Great thread!! Thanks guys and gals!! I didn't know this about Carole Lombard:

"It was during one such drive that the beautiful screwball comedian Carole Lombard, wife of Clark Gable, died in a plane crash. Lombard, who had just raised $2.5 million for the cause, had also starred in an anti-Nazi film, the hilarious To Be or Not to Be, with Jack Benny. When she died, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt eulogized her, saying, "She gave unselfishly of time and talent to serve her government in peace and war."

I didn't know John Wayne tried to enlist THREE times!!

There were a lot of things I didn't know until I read this post. It was extremely interesting and informative.

FUN READ..and a reminder of when Hollywood MEN were REAL MEN, and the WOMEN WERE REAL WOMEN!!!

Again.. THANKS!!! & a BUMP TO THE TOP!!

FRegards, Vets

Thanks. It's just amazing how Hollywood could have changed so much in such a short time.

I learned a lot too about some 'real' Hollywood heroes. SAMWolf does a great job each day, but today's thread is especially good, I think.
