Clint Walker, a former merchant seaman and real-life deputy sheriff who roamed the West as a towering, solitary figure on Cheyenne, the first hourlong western on television, died on Monday in Grass Valley, Calif. He was 90.
His death, at a hospital, was confirmed by his daughter, Valerie Walker, who said the cause was congestive heart failure. Mr. Walker lived in Grass Valley, about 60 miles northeast of Sacramento.
Mr. Walker also appeared in the The Dirty Dozen and other movies, but he was best known for Cheyenne, seen on ABC from 1955 to 1963.

RIP. Liked him in the Dirty Dozen, Night of the Grizzly. He had a small part in The Ten Commandments too.

I watched “The Dirty Dozen” on Sundance channel last night.
RIP
Will Hutchins from Sugarfoot is still alive. Ty Hardin passed not to long ago. I liked Bronco Lane the best out of that trio of westerns that ABC had. Pretty sad to see Clint leave us though.
Cheyenne and Bronco are gone; but Sugarfoot at 88 is still with us.
nice to see a man with hair on his chest.
These waxed jobs that have been popular just don’t make the grade.

I heard him on WBZ last year, interviewed by Morgan White, Jr.
Great sense of humor.
I would think every woman would like that physique. He was an eyeful.
My mom always liked a hairy chest. Tom Jones, Neil Diamond .....man's man!
You must really like it. You posted twice.
______________
I think I stuttered LOL
Those old Westerns are wonderful. RIP, Mr Walker.
We also lost Joseph Campanella (he was 93) in the past week, too... I didn't see his obit posted on FR.
Good bye sir, you were a inspiration.
Another good role for him would have been as “Mr Clark” in the movie Clear and Present Danger instead of William Dafoe.
30 years ago.
He was a friend of my dads through 1960s YMCA functions and hunting in Texas
My dad was about Clints size...a very imposing pair
Clint was a very soft spoken man and when you spoke to him he listened like you meant something
Thats a gift
God. Bless him
One big dude, with a chin that could take anything dished out.
Thanks for the hours of entertainment, Mr. Walker. You were a stand up dude when the USA believed in stand up dudes. We were all on the same side.
R.I.P.
Clint Walker is gone.
But Cheyenne Bodie will ride forever.
