Give me the stars of old Hollywood anyday. In contrast to the ideals, opinions and feelings of today's "Hollywood" the real actors of our past loved their country, and the United States. They exhibited characteristics of class and integrity. With the advent of World War II, many of our actors enlisted in the military to fight rather than stand and rant against their country. They gave up their wealth, position and movie fame to become service men & women, many as "enlisted men", or set their careers aside to entertain the troops.
