	Weekend: Rewind: No brag, just fact
		Walter Brennan was the quintessential Hollywood character actor.
		The accident occurred in 1932 when Brennan was still an unbilled stunt performer, mostly in sagebrush Westerns, and contributed both to his appearance as a man older than his years and to one of the most familiar voices ever in show business.
		Brennan was never a leading man, but a memorably limping sidekick for such Hollywood legends as John Wayne, Henry Fonda and Gary Cooper.

		Brennan was able to pick and choose his roles, and turned down the coveted part of Jeeter Lester in John Ford's production of Tobacco Road because the part seemed too morally compromised.
		Brennan did get to play the even more choice role of Ike Clanton in Ford's My Darling Clementine (1946) and reprised his portrayal of an outlaw clan leader in more comic fashion in Burt Kennedy's Support Your Local Sheriff some 23 years later.
		Mostly, though, Brennan was known to the public for his lovable, sometimes comical screen persona, and was still working as the '60s drew to a close, on made-for-TV movies such as The Over-the-Hill Gang, which reunited him with one of his favorite directors, Jean Yarbrough, and his old stablemate Chill Wills.

		His health all but broken by the experience, Brennan moved to California in the hope that the warm climate would help him and he lost most of what money he had when land values in the state collapsed in 1925.
		In 1959, the 64-year-old Brennan got one of the biggest roles of his career in Hawks' Red River, playing Stumpy, the game-legged jailhouse keeper who is backing up the besieged sheriff played by John Wayne.
		By this time, Brennan had become one of the more successful actors in Hollywood, with a 12,000-acre ranch in Northern California that was run by his sons, among other property.

		When I was 8 years old and I waited for two years for Walter Brennan and grandson to find the father, missed one show, and the next week it had disappeared.
		Re another reader's comment: yes, Brennan was 73 when the series started, but I think he always looked 105 even when he was 40 and I think he would have looked 105 if he were alive (and 108) today.
		My recollection is that they found the son of Walter brennan in the final episode and as they say in the classic westerns - they rode off into the sunset.

		An exception was his turn as the heartless Old Man Clanton in My Darling Clementine (1946), directed by the prickly John Ford.
		Ford and Brennan did not get along, and Ford was one of the few directors Brennan didn't collaborate with more than once throughout his career.
		Always fiscally and ideologically conservative, he became politically active in later life when he saw many of the things he held dear being eroded by the counterculture movement.

		Brennan was a popular movie actor and "Dutchmans Gold" was his first disc..at least the record companies realised the limits of his voice and went for the narrative style.
		Strange that no one seems to know how Brennan got into music in the first place.
		Brennan does not sing at all on the record, but one hears a melody at least in the CHORUS section (as opposed to the VERSE) sung by the female choir in the background in sort of a delay effect.
