Walter Brennan Was The Most Evil Man in Hollywood

Walter Brennan Was The Most Evil Man in Hollywood
More than 50 years after his death, the nearly forgotten memories of Walter Brennan are relived in the minds of all who hear of him, although not for palatable reasons. Known for being the first actor to win the Best Supporting Actor Award three times, Walter’s versatility in his movies and his resilience to push forward have been his notable traits, however, his controversial views are what he’s infamous for today. How did a beloved actor come to be known as the most evil man in Hollywood? Let’s find out!

[@roypittasr]

No, he was not evil except by today’s cancel culture standards. He was a man who stood by his principles, right or wrong. At least he wasn’t a phony, as so many in Hollywood are and have been.

[@robertinejones7278]

My my, if Brennan was evil--just think how many "evil" people there are in this world. Sure would like to see his old movies in TV because he was a great actor.

[@catholicstance9661]

I am anti-Comunist too.

[@Blustone60]

I'm old enough to remember him in many of the westerns my dad watched. I really liked him. He was a solid character I thought. He made the entire story come together and feel real. Rest in peace Walter. ⚘️🕊

[@markevans6480]

First one here. He was a great actor and loved all his movies with John Wayne.

[@suevann3757]

Walter Brenan he's one of the greatest actor. Love him in Rio Bravo

[@josephkingston9252]

He was a very good actor, no matter what people say .

[@irishauntie3941]

Always loved Walter Brennan. He was a very engaging actor on screen. May he rest in peace. RIP. 🙏

[@roberthubbard5008]

Sounds like he was a normal person with his own beliefs just like anyone else. Damn good actor and a smart man

[@bobjuniel8683]

Walter Brennan was a hard working man, a good husband and father. A great actor and successful businessman.

[@deborahhutchinson5135]

A great actor, No Brag Just Fact.

[@trudyharris6014]

He was not an evil man sounded like a good man just had his thoughts. He didn’t hurt anybody freedom of speech.

[@kimboss8721]

I loved the Real Mcoys! I waspretty young at that time.Wish they'd show them again on T.V

[@waynewilliams8554]

He was a great actor and not afraid to express his personal beliefs!!

[@avian7999]

Will always remember him as "Grand Pa" in "The Real McCoy's "

[@dalemartin1015]

The way america is going today, he was spot on.

[@scotty]

slander and smear anyone who speaks the truth about them and exposes them.

[@user-rt9uc2yt2x]

Interesting the community he lived in had respect for him so exactly where are you coming up with these so called stories and many with the studios didn’t have so called stories…

[@Ukie88]

Given what Putin and Xi are up to, Walter may have had some insight after all.

[@juanjuan799]

Walter Brennan, was a great Actor, and i always enjoy his Movies, especially with my Favorite actor, John Wayne. My respects, to Walter Brennan.

[@CarolAnne-wl6zu]

I liked Walter Brennan

[@jamescosgrave626]

Great actor, his views today would not go down with the public, I will not stand in judgement of Walter Brennan..

[@thisbushnell2012]

A product of his time. Born in mid-1894, his views perfectly reflected the vast majority of Americans, North, South, East, and West, through the next century and at least the first quarter of this one. My own Southern born and raised grandmother held similar beliefs, though not as virulent nor outspoken. Yet, her children and grandchildren saw the lie for what it is.

[@francismoon2735]

Love Walter he was a great man thangs where a lot different back then never heard of him being a racist I’ve heard he thought the Kennedys were not good for our country that’s all don’t like talking about a man that can’t defend himself may him and wife rest in peace true love ❤️

[@Nancy-px7hn]

I just remember seeing him in "The Real McCoys" on TV when I was a kid. He was memorable in that series. He was great in the film about Judge Roy Bean called "The Westerner". It was a brilliant performance in my opinion.

[@janewalls58]

He was one of the best actors back in those days.

[@Astyanaz]

At that time, a great many people blamed communism for the protests.

[@SherryCapps-rd5dz]

Yes there are a lot more in Hollywood who are worse than he was I believe .

[@jennyharris3638]

I AM ANTI COMMUNIST ALSO,I WOULD HAVE LIKED WALTER AND UNDERSTOOD HIS VIEWS.

[@lizamay3703]

Well I would not call him EVIL just because of his personal feelings towards skin color or political /social views. On some I agree with him. He was just honest and free to be open for what he wanted. Should not real freedom let every human to be this way??? Do I have to like what you like??? Definitely not.

[@tracytempleton8618]

I remember watching westerns with my dad that had him in them. I liked his laugh. The real McCoys was good!

[@robertmeshew1935]

I took an acting class in high school. I modeled my acting using him as my model, won a most improved actor award! Do not know if I was really good, or was really bad, but I will take any credit as long as it emulates great talent!

[@bessviola3545]

😮 wasn't he write in part anyway look at the US now??😢.

[@GodsOnlyGospel]

Walter also appeared in 2 Three Stooges shorts, first in Woman Haters sleeping on the train and 2nd in the Restless Knights where he played the Three Stooges father,

[@billjackson1317]

He played a back stabber in How the West was won a great movie 👍

[@siouxfan1716]

It would have been Dr. Martin Luther King that he hated not Martin Luther!!

[@DelbertzOsborne]

I don't know about Walter Brinen being the most evil man in Hollywood. You didn't mention him in the movie Support Your Local Sheriff. Which I believe he should have gotten another Oscar. I thought he was a strong in that movie as any of the other actors. That my opinion anyways.

[@jackaustin3576]

I always liked him in his movies....No one is perfect....Removing prayer and the pledge of alligence from our schools was a terrible idea as you can now see the results of it....I don't consider him evil just opinionated....

[@delwynhallett565]

A good old fashioned country man, with morals.

[@jeffreytrickey861]

He was tame and loved compared to some of these foolish actors of today. I wont mention names just pray for them. They arè obvious.

[@jeanettecoleman-mz7ie]

I can still hear his voice in those movies.

[@valarieknight7990]

Sadly, 50 years later, we discover he was right.

[@markniilo]

It's amazing how much he looks like Red Skelton.

[@user-xt2cs3bo5k]

Compared to the evil in Hollywood today Brennan would be considered a choir boy!

[@markpridgen809]

One day I'm gonna climb that mountain !!

[@samspade03]

He was great in Rio Bravo 😊

[@jchis9852]

I remember him doing song called "Old Shep".

[@kittyhawk7060]

Brennan was a man of his time. A racist today may have been a red-blooded American of the past. You can trust a man who speaks his mind. It's those who hide their thoughts you have to be cautious with. You never know when they will turn on you. Brennan was a great actor. Loved his work. When I was a teenager, I loved him on The Real McCoys.

[@MrGarywHolt]

I like Walter Brenan.

[@ericswain4177]

Most Evil Man in Hollywood not by a long shot ! miss guided maybe, at least he was not Acquiescence about his views like most people today though he seemed to have a lack of accord for others at the wrong time, there is a time and place for it.

[@user-xc6wd3hb4s]

Walter Brennan stood up against the filth and perversion we see today in movies and TV.

[@user-or6sc7cg2h]

In an insightful twist, it would seem that through his harsh stance on certain issues, which today would be politically incorrect, the resulting direction of our society is proving that maybe his perspective on the results of the directions that Walter Brennan envisioned have actually become reality in the world we inhabit today. While diplomacy was obviously not his strong suit, what he personally believed was what he stood for, and like it or not, his insight into the future that is today could be considered somewhat accurate. Whatever we think of his personal stands on issues, he had an amazing career, worked through tough times and circumstances, and has become, in that arena, a memorable actor.

[@randyspencer5937]

He’s not forgotten

[@nealbennett4950]

I watched the movie Kentucky and he was fantastic in it . He was a great actor and a great person who deserved everything .

[@firebearva]

Clint Eastwood isn't far behind old Walter.

[@deborahbarry8250]

As a young girl I fell in love with Grandpa McCoy ❤❤❤

[@paulaw.5884]

I thought most evil was OJ and Scott Peterson😢

[@stevekern7235]

He was a prick, but he was a genuine prick! At least he didn`t perv on kids like Hollywood does now.

[@driftlesshunter9200]

The most evil men in Hollywood are still living there sadly.

[@gerrieetter9442]

I wish I could hear hear what he would say about all the evil that has control of the entertainment industry today.

[@andrewcarlson9695]

Fear nullifies so many good things.

[@harrychristian4291]

If he was evil I'll take it over most hollywood actors these days.

[@keithr-xj7zx]

I think he was right about taking prayer and love of country out of our schools. Look how decedent and anti America younger people have become.

[@AnnErwin-vm7ds]

Different times reflect different views...just the way life is. The Good Lord always judges correctly because He knows our hearts.

[@larphred]

A man ahead of his time.

[@richardanderson9957]

An interesting character.

[@cherylpeterson2289]

He wasn't any different than a lot of people during the cold War, building bunkers. He is no way the most evil man in Hollywood. There were and are more evil men than him.

[@user-cy3ge3hh6f]

BUT I AM NOT SHOCKED A LOT OF STARS GONE BY WERE BIGOTS CIVILS RIGHTS CHANGED OF PAPERS BUT NOT MENS HEARTSVWHERE IT COUNTS

[@randallrobertson4202]

Walter Brennan wasn't evel ,He was raised a certain way as was many Americans..

[@richiemclaughlin6127]

he told the truth he said what he feels we all should be like him..

[@frankdardano3182]

A HARD START IN LIFE,MAKES EXTEME PEOPLE.THEY ARE REALLY GREAT OR EVIL GUYS..IM JUST SAYIN,WHO KNOWS?

[@sharonpierce6278]

Great actor

[@TheRealFamespear]

He wasn’t wrong though. 🤷‍♂️

[@craigezell4261]

Sorry,can't excuse his racism but he is in GOD'S judgement as we all will be someday.

[@Mr_T.]

I wouldn't call him the most evil man in Hollywood, perhaps the father of rightwing celebrity.

[@jerrygallo8314]

oh God, this world is sick.

[@Bub-ig4oc]

The way I always heard it years ago before the Internet was that he lost his teeth in a car accident after making and losing a fortune in the stock market. I don't know about that fight with the stunt man tale. Doesn't sound legit to me.

[@birchandmorley]

he was certainly correct - that the removal of prayer from schools would be the down fall of America

[@leroymistretta2367]

He was years ahead of his time. Because, that's exactly what we see on the world 🌍 stage today.

[@dpouncer]

He was right that removing prayer from school led to a downfall of morals and understanding of what is right and wrong

[@timmotel5804]

Good Day. I was 5 years old when "The Real McCoy's" first aired on TV. I don't remember at what age I started watching the show, but it was a favourite of mine that I fondly remember to this day. Luke, Hassie, Little Luke, Sugar Babe and Papino. There are still some black and white episodes out there that are just barely watchable. Thanks for posting this wonderful and sometimes sad history of a great actor, that was a part of my young life and memories. Best Regards.

[@josephtabar492]

😂I remeber Walter....

[@whathahk]

Well sounds like he knew the results of today...

[@margaretwrein9606]

He paid a price for sure.

[@coporal4]

What do you expect? He was born in 1894. He had a 19th early 20th century mentality. Those men were racist and sexist. Let him rest in peace. Plus he was a World War 1 vet that was exposed to mustard gas and the horrors of trench warfare.

[@rosewood5017]

If he could look back, he would say he was right. He was on the mark. Look at where we are now. He wasn't evil. His ideas were forth coming. Wise man.

[@mrratny]

I think Walter came out of the womb looking like he was 60 years old. He also played some bit parts with the Three Stooges in Restless Knights, Woman Haters, and Fugitive Lovers.

[@Brough1111]

Evil don't think so just a contrary old Irishman the world is full of people just like him.

[@namwob77]

Great man who stood up for what he believed.

[@user-mz4mi2mw7z]

Walter Brennan was a wonderful person.

[@Mwbjfm12]

He was right looking at today. Smart man in a lot of ways

[@williamhewett1098]

Walter brennan was one of the most brilliant people of that time. This speaks to the disgusting atmosphere that surrounds hollywood.

[@Linda-wd5vz]

He had his opinion but he ahould have realized he was being scrutinized.he was in the public.

[@connorthompson1848]

Did Brennan also play Red Skelton...

[@MikeAbernathy-fi5hi]

I think one of the greatest actors who ever lived

[@tedtimothy9074]

Mr. Brennan was one of the earliest supporters of "Ronald Reagan for Governor". That's good enough for me.

[@stevenhuckaby2902]

I love Walter B. Great actor, kind and honest

[@joymayo8704]

Walter was right about what he knew

[@daveycody]

His good outweighed the bad by a long shot

[@NoelBOwens-fd4xz]

He sounds like many people!
