Hollywood Went to War

Forty-eighth in our series Hollywood Went to War, is the recently departed actor George Kennedy, whose career stretched for over half a century and too many memorable roles to mention.

Kennedy made his stage debut at the age of two, later becoming a radio performer. Kennedy put aside show business during World War II and served in the United States Army for sixteen years, having seen combat and working in Armed Forces radio. He was involved with the opening of the first Army Information Office, which provided technical assistance to films and television shows, like the Phil Silvers Show

Mr. Kennedy: we salute you and thank you or your service to our country. Rest in peace.
