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.

CHEYENNE!
Oh damn!
So few of our H&I icons are alive (i.e. those who didn’t smoke) - I thought it was great that :touches sky” was still with us.
RIP Cheyenne and may the Great Spirit find and lead you into God’s heaven.

Was in a war movie with Frank Sinatra. Saw it in the 60s. Forgot the name.

In his prime he had an almost unworldly physique. Would have made a great Superman. Truly one in a million.

Thanks, Clint, for making my childhood as great as it was during the heyday of TV westerns. Yours was one of the best.
RIP......
