An Actor From Hollywood's Golden Age
When I was growing up in the '60s we used to spend Saturday afternoons at my Aunt Dot's house. While the grown ups visited we would high tail it to the den to watch TV. I remember watching Chiller Theater, the Earl Scheib car commercials, John Wayne and Robert Mitchum movies. My brother liked John Wayne (The Searchers is his favorite). I liked Robert Mitchum movies (Heaven Knows Mr. Allison is my favorite). We still like to watch old movies together whenever we can. It still involves much debate (and hot dogs) on who's the better actor. We're both glad there's not a Earl Schieb car commercial in sight.

Three reasons to love Robert Mitchum
Mitchum married Dorothy Spence in 1940. The marriage lasted until his death and produced three children: James, Christopher, and Petrine.
Mitchum turned down the role of General George S. Patton because he didn't think he was a good enough actor for the part. He recommended George C. Scott to the producers.
MItchum's role as the sinister Max Cady in the 1962 film Cape Fear was played by Robert DeNiro in the 1991 remake in which Mitchum also had a small role.
