Susan Cavallari is the last woman known as Clint Walker's wife. She lived a quiet life with her husband and was a relatively private figure herself. Alongside the late actor's daughter, she was present when he passed away.
Susan Cavallari's husband, Clint Walker, entered the TV and film industry in the mid-1950s and soared to stardom only a year in as Cheyenne Bodie in the beloved Western series "Cheyenne." The Emmy-nominated show aired seven seasons between 1955 and 1963.
Clint starred in several other productions during and after his time in "Cheyenne," notably 1956's "The Ten Commandments" and 1967's "The Dirty Dozen." As for his personal life, the actor married three times. His final marriage lasted until he died in 2018.

Who Is Susan Cavallari?
Beyond her marriage with Clint, there is little information about Susan's background or career. The same can be said about her relationship with Clint, but the pair are said to have met in Grass Valley, California.
They tied the knot in Sparks, Nevada, on March 7, 1997. The couple kept their relationship hidden from the spotlight, though they sometimes attended public events together. Among their earliest public appearances is one from August 2000 in Beverly Hills.
Susan had accompanied her husband to the 18th Annual Golden Boot Awards. She wore a black tasseled jacket with a white blouse and black high-waist jeans with a silver chain belt. Clint matched with his wife in a white button-up, black trousers, and a leather jacket.
The lovebirds made another appearance in Beverly Hills in September 2012. They were pictured at the retro TV action-adventure-thon at The Paley Center for Media. Susan also frequently appears on Clint's Facebook page; from their photos, it's clear the pair had a similar sense of style.
