Norman Eugene "Clint" Walker


Norman Eugene "Clint" Walker (May 30, 1927 – May 21, 2018)

He played cowboy Cheyenne Bodie in the western series Cheyenne from 1955-63. He joined the United States Merchant Marine at the age of 17. He received his big break when cast in The Ten Commandments (1956). Walker's good looks and imposing physique helped him land the lead role in the TV series Cheyenne. Walker had his biggest hit to date when he was cast in The Dirty Dozen (1967). Frank Sinatra cast him in the leading role in the war drama None but the Brave (1965), the only film Sinatra directed. In May 1971 he was seriously injured in a skiing accident on Mammoth Mountain when one of his ski poles went through his chest but he recovered. Walker was one of many names in The Phynx (1970) and returned to TV with the leads in some TV movies, Yuma (1971), Hardcase (1972), and The Bounty Man (1972). Walker has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 1505 Vine Street, near its intersection with Sunset Boulevard. He was married three times, and had one child. Walker died on May 21, 2018 at age 90 from heart failure.
