In 1976, Glenn costarred with such film greats as Henry Fonda, Robert Mitchum, James Coburn, Eddie Albert and Hal Holbrook in the film classic "Midway," which told the story of one of history’s greatest naval victories.

James Coburn was in that? Maybe they're confusing him with Charlton Heston?

James Coburn was in that?

Coburn played a small part, that of the Washington liason to Nimitz.

Lots of famous actors in that film. Just saw it again the other day (I can never NOT watch it). If you look close at the Midway Island scenes, you'll also see a very young Tom Selleck--without his mustache.
