Timeline

2003

He was married over 50 years until his wife passed away in 2003 from cancer. Clu's career started off as bit parts on popular western shows usually playing the heavy. Shows like Wanted Dead or Alive, Have Gun Will Travel, Laramie, Riverboat.

1985

Clu finally got a lead part in Dan O' Bannon's cult classic The Return of the Living Dead (1985).

He also was in A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's Revenge (1985) Throughout the 80's and 90's he would appear in TV and in the occasional horror flick.

1981

Was Earl Hamner Jr.'s first choice for the male lead role in Falcon Crest (1981), which starred Jane Wyman. He appeared in the unaired pilot episode "The Vintage Years," but was not rehired. Robert Foxworth was cast in the lead male role of Chase Gioberti, continuing until his departure at the end of season six in 1987.

1980

Revitalized his career in the 1980s in scores of horror flicks that took advantage of his ever-growing, wild-eyed eccentricities.

1976

Gulager is the father of Tom Gulager and film director John Gulager. His wife, actress Miriam Byrd-Nethery, played Woody Guthrie's mother in Bound for Glory (1976), died in Los Angeles in 2003.

1971

His stand out films were The Last Picture Show (1971, playing Ellen Burstyn's lover), McQ (1974) with John Wayne and A Force of One (1979) with Chuck Norris, with whom he would work in the 1990's on Walker, Texas Ranger. Clu was also cast in San Francisco International Airport, with Lloyd Bridges, which failed big time. Throughout the 70's and 80's he was in almost every show around, playing bit parts. Then the unthinkable happened: he found a second career as a horror film actor; he followed the footsteps of other TV actors who were stuck in TV hell, like his costar from The Virginian --Doug McClure-- and Christopher George. Both of them in late 70's and early 80's found new careers in B movies and late night horror films.

1970

He was given the script for MASH (1970). He turned down the offer because he hated it. He says that was one of his biggest career mistakes.

1964

Clu's next big break was playing Deputy Emmett Ryker on The Virginian from 1964-1968.

During this time he also fared very well as Lee Marvin's sidekick in the 1964 TV film The Killers, which was considered too violent for TV so it went to theaters. Having being burned out being a TV star he tried to break into films, mostly as a character actor.

1960

He scored big with The Untouchables as Mad Dog Coll, which led to him being offered the role of Billy the Kid on The Tallman from 1960-1961, which also starred Barry Sullivan as Pat Garrett. The show was pulled after two seasons by Congress because they didn't like the idea that kids were seeing the outlaw Billy the Kid as a hero.

1958

Clu and his wife, Miriam Byrd-Nethery, had two sons - John Gulager (b. 1958) and Tom Gulager (b. 1965).

1957

They had two children together --John, born in 1957, and Tom, born 1965.

1946

Clu Gulager was born William Martin Gulager in Holdenville, Hughes County, Oklahoma. His nickname was given to him by his father for the clu-clu birds (known in English as martins, like his middle name) that were nesting at the Gulager home at the time Clu was born. He grew up on his uncle's ranch as a cowhand and when he was old enough he joined the United States Marine Corps for a stint from 1946-1948. He got the acting bug being in army plays so when he left he used the GI Bill of Rights to study acting. During this time he met his wife, actress Miriam Byrd Nethery.

1940

Attended Northeastern State College (now Northeastern State University) Tahlequah, Oklahoma, in the late 1940s.
