I put this in the TV Chat group too, because his son Robert Walker Jr. showed up in a lot of TV shows.

Actor Robert Walker was #BornOnThisDay, Oct. 13, 1918. Remembered today for his film role in #Hitchcock's Strangers on a Train (1951). Suffering from #alcoholism & #mentalillness, passed in 1951 (age 32) from #amobarbital & #alcohol. #RIP #gonetoosoon #MentalHealthAwareness #BOTD

That is what killed him, not alcohol or mental illness. The combination was deadly.

He was so charming in the film The Clock with Judy Garland.

His son looked a lot like him. He was a hippie in Easy Rider.
