Troopy I loved Audie Murphy, used to go to the pictures just to see his latest western and I don't even like westerns much ( I was only a young impressionable girl ) but he was a real WW2 hero, got the purple heart if I remember rightly and then they turned him into a screen idol.........also died quite young I think.

 He got a bit more than a Purple Heart.He was a highly decorated soldier

Audie Leon Murphy (June 20, 1924 May 28, 1971) was a highly decorated and famous soldier. Through LIFE magazine's July 16, 1945 issue ("Most Decorated Soldier"/cover photo), he became one the most famous soldiers of World War II and widely regarded as the most decorated American soldier of the war. After the war he became a celebrated movie star for over two decades, appearing in 44 films.[2] He later had some success as a country music composer.

During twenty-seven months in action in the European Theatre[3] he received the Medal of Honor, the U.S. military's highest award for valor, along with 32 additional U.S. and foreign awards (medals, ribbons, citations, badges...)[3][4] including five awards from France and one from Belgium.[1][5]

Murphy's successful movie career included To Hell and Back (1955), based on his book of the same title (1949).[3][6] He died in a plane crash in 1971 and was interred, with full military honors, in Arlington National Cemetery

He was a boyhood hero of mine

Love all your choices Barina. I'd also add Troy Donahue and Sandra Dee.

Audie Murphy, Doris Day, Lauren Bacall, Michael Caine...I could go on and on...

But my all time favourite is not so old, Kurt Russell.

 Hi Beth,

Do you remember Kurt Russell in his first TV show as a boy? The Travels of Jamie McPheeter. Also starred Dan O'Herlihy as his father.
