OK.......repent.

[Liz]

I believe Jimmy Stewart became a general.......and received numerous military honors.

[TADSLOS]

I’m putting myself in time out now :)

LMAO.

" Clark Gable was the real deal."

Carole's demise hit him pretty hard.

"Asking admin to please correct title USAAF. "

What is wrong with it?

[Lurker]

“He would have looked good in anything (or nothing). Oops!”

Mrs. L agrees.

I’ll always think that Gregory Peck was the most handsome of the old stars. I think he was exempted from service due to an old injury, though.

LIZ, search famousveteran keyword, I have already featured Jimmy Stewart along with 38 others.

[eastforker]

I posted ASAAF by mistake.

Today it’s accurate. American (not quite united) States of America.

“I’ll always think that Gregory Peck was the most handsome of the old stars.”

He turned out to be a prick despite “12 o’clock High”.

[Liz]

No question....Peck got handsomer as he got older.

[Liz]

Thanks....guess I missed your Jimmy post.

[Jamestown1630]

I think almost all men become more attractive as they get older.

Afterward, the crew noticed the fifteen holes in the aircraft, and Gable noticed his boot. Brushing off concern with reporters, Gable claimed, "I didn't know it had happened. I didn't know anything about it until we had dropped eleven thousand feet, and could get off oxygen and look around. Only then did I see the hole in the turret."

He should just said "I don't give a damn".

[Jamestown1630]

Well, almost none of them are really like the roles they play. (Maybe John Wayne was ;-)

I don’t pay them for who they are, I pay for what they pretend to be.

I’m looking forward to it. Great threads.

My mother-in-law loved Gable. Years ago, I saw in the paper that a pair of his khaki slacks had fetched $80 at an auction. She took offence when I told her she could have gotten his pants for 80 bucks. She thought I said that she could have got in his pants.

The mustash was not to regulation size but what the hell.Its Clark Cable so they let it stay.Great for the war effort and he did his small part just like so many others did.

And Jimmy Stewart was certainly the real deal.The stories of him flying combat missions called for some real stones.Flying an unarmed B-24 formation ship over the european mainland to fill out a box was something else.A mans man for sure.
