When I was young people said I looked like Patrick Swayze, then in middle age Robin Williams. I was OK with either, but then a few years ago someone told me I look like Steve Martin, that offended me, he's an old guy!

I have a second cousin who I think resembles Prince William.

Both pictures are of John Denver. He's an amazing likeness of himself.

Thread Hijacking: In the Sands Of Iwo Jima, Martin Milner played a young marine, what was the book in his pocket?
Back to your normal thread. Thank you for the interruption.

Martin Milner did not have a book with him in the film "Sands of Iwo Jima". The film does not feature any specific book that a character like Milner's character would be carrying.

Yes he did. I don't recall his character's name, but he was always reading. During the landing he was killed on the beach, the camera zooms in to the book in his pocket "Their Hearts Were Young and Gay" was the title.

President Abraham Lincoln and actor & screenwriter Michael Norrell. Norrell was perhaps best known for playing Captain Stanley on the TV medical drama "Emergency!"

Some of these folks are doppelgängers.
It would’ve been interesting back in their days if DNA existed.
I’ll just bet some of these look-alikes may have been related after all……

This is a photo of the same man.
In an article related to this image it says:
"The photo of Erik van Trommel from The Hague (known from Ernst, Bobbie and the rest) was accidentally shown on Saturday evening with the obituary of Rob Fruithof"

Also, according to Amazon, this book was first published in 1975. Could you have meant this title instead - published in 1944?

I have no idea if it was a real book, but it fits with the whole theme of youngsters going to war and not coming back.Something of an odd title for a US Marine to be reading....

Oh you're right.
This is Rob Fruithof.
And this is Erik van Trommel around the same age.

According to an AI search assistant, the book in question was this one:
The other book was published in 1975, over 25 years after Sands of Iwo Jima was made.
