CLINT WALKER – HEART FAILURE

Clint Walker was one of the iconic actors during the rise of the western-themed productions back in the ’50s until the early ’70s. He was born in Hartford, Illinois to Gladys Hulda and Paul Arnold Walker. During his teenage years, Clint worked at a factory before enlisting in the army during the Second World War. After the war ended, however, Clint continued to work a variety of different jobs until he got discovered by Henry Wilson. Clint was also soon given a chance to join the Bowery Boys in the film Jungle Gents.

His most memorable role was his portrayal of Cheyenne Bodie in Cheyenne that aired from the mid-’50s until the early ’60s. He enjoyed quite a stable career, though his appearances declined as he got older. The actor passed away on May 21, 2018 just a few days before his 91st birthday. The reported cause of death was congestive heart failure.
