In 1947, Anthony Quinn came hat-in-hand to Bond. Ward Bond was extremely busy always in demand as a character actor, he now began to function as a self-appointed Inspector Javert, checking out the anticommunist bona fides of various actors, writers and directors. Ward Bond doesn’t come off too well in Scott Eyman’s biography “John Wayne: The Life and Legend.” He was a member of the Ford-Wayne alchoholic Irishmen club, but I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about his association with the right-wing Motion Picture Alliance and the Hollywood blacklist. Here is a fascinating piece called :Ward Bond: Oaf, Loudmouth, Anti-Semite Bond was notorious as an anti-Semitic piece of shit. Instead of throwing a fake punch during a fight scene on Wagon Train, Bond reared back an cold-cocked Landau when they were filming the show. Landau was appearing on Wagon Train when Bond learned that he was a Jewish New York actor. This week, on the wonderful podcast Gilbert Gottfried’s Amazing Colossal Podcast with Frank Santopadre, their guest Robert Wuhl told a story that Martin Landau told him. Red Baiter who named names, Jew hater, Racist of the worst kind, drinker and an all around bad dude.

Much like we have shown with Walter Brennan, Victor McLaglen, Eugene Pallette, Charles Coburn and others- don’t fall for the kindly demeanor they can ably display as an actor.īond was a monster is every way. Separate the art and craft from the person. Who can forget Bond as Bert, the cop in Capra’s “It’s a Wonderful Life” or Captain Clayton alongside John Wayne in John Ford’s “The Searchers” (1956), or in Gone With the Wind, Mister Roberts, Bringing up Baby, Sergeant York, The Maltese Falcon Rio Bravo, the priest in The Quiet Man etc etc etc.īut, as we recommend, don’t believe the actor is what they portray.
