FutTheWuk beat you to the punch on that one. How do you youngsters know this? Fut says he just retains useless info.....what's your excuse?
This old movie trivia can be some fun and with TCM it's a little easier than it used to be.
I was talking to a friend about the old Hollywood and was reminded of Ward Bond, who was an extremely hard-nosed anti-communist. When Krschev came to the US, he was so incensed that he flew his flag at half mast during his entire visit. He was really one of the good guys......very close to John Wayne and probably responsible for Wayne tirning from a liberal to a conservative. Of course, Walter Brennan was also in the same camp and helped Ward with that. Walter Brennan and his wife used to attend a 4th of July seminar in Boston called the God, Family and Country Rally. I attended several times and was always surprised to see how normal Walter Brennan looked. He looked like an average Joe and was a very nice person...always smiled and said hello to those he recognized.
Don't know how I got off on this tangent. Maybe it was that marguerita I just had.
I sure hope that we're all in a position to meet someday......maybe at the next shareholder's meeting. That would be great!!
