Like Debra I have so many favorite classic actors. Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Katherine Hepburn, Jimmy Stewart, Humphrey Bogart, James Cagney,Ethel Barrymore, Henry Fonda, just to name a few, oh and I liked Doris Day also.
As far as their ties and or political asperations, well I just don't know about that. Being as I was born in 1950, so many of the movies that were made by these actors were before I was born, or at the very least when I was a child and not frequenting movie theaters. I came to know their movies years later when they were shown on TV.
I am sure the causes they stood for, or the troubles they may have had during their careers where written about in newspapers, but in our house (in the 50's) the newspaper was considered adult reading and not for a child's eyes. Current events was something that was discussed only after the child was out of ear shot. It was kind of a "children should be seen but not heard" household. I don't think that was meant to be mean or cruel, I think it was their way of protecting us from the cold cruel world and to preserve our innocence as long as possible. Children need to be children first, and should not be expected to be or treated as tiny adults.
