One thought about Ward Bond
I never met the man and l have read that he was not the easiest person to get along with. What l do know though is he was in movies for a long time and always put in a decent performance. "The Searchers" is one movie that comes to mind in which he stood out but there were many more. Yes,he deserves his star
