Walter Reed(1916-2001)

In 2001 the city of Santa Cruz (CA) honored him by declaring July 14 "Walter Reed Day". A restored print of his 1956 western Tras la pista de los asesinos (1956) was shown at a local theater, and afterward he made imprints of his hands and feet in a square of wet cement in front of the theater.

[on Steve Brodie] I liked Steve. He was a real nice guy--funny guy--fun to be with. Also a very good actor, very competent. He was right there when he was needed. He lived hard, but he worked hard too. One day he just quit [films] and went into business. I don't think he pushed hard enough to really become big. He didn't realize how good he was.
