While Rory Calhoun's star was rising for the studio to whom he was contracted, that studio back-stabbed him. None of the current biography web sites mention the fact that one of the major gossip columnists (Hedda Hopper, or the other one (name forgotten), discovered a famous female star had been involved in an action which, if made to the papers, would ruin her career. The studio worked out a compromise -- it gave up Rory Calhoun's "jail" records in return for silence on the female star. This led to Rory's down turn at that time and he never recovered. He went on doing B and C grade movies and then to TV.
Why does mr.burns refer to him as the man'whos always standing and walking'?Dermo69

- It's a joke on Burns because EVERYONE in the world (well almost) stands and walks, and Burns is so self-absorbed he fails to notice he gave a clue that could fit billions of people.
Shouldn't there also be a page for Rory Calhoun the boxer?
