Dear SHOLMES:
Clint was one of my first true crushes. What a sweetheart! I never heard the story about Van Johnson and a deputy sherriff in Las Vegas? And a composer? What kind of music did he compose?

He has a really nice website, too, managed by his wife, I seem to recall.
I enjoyed very much visiting there; everything's worded as though you're chatting with Cheyenne Bodie, which I think likely cleaves pretty close to Clint's actual personality.
Don't remember the exact address; google his name, should be easy to find.

Clint Walker
Love Cheyenne, one of those great ol' Western shows from the same era as Maverick, (and both were from Warner Brothers studio).

Walker's musical Style is country nicely laced with a cowboy twang, some of which he wrote himself. Mr. Walker's voice is quite a nice, casual baritone, natch. You can click here to listen to his music on his new cd, and he offers autographed copies of his stuff on his website, buckaroos.

My pleasure, Holmesy!SHolmes wrote:Thank you MissGoddess for those fine photos. Yes, I recognize him in the Cheyenne Bodie outfit. And even as a man, I would have to agree with you about him--he was a hunk. I only wish I looked 1/5 as good as he did.
Thanks again for sharing them. It certainly added to the thread.
CHEYANNE'S place in local culture
To: S.Holmes
From: cmvgor: a memoir
Rural Alabama, 1957. By a unanimous vote, my dad's weekly bible-class-
with-decons'-meeting-afterward was reset from Tuesday nights to Wednesday nights because no one wanted to miss 'Cheyanne'. And, in violation of his own rule about movies on school nights, my dad took me and a couple of friends 6 miles into town to see 'Fort Dobbs'when it was issued in 1958. By the way, when we first started watching 'Cheyanne', the star was billed as CLINTON Walker. It was changed to "Clint" the next
season.

Hubba hubba!
Fox Movie Channel often runs a movie he did the 70s with Peter Graves, about a werewolf, called Scream of the Wolf. He's scary in it, I can tell you.
been a fan of Cheyanne in her early teens. And she remembered
something I did not. She remembered how often the script called for
Walker to take off his shirt -- a bath, getting ready for a fight, to change
after diving into a river, whatever. She was right. I had forgotten those
passages completely.

I've been swimming in the shallow end for quite some time, rarely coming back to Silver Screen. Getting the messages about changes, I updated my sign-on status and then went browsing through the material. Stopping to read through this one, I realized that something has been omitted. For some reason, we never bothered to mention that Mr. Walker was the
highest geographic point in The Dirty Dozen. Consider that now corrected.
