  • Walter Brennan Was The Most Evil Man in Hollywood
    More than 50 years after his death, the nearly forgotten memories of Walter Brennan are relived in the minds of all who hear of him, although not for palatable reasons. Known for being the first actor to win the Best Supporting Actor Award three times, Walter’s versatility in his movies and his resilience to push forward have been his notable traits, however, his controversial views are what he’s infamous for today. How did a beloved actor come to be known as the most evil man in Hollywood? Let’s find out!

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    Well I would not call him EVIL just because of his personal feelings towards skin color or political /social views. On some I agree with him. He was just honest and free to be open for what he wanted. Should not real freedom let every human to be this way??? Do I have to like what you like??? Definitely not.

    Looks like he pretty much was right about the direction of the country was going! As far as the story goes, there’s a lot of accusations about him being a bigot in interviews but not one clip of them? It’s easy for assassinate a man’s character after he’s dead and buried…

    In an insightful twist, it would seem that through his harsh stance on certain issues, which today would be politically incorrect, the resulting direction of our society is proving that maybe his perspective on the results of the directions that Walter Brennan envisioned have actually become reality in the world we inhabit today. While diplomacy was obviously not his strong suit, what he personally believed was what he stood for, and like it or not, his insight into the future that is today could be considered somewhat accurate. Whatever we think of his personal stands on issues, he had an amazing career, worked through tough times and circumstances, and has become, in that arena, a memorable actor.

    Walter Brennan was a man of his times. He was spot on about removing prayer from the schools. As a Catholic, I understand that there are many non-denominational prayers out there that don't infringe on anyone's belief other than an acceptance of a supreme being. Look at children and young adults today, the godlessness is rampant.

    A product of his time. Born in mid-1894, his views perfectly reflected the vast majority of Americans, North, South, East, and West, through the next century and at least the first quarter of this one. My own Southern born and raised grandmother held similar beliefs, though not as virulent nor outspoken. Yet, her children and grandchildren saw the lie for what it is.

It's those who hide their thoughts you have to be cautious with. You never know when they will turn on you. Brennan was a great actor. Loved his work. When I was a teenager, I loved him on The Real McCoys.
