Style Icon: Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.

Thanks fellas.

He may have been stylish, but I can't forget when watching him that he was a friendly witness and willingly named names to the House Committee on Un-American Activities.

I didn't know that about Adolphe Menjou. I really appreciate the post. That makes me view him in an entirely different light

I always find it very interesting to get some insight on public figures (in this case, actors) regarding what they were like as people, what drives them and a sense of their moral character behind their public face by way of how they react or respond to world events. Ex/Marlene Dietrich, Peter Lorre, Conrad Veidt & Fritz Lang's intense drive to speak out against what happened to their homeland. I was similarly let down by the likes of Emil Jannings and Paul Wegener. Such is life.

During the rather short marriage Fairbanks and Crawford made quite a stylish team

Joan Crawford was a serious horndog. Lord, there are stories.

BTW, Binkie.

It's Manhattan.

Joan Crawford was a serious horndog.

Hope that Joan got enough before she became seriously scary-looking.

She probably had a stable of young studs to take her out to the Sunset Strip, the Opera, boating in Catalina and such. Everyone seems to have a price regardless of looks.
