TY HARDIN is dead to me !!

Monica: Let's just enjoy what we have - it makes this crazy circus life more bearable.

Frank: You sure know how to put out a fire.

Monica: If you want me to spell it out for you I will. To me what we have is no more important than a greeting card. Sometimes maybe not as friendly.

Frank: I'll make you changer your mind.

Monica: You'll try - and you'll fail.

Frank: Why?

Monica: Too many obstacles.

Frank: Like Durando?

Monica: He's just my business partner.

Frank: Well I hate the old lecher - the way he drools over you, the way he watches, the way he watches me- he stinks of jealousy!

Monica: Stop it! That's just what I mean. You get all worked up and spoil everything. Now look, Frank -what I do with my life is strictly my own affair.

Frank: I'll remember that.

MONICA KISSES FRANK ON THE CHEEK

Monica: And now...I need my sleep.

MONICA TAKES A DEEP DRAG FROM HER CIGARETTE

Frank: Goodnight, Monica.

FRANK EXITS

He was something else back in the day !

I asked him once, "You know what I think was your best acting ?"

"Bronco ? In PT 109 ?," he offered.

"No sir," I continued, "in BERSErK. When you looked at Joan Crawford like you wanted to nail her and said 'I'm crazy about you Monica'. Ty, I'm telling ya, Strasberg couldn't have done it better." He laughed.

I thought r1 thought he was typing in a "Shameless" thread.

A friend of his on Twitter has mentioned it as well.

THE CHAPMAN REPORT

I just googled him the other day. I was getting ready for work and an episode of his show Bronco was on. I didn't know who he was but he was very good looking. Of course, I then find out he was a right wing nut job

With the love Diana Dors.......

^^^lovely^^^

Another of those Henry Willson boys with the "interesting" names. (His real name was Orison Whipple Hungerford, Jr.) I guess they could get away with "Hardin" because "hard-on" was not used in polite company in the '50s.

My grandfather called him Hardon

Hey! Don't forget his role as "Stretch" in that Gay Mecca locale, "Palm Springs Weekend" (1963) - with Troy Donohue, Connie Stevens, Robert Conrad, Stefanie Powers, Jerry Van Dyke, and Billy Mumy!

8 wives and 10 children!

Such a Ken Doll!

Like most Willson proteges, he wasn't much of an actor. He was a kind of male Connie Stevens for Warner Brothers' interchangeable tv westerns.

[quote] 8 wives and 10 children!

I had never heard of him but Googled him when I saw this thread. The eight wives is what stuck out to me.

So young.

Wingnut, would be "patriot" all because he wasn't paying his taxes.

I saw him about ten years ago in Lone Pine CA at the annual film festival (Lone Pine is where they shot a lot of Westerns). He was with his pretty younger wife (not sure which number) and they had set up a stall where you could buy memorabilia and have your photo taken with Ty. He looked amazing. He was just gorgeous and one of those guys who aged well. I remember thinking he pinged, to me at least. He was handsome, dressed to a T, moisturized, and just plain well-put together for someone in his 70s. Ty was by far one of the nicest and more famous of the stars at Lone Pine and he and his wife charmed everyone.

He had a hot ass, but he couldn't live forever

In 1969, in the U.K., Ty Hardin played Stanley Kowalski to Veronica Lake's Blanche Du Bois.

Oh, to have seen that!

Any recent photos of Ty at one of those autograph conventions?

Robert Fuller and Clint Walker must be the only two surviving hunks of those ubiquitous ABC TV Westerns of the late 1950s/early 1960s.

A real cutie! According to the internet he died on August 3rd at 87 years of age. Beautiful male eye candy back in the day.

Didn't know he was in the campy "Berserk" with Joanie but I remember seeing the movie on TV years ago. Have to give it another watch.

Ty Hardon was in a movie with Henry Fonda called "Battle Of The Bulge". How appropriate........

R21

Jesus. He was tall, like 6'3". Lake was barely 5' tall if that. Extremely tiny woman; often bought her clothes from the girls department.

R24

It wouldn't have been any 'battle'; not between stars anyway> FONDA was known for having barely adequate cock. His son, PETER is known for having a little one.

Yeah, I remember him. Hot. Very hot.

He looks like Tom Brady at R27.

Complete radical, anti-semitic, right wing nut case!

One fewer Trump voter!

I was just watching Bronco last night.

Hardin ran a militia group nearby my humble abode called the Arizona Patriots. Reputed connections to Timothy McVeigh and various anti-government plots.

I've had my fill of these extremely un-American, soverign citizen, 'patriot' assholes.

R2, I don't think that's Ty. Sorry to hear he was a nutcase, but not surprised. Couldnt act for shit. Well, he and Henry W are together again.

Is Clint bonkers too?

Hawt.

Whoopsie. Meant to post this one:

....

I get him, Wil Hutchins, and Jeffrey Hunter confused.

They all arewere blondish

Hunter's turn in "King of Kings" was known as "I was a Teenage Jesus" and he died young. Hutchins is still alive and could do comedy.

Which beefcake photographer shot Hardin?

He was handsome but rather bland. He made Tab Hunter look complex.

Poor dear! He's over me at last. When we made BERSERK! together he constantly pressured me for extra, late night "rehearsals" of our scenes. He simply wouldn't understand that it was just acting, and that I was still in mourning for my darling Al.

So...he was sort of like the Kellan Lutz of his day?

Who?

Whipple Hungerford,? Even his real name sound like a porn name.

Wingnut or not, I would have wrapped my legs around him and taken a ride.

Don’t let 8 wives and 10 kids fool you - queer as a 3 dollar bill

"Bronco, Bronco Riding across the Texas plain. Bronco, Bronco Bronco Layne.

Show me a girl who's kissed him one time, Show me a girl who's kissed him twice, Show me a girl who's kissed him three times That one will be his wife."

The good old tv days of cowboys and ptsd union soldiers. Just the other night I was singing the opening to "Branded" in light of Tiny IQ45's dismissal of General Mattis.

Fuck all this fantasy Marvel and DC comic bullshit; give us some relatable, realistic heroes and anti-heroes. Reboot Cheyenne, Have Gun Will Travel, Maverick, Alias Smith and Jones, Wagon Train, Broken Arrow, etc. along with their narrative theme songs.

RIP, Ty Hardin, my childhood friend.

He had a hot ass but he couldn't live forever.

Bronco!
