That's correct and his pals are dead.
Jimmy Stewart was a close friend and
a fellow Republican.
Merv Griffin is alive, but I can't recall
any of his other close show business pals
who are still living.
Melissa Gilbert wasn't alive when RWR
was SAG president, and by her statement
it is obvious.
Speaking of Jimmy Stewart, he was also a great man. He's my personal favorite actor of all time. He was the first of the A-list Hollywood actors to enlist after Pearl Harbor and retired from the reserves a brigadier general, the highest military rank ever achieved by a Hollywood figure. He never let his military achievements be used in his Hollywood publicity material.
I have many of these listed on my Profile Page.
