Biographer [[Patricia Bosworth]] stated the two first met in 1948, but did not become good friends until 10 years later, after Clift's disfiguring car accident. Bosworth adds that Walker would sustain him as his dearest friend for the rest of his life; their relationship was one of mutual support β whereas most of Clift's friends assumed he needed to be looked after, or else left alone, Walker stated, "he needed to be needed", adding "I liked his face better after the accident; his strength ''shone'' through." Clift nicknamed friends for whom he felt particular affection, and he called Walker "Nanny".<ref>{{cite book| last=Bosworth| first=Patricia| title=Montgomery Clift: A Biography| url=https://books.google.com/books?id=mEWJpRZju4YC&q=Nanny| date=June 5, 2012| publisher=Open Road Media| pages=322β323| isbn=978-1-4532-4501-9}}</ref> Walker was a [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democrat]] who supported [[Adlai Stevenson II|Adlai Stevenson]]'s campaign during the [[1952 United States presidential election|1952 presidential election]].<ref>''[[Motion Picture Magazine|Motion Picture and Television Magazine]]''.
