Walter Cartier embarked on a remarkable journey in the world of boxing at a remarkably young age. His early foray into the sport was marked by a series of thrilling boxing exhibitions, which he shared with his identical twin brother, Vincent Cartier, at the esteemed Woodstock, Connecticut Country Fair. These captivating displays were orchestrated by their older brother, who played a pivotal role in introducing the twins to the world of professional boxing.
Subsequently, Walter and Vincent Cartier took their fighting skills to the Navy, where they regaled audiences at various venues, including the iconic Chicago Pier. Their exploits in the ring were cut short, however, when Walter answered the call to serve his country during World War II.
Following his military service, Walter Cartier decided to pursue a career as a professional prizefighter. His dedication and perseverance eventually paid off, as he was featured in a prominent photo spread for Look Magazine's "Prizefighter" edition. This exposure led to a unique opportunity for Walter to make his film debut in director Stanley Kubrick's groundbreaking documentary, "Day of the Fight" (1951).
After making his mark on the big screen, Walter Cartier continued to appear in various television shows and movies, albeit in smaller roles. His remarkable journey in the entertainment industry ultimately came to a close in 1995, when he passed away at the age of 73.
