quite so tall sorry.

I was raised in a town that had a NASCAR speedway. Clint Walker was the celebrity guest at one of the city's Race Day Parades. I was a kid on a bicycle and he was sitting in a convertible Cadillac by himself in the marshaling area. He talked to me and was very nice. He looked like a giant. I met Alan Hale at almost the same spot a year later.

In 1957 we lived, for a month or so, in the Perry Lodge in Kanab, Utah. Clint Walker was staying in the room next to ours while they were filming the movie Fort Dobbs.

[@tablature6121]

I remember him being on Art Linkletter's show shortly after the skiing accident. I remember him saying that one of the things that saved him was his being so barrel chested -- so much muscle tissue to go through, the 4 inch ski point only pierced his heart slightly. Had it happened to a more average sized man, it would have killed them for sure.

[@ThinkSimply]

thats crazy

[@grannygrunt5211]

I watched Clint Walker tell the story himself about getting pierced with that ski thing whatever it was and he said it did pierce his heart and he died and was laying on the table in the hallway when a doctor walked by and said I think he's still alive Clint said his self that he was dead ....he recounted the whole lncident.
