Hollwood Movie Stars?

Question

I just finished read a book that mentions James Stewerts, role as a pilot in WII I know Carry Grant flew in the european war, is there a book which tells us of other Movies stars who served.

I also read the Andy Rooney went in on D-day is this the same Andy Rooney from Sixty Mineuts

Answer 1

I read somewhere that Charles Durning, who also served in WWII, won't do any war related movies.

www.imdb.com has some interesting trivia about his service including this...

Survived the bloody D-Day assault on Omaha Beach on June 6, 1944. Took him 50 years to talk about his experiences of that day.

Answer 2

James Arness of Gunsmke fame served in the military in WWII. He was shot in the leg and laid wounded in the mud for a couple of days I believe. This is why he walks with a slight limp on Gunsmoke. You can tell in each episode if he was in more or less pain that day by the amount of limping he does.

Answer 3
