Audie Murphy also was an actor for a time after he got out of the service as I’m sure everyone knows. He worked with Doug McClure on a western movie I think it was. I remember McClure being interviewed several years ago and saying that Audie had flashbacks to the war pretty bad. McClure said that one day he knocked on Audie’s trailer door on location, and that Murphy came to the door holding a gun pointed at him and in a trancelike state. McClure said he just held up both hands, said “Easy Audie”, and backed slowly down the steps from the trailer and left. After a while Murphy was back at himself.
I enjoyed his movies while I was growing up. I remember driving by the Highland Park Methodist Church as a child and being told that his wedding party was exiting the church.
Welcome to the Canteen, Twinkie....I’m not surprised that he would have flashbacks. Thanks for the story.
