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.

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.
-
He would lose his mind if he saw what's going on in America today.
-
Compared to the evil in Hollywood today Brennan would be considered a choir boy!
-
Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.

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. ⚘️🕊

He was one of the best actors back in those days.
-
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.
-
He was a great actor and not afraid to express his personal beliefs!!
-
He was only saying out loud what so many others were thinking because he had a platform to use and they didn't. So much of what he believed was merely foreshadowing of what we live with today. He was not evil. He was outspoken.

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

Thanks for this info. I never knew all this. I like him even more after learning some of this.

My my, if Brennan was evil--just think how many "evil" people there are in this world. Sure would like to see his old movies in TV because he was a great actor.
-
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.

A great actor, No Brag Just Fact.
-
Sounds like he was a normal person with his own beliefs just like anyone else. Damn good actor and a smart man
-
Will always remember him as "Grand Pa" in "The Real McCoy's "
-
At that time, a great many people blamed communism for the protests.
-
he seemed to be right on target
