| Happy belated birthday to you.
I watched a documentary about a week ago, Hollywood, Propaganda and World War Two. The one thing shameful about that period was the racism Hollywood played along with. In movies and in cartoons the racism against the japanese is a black eye on American history.
Hollywood did go out of their way to entertain the troops. They had a place in L.A that was opened 24/7 to the troops. Hollywood celebrities would serve, food, entertainment and even danced with troop members. Although I can't say for certain if this was really a volunteer thing, hollywood moguls could have been pulling strings to get the performers to do all this stuff. |
