Flashback: Hollywood Celebrates American Military Resolve
by Robert J. AvrechDuring this Memorial Day Weekend Big Hollywood pays tribute those who have fallen, and those who sacrifice so much in the cause of freedom.
Remember when Hollywood celebrities flocked across the globe to entertain and support American troops? Remember when Hollywood—as a community—denounced tyrants, Jew-haters, and mass murderers?
Joan Crawford as Miss Liberty
My father was a Rabbi, a Chaplain in the 42nd Division during World War II and the Korean War. He often told me just how much the troops loved and respected their Hollywood supporters.
Here’s just a brief sampler of what Hollywood patriotism once looked like.
–
In February 1954, on her honeymoon in Japan with Joe DiMaggio, Marilyn Monroe took time off and traveled to Korea to entertain the troops. Monroe appeared on stage wearing skimpy outfits in freezing temperatures. The men adored her. She performed ten shows in four days, in front of audiences that totaled more than 100,000 soldiers and Marines.
–
Marilyn performs Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend.
–
Dinah Shore, a hugely popular singer, traveled with USO tours throughout Europe. During one of her tours she met actor George Montgomery. They married in 1943. Soon after the wedding, Montgomery entered active service.
–
In the late 1930’s Nazi agents approached Marlene Dietrich and asked her to return to Germany. She flatly turned them down. Dietrich was one of the first celebrities to raise war bonds. She entertained troops on the front lines in dozens of USO shows. Dietrich hated the Nazis and often spoke out against anti-Semitism. Here, she’s autographing the cast of Earl E. McFarland at U.S. hospital in Belgium 1944.
–
Carole Landis probably logged more miles than any other actress in Hollywood during WWII entertaining American troops. She wrote a book about her experiences, Four Jills in a Jeep. Tragically, this generous but deeply unhappy young woman committed suicide in 1948 while carrying on a desperate affair with the married actor Rex Harrison—a notorious womanizer.
–
Bob Hope, friend to GI’s, entertains American servicemen at the airstrip in Munda, New Georgia, an island in the central Solomons, on Oct. 31, 1944. Hope’s commitment to America’s troops brought him into four wars: World War II, the Korean War, Viet Nam and the Persian Gulf War. When on tour the great comedian usually performed in Army fatigues. A 1997 act of Congress signed by President Clinton named Bob Hope an “Honorary Veteran.”
–
Carole Lombard raised millions of dollars selling war bonds. Tragically, she died in an airplane crash on January 15, 1942, after completing an eight-hour sales drive in Indiana in which she raised $2,017,513 in bonds . She was anxious to reunite with Clark Gable; they had only been married for three years. The last thing she said to him was: “You better get yourself into this man’s army.”
–
Following Lombard’s death, deeply depressed and drinking too much, Gable rallied and asked MGM to release him from his contract. He joined the U.S. Army Air Forces. Most of Gable’s friends believed that Hollywood’s greatest leading man was seeking death. Far too old for active service, Gable worked hard to earn his stripes. Gable trained with and accompanied the 351st Heavy Bomb Group as head of a 6-man motion picture unit making a gunnery training film. Gable flew five combat missions in B17’s. In one mission over Germany he was almost killed when a German 20mm shell exploded through the plane’s floor and ripped the heel from one of Gable’s flight boots. Adolf Hitler offered a million dollar bounty to anyone who captured Gable and brought him back to Germany as a POW. Gable was Hitler’s favorite actor. Gable left the Army Air Forces with the rank of Major.
–
Jimmy Stewart was a B-24 pilot in World War Two and flew twenty missions over Europe. Stewart ended the war as a command pilot and stayed in the Air Force Reserves until 1968, when he retired as a Brigadier General.

The Hollywood Canteen, 1451 Cahuenga Boulevard in Hollywood, California was open from October 3, 1942 until the end of World War II. The club offered food and entertainment for American servicemen. The founders of the Canteen were Bette Davis, John Garfield and composer Jules Stein. All costs and labor for The Hollywood Canteen were donated by the various Hollywood guilds and unions.
–
In the Hollywood Canteen, Bette Davis ladles out food for American servicemen. Davis devoted enormous amounts of time to the Canteen and served as its President. When funds ran low, she reached into her own pocketbook to cover expenses. Glamorous stars like Olivia De Havilland, Edward G. Robinson, Hedy Lamarr, Frank Sinatra, Dorothy Lamour, Cary Grant, Lauren Bacall, Randolph Scott and hundreds of others, volunteered to wait on tables, cook in the kitchen and clean up. Notable by their absence in the Hollywood Canteen were three great stars: Jimmy Cagney, Greta Garbo and Charlie Chaplin. In 1944, Warner Bros. produced a star-studded film—a revue really—about the Hollywood Canteen. When the Canteen closed its doors in November 1945, it had hosted almost three million servicemen.

Seeing and reading these accounts is like stepping into another world for me. All I've ever known are the America-hating Hollywood "stars" of modern time. I can barely imagine a Hollywood like this.
Great article, but why the slam on James Cagney? He joined a group called the Hollywood Victory Caravan that went around the country performing at military bases. Others in the Caravan were Groucho Marx, Merle Oberon, Desi Arnaz, Lucille Ball, etc. His role in Yankee Doodle Dandy in 1942 is one of the patriotic in film history.
Garbo was too self-absorbed and selfish to do anything to help anyone. Chaplin did raise millions of war bonds in WWI.
Another great entertainer (the "World's Greatest") that you left out was Al Jolson, who was probably one of the first to volunteer for the USO and to go and entertain the troops stationed in very remote places such as the Aleutian Islands. Usually it was just him and his piano player. Actually, Jolson has the distinction of serving in four wars: Spanish American (when he was a boy), WWI, WWII, and the Korean War.
I meant he ENTERTAINED troops in 4 wars…
Words fail. We're too selfish nowadays to sacrifice a thing. Sacrifice, especially in the case of Hollywood, is for "others". I know there are some present-day stars who entertain…a few anyway! Can you please list them? And the entertaining aspect is one thing…can you imagine a 'star" raising money for war bonds (if we had such things in the first place)? Obama and leftist politics is all they would raise money for…and that consists of sitting down to an expensive catered dinner. But SERVING servicemen in a funky little canteen!? Amazing, humbling and touching. Good for them-I salute our servicemen and I salute those stars of old that appreciated "our boys".

There is a big difference: Back then, Hollywood believed that what the US was doing was right. They weren't concerned over how we won, just that we should win.
Today, it's a matter of politics. There are those who entertain the troops, but they can do so either because they have the inner strength to do what is right for the troops, or they have enough personal and career power that the Left cannot blackball them. Fortunately, we have a good supply of both. Unfortunately there are too many of those who will not take care of the troops, because they do not want to be seen as supporting a war that the Left despises. After all, how far would someone get in their Hollywood careers if they were accused of comforting 'war criminals'?

Colleen: That goes not just for the troops but all causes which require personal sacrifice.
It's easy to give money, or sit down at a reception and dine on gourmet dinners. But it takes a lot to go to a homeless shelter and either serve food, or clean up afterwards at least one night a week, without a publicist entourage, or personal assistant on hand.
I'm old enough to remember the patriotic actors. Tyrone Power was a Marine, Robert Montgomery was a naval officer, as was John Ford. Hollywood truly went to war then.
I also remember when Hollywood turned against America too, when Viet Nam was going on hot and heavy. Actors like Donald Sutherland, Elliot Gould, Jane Fonda stood with the Communist North Vietnamese. John Wayne was ridiculed for his patriotism; his movie, the Green Berets came out in 68 when the war was hot, was denounced as jingoistic propaganda. Far as I'm concerned, today's Hollywood can sit in a tack and rotate.
If the reasons are pure, I never had any qualms about anyone who was against the war. Any war. War is not glory. It is hideous death and dismemberment suffered by individuals who, would rather be home drinking beer at a BBQ. To stand with the enemy and denounce your own, I have no use for. To vocally support and give "aid and comfort" to those that would kill us and destroy our way of life…..I hope there is a special place in hell for them.
There are so few people today that qualify as entertainers or performers.
It seems that every demographic has its favorite show biz personalities, but as for a national community, there isn't anyone we all like. Diversity celebrates our differences, so the willingness or ability to find common ground to share values has become obsolete. Conservatives have a country, liberals just live within a geographic area.
I have come to believe that the anti-war, anti-military people in this country really do not give a rat's a** about whether or not America fights, or doesn't fight. (I acknowledge the true objectors, bu they are few) These people just do not want America to be what America is and what it always will be as long as we have enough people here to believe in the idea of America. They cloak themselves in the mantle of peace and love. And act as some of the most un-peaceful, un-loving people around. They do not understand the cost of the liberty they enjoy and abuse, because they have never known anything else but that liberty. They are too immature to come to grips with the truth of the old saw that goes "Freedom is not free." I wish we were rid of them.

Bob Hope received a lot of grief for going to Vietnam every year. In one of his books, he talks about how unbelievable it was that some of the "top" stars of the day would refuse his offer to go with him on his next Christmas tour. Recently, he has been criticized by liberal rats who say that he only went for the publicity and was never in harm's way. Ask some of the soldiers and nurses who saw him and his troupe (Connie Stevens, Jerry Colonna, Les Brown, etc.) on the front lines. They were in danger many, many times. He also had a bounty on his head like Gable did in WWII.
Gary Sinise, Wayne Newton…great Americans who do tremendous work for the troops, but no one will replace ol' Ski Nose as far as the USO is concerned.
Baseball great Ted Williams enlisted twice, taking years from his ball career. Always admire Ted for that.
I read about Bob Hope – one day he was entertaining troops at a South Pacific Island – looked out over that sea of faces – smiling and laughing , and knew that for some of them it would be their last bit of happiness on this earth. I think that is to a large degree what motivated him all these years. Who can forget Hope in Vietnam along with Joey Heatherton, Raquel Welch….
One of my favorite Hollywood movies of old honoring our military is "Battleground". As I was coughing my head off this weekend, (diseased nephew, a.k.a. WMD- you have to love the little germ factories!), I was thrilled to be able to watch it once again. Each time I see the movie, the excellent editing and cinematography adds new depths to a movie that only slightly gives us an insight to the overwhelming circumstances many faced near Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge. If any of you get a chance to see "Battleground" I highly recommend it.
The reason I say the movie only gives the audience a slight insight to what these men suffered is because I once had the pleasure of meeting a man who served during the Battle of the Bulge. He did not speak of his service often, in fact he only mentioned it twice. I have found many of those who serve our nation do not prefer to call attention to their actions, or the bravery with which they have acted. Most men and women who serve in the military literally serve, and do so without any expectation of accolades, parades, medals or movies being made about their heroics. It is because of these self-less attitudes that I am forever grateful to Hollywood for making the movies of old about ordinary men and women who performed extraordinary feats of courage against horrific foes of both nature and man. I often think if it had not been for Hollywood making these movies, we would not have known to whatever degree, how so many loved this nation and freedom so very much.
I am not happy with the current state of Hollywood. However, to me it is not the responsibility of Hollywood to make sure our military, or the nation for that matter is honored, but rather it is the responsibility of the nation itself. We the public have some serious power to be active in making sure the military is treated respectfully by Hollywood. We can choose not to attend movies which demean the service of of military members and their families. If Hollywood makes a bogus movie about Iraq; DO NOT ATTEND IT! It is that simple. In addition, sending emails also can make a large impact. "Brothers at War" should be demanded to be seen by millions in their movie theaters. We the people have the power! The reason old Hollywood made the films, and went out to raise money for the war is because the people of this nation wanted to be active in contributing to the war efforts. Perhaps we do not need to look at the actions and efforts of Bob Hope and Carol Landis as being so remote and alien to current Hollywood. Maybe we the people need to get in the fight for what is right. We the people have the power!
"diseased nephew, a.k.a WMD" — LOL!!
You raise an interesting point about going straight to the theaters. Theaters have been hit by hard times for a variety of reasons — including the popularity of DVDs and on-demand movies. To respond to this, theaters have started showing alternative content. For example, some are now showing life NFL games (in 3D I believe). Others are showing Opera performances from the NY Met (my parents go to those religiously) and rock concerts.
What they should think about doing, is connecting with groups like the GI film festival people and showing some of those films one a "one-off" basis. Just a thought.
I volunteer with the USO and I have to say that there are some actors who are still continuing the tradition of these earlier stars. I respect them a lot because they are going on USO tours in an environment where people in their industry may not approve.
In particular, I have seen Gary Sinese at a couple of USO events and he is spectacular with the men and women in uniform who are there to see him.
I was born just after WWII, but I remember the patriotic '50s and I loved the patriotic war movies and actors. To give the other side of the story, it was a great shock to millions of us, to find our country slaughtering people in a country where we did not belong, Viet Nam. After we left, the North and South re-united and they did just fine. I did not agree with Jane Fonda's extremism, but we really did not belong there.
It has been even more of a shock to see the country I love repeat that very same mistake in Iraq. The hard lesson should have been learned the first time. We must sacrifice our best people ONLY as a last resort!
Five seasons during what should have been his peak- had he played he might well have broken 650 homers. And the Marines offered him a cushy billet playing on a service baseball team- instead he strapped on an airplane. Good on yer, Ted.
If by "just fine" you mean six million dead in the Cambodia killing fields, a huge armada of boat people from Viet Nam who fled the Communist freaks who took over their country, well, yeah, I guess Viet Nam did "just fine."
My son's friend is half Vietnamese. His mom was put on a boat with her two brothers. They never saw their parents again. In the south China sea, she protected her little brothers while they nearly died of thirst and starvation. They made it, finally, to America, where she now lives in safety and freedom. I think she'd like to have words with you, JamesS — after she takes her tiny little high heel out of the center of your chest.
Last year I received a pedicure certificate as a present. (Why didn't anyone tell me how great these were before now?) My little pedicurist was also Vietnamese. She was also put on a boat by her parents to escape the commies (the ones that you think are "just fine"). She was older, though, so she had to sleep with the boat captain or be thrown overboard. Her daughter, born of that relationship, is now a dentist. She does pedicures in Colorado and owns her own business. She might want to have words with you too, JamesS — maybe you could take her place in a circle of hell, and endlessly have to suffer rape or the circling fins of the sharks?
To think that poor Viet Nam was destroyed by the filthy, unspeakable hippies that were used as pawns by the communists to turn the American people away from the desperate people of Viet Nam, and an ignorant, ignorant person like JamesS perpetuates this lie? It's just unbearable.
Thank you for the very touching post, Bonnie. It's a shame that it takes immigrants from other countries to tell Americans what freedom and safety really are. We have taken so much for granted for sooo long.
Many country singers have flown to the Middle East to entertain the troops in Iraq & Afganistan.
I have Battleground here at home right now (Netflix rental). I plan on watching it on my upcoming off days this week. I was unfamiliar with the movie and it the mention of it on this board, as well as a YouTube snippet, that sent me running to my Netflix queue. I'll try to remembr to mention what I thought about it when I finally see it.
There is a whole slew of films featuring Hollywood stars supporting the military during WWII in one form or another. All worth seeing. Thanks for highlighting this on Memorial Day. This post is just one more reminder of why you're my favorite Big Hollywood contributor.
Mr. Averich, I want to thank you so much for yet another wonderful article. Although these times were before my own time, I heard my grandparents speak of this era so often that when I speak of the War, I mean WWII and not something more recent and it was a period that I studied quite intensely. To see how Hollywood turned out to support their country at war was — as I think somone else commented — like something out of another universe. Don't know if you all have seen this before, but checkout Patty Andrews with the deliciously wicked Peter Lorre and Sydney Greenstreet doing their part at the Hollywood Canteen! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwRNYZs_I88
Thanks again Mr. Averich for such a poignant, wonderful column. God bless you!
The thing I have a problem with is people think these changes "just happen" or refuse to consider why indeed they did happen. Lombard didn't tell Clark Gable to get into this man's Army in a vacuum. Anyone perceived unpatriotic in Hollywood or in private life faced severe sanctions and ruin.
Part of the reason for huge support for the War in WWII was political. Woody Guthrie made an anti-War, pro-Hilter record in 1940, when Hitler and Stalin were pals. After June 1941, he paid to have the records withdrawn and destroyed. No more singing about "Mr. Roosevelt's War for the Jews," and so on. The Red factions within Hollywood were solidly pro-Hitler up to June 1941, solidly against him thereafter.
But just as important is the tragic fact that Hollywood became disconnected from most of it's audience along gender lines. Hollywood is a mostly gay/female ghetto, a few big Summer blockbusters notwithstanding. In the meantime, women have moved hard-left. Most women are unmarried, look to large welfare states (butter competing with guns) and view even 9/11 as something remote, that "America deserved," and impossible to happen again. There isn't any sense of danger that we could lose, as in WWII.
You can see this process most clearly by WHO has visited troops in Kuwait, Afghanistan, and Iraq. Mostly male-audience country stars, Professional Wrestlers and the WWE, guys like Sinise, and conservative leaning people like Jessica Simpson who know they have no upward career in Hollywood. ABSENT have been female-appealing stars like Nicole Kidman, Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Aniston, Julia Roberts, Drew Barrymore, Sarah Jessica Parker, and so on because their female audience would drop them like a rock if they did go. THAT's the difference between 2009 and 1943. In 1943, female-oriented stars went all over the place with the troops.
"Woody Guthrie made an anti-War, pro-Hilter record in 1940, when Hitler and Stalin were pals."
Factcheck: That album, "Songs For John Doe," was recorded by the Popular Front/CPUSA group The Almanac Singers. Guthrie would join the Almanacs shortly thereafter, but the singers on that particular noxious album were Pete Seeger, Millard Lampell, Josh White, and Sam Gary.
After America surrendered in Viet Nam, the North Vietnamese slaughtered approximately 800,000 ahem, counter revolutionaries. Gulags for Stalinist style reeducation were set up all over the country. In Cambodia the Communist Khmer Rouge murdered millions of souls, knowing that America would never intervene. I don't believe that this is a rational definition of “They did just fine.”
You're very welcome. Thanks so much for the clip.
What? No pics of Al Franken or Kathy Griffin, both of whom have entertained the troops numerous times during the current wars? I'm shocked, I tell you – shocked!

Hey look – it's liberal Hollywood actress Renee Zellweger!
Say, what was the point of this story again?
Thanks Bonnie…you said everything I started to after reading JamesS' post! What a complete and utter foolish, misguided load of crap he wrote…is he 16 or what?! Even here in our small (pop. 1600 ) town, we have a large group of Vietnamese, Cambodians and Laos people that were all refugees and boat people from those lands that did "just fine"! They escaped running at night, sliding under barbed wire, tossed at sea on little rickety boats…all to come here and-in the case of one family-graduate two National Merit Scholars (one to Princeton and one to Harvard)…all while running their own little Chinese restaurant (in northern Minnesota) and living above it in a teensy apartment. The Laos and Cambodian people in our town are the hardest working (major window manufacturing)…they have recently raised a Buddhist temple (it's about 2 miles from us and it's lively at times!) and they love their lives here in America…even though it gets down to -45 degrees in the winter. They love to ice fish! At any rate, I would love for them to speak to JamesS face to face and tell him where the bear shat in the woods when it comes to SE Asia and the Commies. First hand experience means so much more than hippie high school propaganda. They love this country and fly the American flag…they have much to teach our spoiled rotten population.
VERY true.
In the face of the vast majority of the Entertainment media Complex, they stand as exceptions rather than the rule. And there aren't any picture of Gary Sinise in this article either.
Nice try, Barty.
*MissQuinn*
I've heard Dietrich went the extra mile to "entertain" the troops.Yeah she was something of a slut but her heart was in the right place.
Hedy Lamarr was much more than you indicated; she was a math genius from Hungary who developed the frequency junping algorythim used by our torpedos and other directed weapons and still used today in our cell phones. She signed all rights to the US government, in grattude that we stood where others appeased. Detrich was what she was in peacetime; but in the Battle of the Bulge, she was the lady who saw the retreat, and went forward with the troops, performing frozen without coats, singing to the troops to stand and who rode in Pattons jeep to the front of the 4th Armored, and was with them into Bastogne. She not only shared being under fire with the troops, but knew the SS knew she was there and wanted her butt for other than sex.. She did have an "inappropriate relationship" with Patton, and a long term affair with BG James Gavin, who commanded the 82nd Airborne (I'm guessing Gavin was maybe a boy-toy, but not ours to judge). The were both unashamedly hollywood; and both proudly American.
Bien Hoa AB Vietnam, Dec 1964—After his fantastic show, Bob Hope and a couple members of his show made a tape recording for us to use to broadcast over our aircraft loudspeakers to remote Special Forces camps in the Delta. All of those who perform for our troops are real heroes as far as I'm concerned!
Hey… "Liberty Belles" are still important to ANY war effort. lol
*MissQuinn*
If you're looking for stars who actively entertain and support our present-day troops – look to the C&W musicians! Over 90% percent (my estimate) are conservatives, and don't hesitate to say so. Many have made multiple – unpublicized – trips to Iraq to entertain and just sit down and talk with our soldiers.
Another Minnesotan who loves the immigrants from that blasted war. Worked with some who told tales of "reeducation" camps. They tell tales of the slaughter that occured in Saigon after that fall. You couldn't be more right about our SEAsian immigrants. I love hearing the stories about how they got here. Real gumption. No wonder they buy into America.
I cant stand most country music, but you gotta hand it to those entertainers who could be raking in bucks here. but take their lives in their hands to bring some music to a lot of people who love that stuff.
No mention of legendary orchestra leader Glenn Miller who at age 38 in 1942, gave up his career, his family, his safety and his life (in 1944) to join the AAF to organize an orchestra that would go overseas just to bring a touch of home to hundreds of thousands of servicemen and women serving in the ETO. He and his plane went missing going from England to France.
Kudos, too, to bandleader Artie Shaw and his Navy orchestra; Tex Beneke and his Navy band, society pianist Eddy Duchin who served on submarine duty.
Also – to the once household name of bandleader Kay Kyser who likely logged more miles and played more FREE engagements to play for military personnel and war workers all over the United States.
My comment came off as kind of mean in retrospect.I was just going for a bit of humor.I have read about Lamarr's contribution and it was an impressive one.
What part of "flashback" do you not understand?
Wow. Franken and Griffin and Zellweger hedging their bets. Whoopee.
Give me "Lieutenant Dan" any day of the week, and twice on Sunday.
Blarcklebart, Hopey's callin', they need political cover. The teleprompter's broken.
It does help to remember what you were fighting for…
And I'll lay bets that the Wehrmacht had their hearts broken that Dietrich was sending troops to the front with a smile and a GREAT memory while his housefrau spent the last few days he was home cleaning the place…
Humphrey Bogart enlisted in the US Navy during WWI.
I knew you were doing the humor, I really wasn't trying to be critical either. Actually, Gavin later in life responded to a question about the Dietrich affair saying he knew it was bad judgement "..but damn, she was one hell of a wild date.."
One of the more awesome contribution from Hollywood should also include "The Ghost Army" or the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops, conceived by Douglas Fairbanks Jr. as a part of an overall "deception operation", many of those who served were recruited from the technical service section of the film industry, like set painters, artists, costume designers, etc. Bill Blass also served in this unit. The information on this unit was declassified around '96 or so.
They are in the process of filming a documentary. http://www.ghostarmy.org/
