Godspeed, Charlie X.

RIP Robert Walker Jr., 79. Syfy ranked him #6 in their list of The 17 best TOS guest stars. Rare 1983 interview. The spitting image of his father, he was the son of Jennifer Jones and Robert Walker, who had a turbulent relationship. Walker senior died tragically at age 32 in 1951.

This is tragic. I know how much he wanted to stay.

(However, when it comes to his father, I wish we would not use "turbulent" as code for "he probably beat her.")
