My mom adored Clint Walker when he was on Cheyenne. Definitely the rugged, Hollywood good looks of the 50's that made him perfect for that role. I saw Clint Walker recently, I think on the TV Land Awards. Poor fella...he got old. But he still has that wonderful rugged voice.
Are you related to anyone famous?

On my father's side, our family ancestry was researched when I was a young adult...by my aunt.....who reported that we are descendants of Richard, the lion-hearted....King of England....so I've been thinking lately that if I can't live forever in paradise on earth with a buncha anal-retentive scaredy cats, I'm gonna go over to England soon and depose the present-day royal hineys and claim my family heraldry and be the Queen of England....
On my mother's side, my g/g/mom was from Tennessee....I don't know much, if anything about our family ancestry on this side, except we're of Irish, English and Scots descent and my g/g/dad changed his name from O'Neill, dropping the "O".....my mom and her sisters had every color of hair it is humanly possible to grow, except dark brown and black.....I've noticed that we have a LOT of short women from this side of the family....and facial features resembling Dolly Parton's fam....so maybe back in Tennessee somewhere along the line, our fam and Dolly's fam made a "connection"....can't say for sure....just know NONE of us got her bazoomers...

My Greatgrandparents (on my mothers side) were Beauforts from England.. so I'm distantly related to all the old Beaufort kings and Queens of England... I believe Henry The VIII falls in there somewhere..

My father is well known in the medical community (he's a Nobel laureate), but I don't know if that counts as famous.
