He would lose his mind if he saw what's going on in America today.

Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.

He wasn't any different than a lot of people during the cold War, building bunkers. He is no way the most evil man in Hollywood. There were and are more evil men than him.

Compared to the evil in Hollywood today Brennan would be considered a choir boy!

I was fortunate enough to visit the Desilu Studio with my father at the age of 11. They took us onto the set of the real McCoys where I got to meet Richard Crenna and Walter Brennan. My memory of Mr Brennan was totally positive. I asked him what was wrong with his leg because he limped. He took off his boot and showed me a wooden wedge that was placed in the heel of one boot that reminded him to limp. He said it was Very uncomfortable. He is in no way struck me as an evil person ,he seemed very outgoing ,and as an 11-year-old I liked him.

In Westerns, I don't believe that anyone could play the parts that he played. With John Wayne, James Garner, just to name s couple, I just don't believe that those Westerns could not of been of some of the best, without him.

If Walter was alive today, he's probably say, I told you so.

No, he was not evil except by today’s cancel culture standards. He was a man who stood by his principles, right or wrong. At least he wasn’t a phony, as so many in Hollywood are and have been.

Man of his time when critical thinking was allowed

I am anti-Comunist too.

WOW! Imagine thinking that the Vietnamese Communists were supported by Communists in Russia and China! SOOOO CRAZY! Also, Completely crazy to think that blacks in Los Angeles might be encouraged to riot by a few Communist agitators. Wow he's so CRAZY!!!!!!! I guess this is how you get your student film approved. for class credit at San Dimas Community College.

I'm old enough to remember him in many of the westerns my dad watched. I really liked him. He was a solid character I thought. He made the entire story come together and feel real. Rest in peace Walter. ⚘️🕊

Him and the Duke must have gotten along just fine.

He was one of the best actors back in those days.

The hardest part about this is that he was not entirely wrong.

A great actor, No Brag Just Fact.
