Cheyenne. Old guys like ***, they'd know about Cheyenne.

Clint Walker -- best known for playing a TV cowboy on the hit western series "Cheyenne" -- has died ... TMZ has learned.

Clint died suddenly Monday in the company of his wife and daughter ... according to a source close to the family. It's still unclear what caused his death, but a family member says they believed it was a heart issue.

Walker broke into the Hollywood scene after landing a role in the classic film "The Ten Commandments." With his good looks and imposing physique -- Clint stood 6'6" -- he was cast as the roaming cowboy hero, Cheyenne Bodie, in 1955. The show aired for 7 seasons.

Philip Roth, whose novel American Pastoral won a Pulitzer in 1998 but who was best-known for the controversial and explicit 1969 Portnoy's Complaint, has died at age 85.

Roth's biographer Blake Bailey, who confirmed his death to NPR, says the author was surrounded by friends and family.

Roth was born in Newark, N.J., on March 19, 1933, and began a literary career in college. After briefly attending Rutgers University, he went to Bucknell University, where he started a magazine called Et Cetera, which featured some of his early short stories, according to Biography.com.

Astronaut Alan Bean, who was the fourth person to walk on the moon, has died.

A statement released by NASA and family members says Bean died Saturday in Houston after a short illness. He was 86.

Bean was the lunar module pilot on Apollo 12, which made the second moon landing in 1969.

He then commanded the second crewed flight to the United States' first space station, Skylab, in 1973. On that mission, he orbited the Earth for 59 days.

Bean spent a total of 69 days in space, including 31 hours on the moon.

His wife of 40 years, Leslie Bean, said in the statement he died peacefully surrounded by those who loved him.

About the time he got married, he pretty much started painting full time to fully document the six lunar landing missions.

Doubtful most of us will be around ta witness anybody makin' the journey and surviving long enough to tell us what Mars is like!

In any case NASA continues their work as if they'll put somebody  out there any day now.

Meanwhile there's daily feedback from the rovers that are still crawlin' around on Mars tu.

Much ado about...who the hell knows?

If the late Hall of Famer Stan Musial was the greatest Cardinal of them all, then fellow Hall of Famer Red Schoendienst easily could be called Mr. Cardinal.

Mr. Schoendienst, who died Wednesday evening (June 6, 2018) at home in Town and Country at age 95, wore the Cardinals uniform longer than anybody else in the franchises long and storied history and was the oldest living Hall of Famer.

He played for the Cardinals from 1945-56 and again from 1961-63. He coached for the 1964 world champion Cardinals and managed the Cardinals from 1965-76, winning National League pennants in 1967-68 and a World Series in 1967.

RIP Red. Great guy.

Little "Snippy", the Bob Gibson fan, will never forget the '67 WS. Bob pitched three complete games, allowed three runs total for the Series, and shut 'em down at Fenway in Game 7.

50 years ago, in 1968, they'd go on to another great Series (Gibson pitches three complete games again) and lose Game 7 to Detroit on an unscored Kurt Flood "error"* that ended up with Flood at The Supreme Court.

It was the healing that Detroit needed. They make movies about shit like that.
