Babs being adorable in Hollywood Canteen (1944) directed by Delmer Daves. As far as I know this film is in the public domain, otherwise all rights reserved to Warner Bros. I also did not realize until after I uploaded this that the scene was already up on youtube, as last I checked it was not. Sorry about that. I suppose I'll leave it up for now.

Others joined the armed forces including Clark Gable, Jimmy Stewart, Marlene Dietrich and Leslie Howard. Dietrich won the highest honor out of the stars when awarded the Medal of Freedom. Whether it was fighting, selling photos and autogrpahs for war bonds, singing, telling jokes, cooking, cleaning or dancing, the stars did their bit to put a Hollywood smile on the troops faces. Stars in this vid include maureen o'hara, hedy lamarr, merle oberon, bob hope, bing crosby, cary grant, james stewart, clark gable, carole lombard, marlene dietrich, john garfield, rita hayworth, betty grable, bette davis, judy garland and mickey rooney.

Among his memorable films are: 3:10 to Yuma, Dark Passage, Destination Tokyo, The Hanging Tree, Jubal, The Red House, Broken Arrow, etc. This Sunday, July 29, at 8 pm EST, Michael Daves appears on ICONS Radio Hour to discuss his father's fascinating career. Michael Daves is himself a Hollywood vet, having worked as assistant director on such films as Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf , In Harm's Way, Goin' South, etc. And as only an insider can, he offers a richly illuminating analysis of his father's career, especially the remarkable westerns he directed in the late fifties.
