Clint Walker

He was a mountain of a guy and a western legend thanks mainly to playing TV's favorite wandering adventurer, Cheyenne. He parlayed that role into movie westerns playing heroes as taciturn and emotionless as western folk are thought to have been. But those same traits kept him rather pigeon-holed as an actor and his overall opportunities in Hollywood were rather limited.

Thinking of his acting made me reflect of the piece we just did on Fred MacMurray whose acting way is similar to Walker's. Why did I usually find MacMurray uninteresting while I paint Walker as a more fascinating creature? Well now, I wonder.

Still I had no concept what a powerhouse this man was as the cornerstone for the male actor "dreamboat" and "beefcake" manufacturing industry that Hollywood evolved into during the 1940s and 50s. So I decided old Henry deserved a blog detect all his hold today.

Henry Leroy Willson (1911 ~1978) -- and yes, that's "Willson" spelled with two l's plus, appropriately enough, a "son" added on at the conclusion -- was an older gay man, what today we would call a notorious "chicken hawk" of an old queen, frequenting gentlemen's overnight clubs along

The Lack of Concrete Evidence

It's vital to state upfront: there is no verifiable evidence to support claims that Clint Walker was gay. Numerous biographies and interviews with those who knew him personally undertake not offer any credible information suggesting a homosexual orientation.
