| Orson Welles |
| Before moving to the silver screen, Orson Welles was a prolific radio actor and director. Perhaps he is best known for directing the October 30th, 1938 Mercury Theater On The Air production of War Of The Worlds. Welles version of this H.G. Wells story took a new twist as he made it sound like actual news bulletins reporting on a Martian invasion. Although Welle's claimed that it was not his intent, thousands of Americans were fooled into believing that an actual Martian invasion was taking place. In 1975 an excellent TV movie aired, called The Night That Panicked America. The movie stars John Ritter, Vic Morrow, Cliff DeYoung, Eileen Brennan, Tom Bosley and Meredith Baxter. If you ever get the opportunity to see this film don't miss it. It very accurately recreates radio production of the 1930's and has several sub-plots dealing with different folks reactions to the "invasion". |

| "What A Revoltin Development That Is!" Life Of Riley Star, William Bendix |
| Probably one of the nicest guys in Hollywood, Jimmy Stewart stopped acting when WWII started so he could go to war. He was initially turned down by the army for being underweight, he trained with MGM's muscle man Don Loomis to bulk up enough to pass the physical. Flying 20 dangerous combat missions as a B-24 bomber pilot in Europe, he remained in the reserve after the war ended, retiring from the USAF Reserve in 1968 as a brigadier general. Big difference from the movie stars of today. Jimmy Stewart was best known on radio as The Six Shooter. |
