Hollywood stars directly and indirectly helped sell billions of dollars in war bonds and more.
Here s What You Need to Know: Along with the brave men and women overseas, the motion picture industry served admirably in their own way during World War II.
World War II came to the Hollywood motion picture studios, the “Dream Factories” as they were sometimes called, the day after Pearl Harbor.
“Hollywood became a military camp. Within a day … studio trucks and drivers were transporting army troops and equipment, studio arsenals were stripped of prop (weapons) and ammunition to fortify undersupplied posts along the West Coast …” wrote Bruce T. Torrence, in his book,
Welcome to the First Hundred Days. Thatâs when a newly inaugurated president tries to get as much stuff done as he can before the excitement wears off and the reality sets in.
The idea of a new â or reinstalled â leaderâs crucial âhundred daysâ of action actually originated in France. Napoleon I escaped from exile on the Mediterranean island of Elba in 1815 and marched back into Paris to reclaim his throne. Fourteen weeks later, his forces were defeated at Waterloo, and he abdicated for good.

What a world it must be to live in Marjorie Taylor Green’s mind. What does the political spectrum look like in her world? Does she believe she is in the centre of the political spectrum, perhaps with some actual Neo-Nazis and 6MWE-hoodie types to her right? Soft, cushy liberals and leftists like Mitch McConnell slightly to the Left? And Joe Biden, who, as I’m sure we can all agree, is the most radical Communist ever to hold public office anywhere in the world.
But now private businesses like the Marriott hotel and the Commerce Bank are also Communists. That will presumably come as a shock to them, too.
