Description

"A companion volume to the popular Stars in Blue: Movie Actors in America's Sea Services by the same authors, this book is filled with more than thirty celebrity profiles of motion picture stars who served in the U.S. Marine Corps from World War I through Vietnam. Many readers will discover for the first time the contributions to the Corps of such actors as Steve McQueen, Gene Hackman, Harvey Keitel, Brian Dennehy, Hugh O'Brian, and Ed McMahon, and the heroic actions of Marines like Sterling Hayden, Brian Keith, Dale Dye, and Lee Marvin."--BOOK JACKET. "Accompanied by some never-before-published photographs, many of these revealing profiles are based on recent interviews with the stars or their families and friends. Battle reports, unit diaries, and personnel records were consulted to authenticate the details of their military careers. Filled with little-known facts and fascinating tidbits of information, this book will delight and inform the staunchest Marine supporter and most avid movie fan."--BOOK JACKET.
