He was very versatile, appearing in movies such as The Palm Beach Story and Sullivan's Travels as well as Hitchcock's Foreign Correspondent.Yeah, jerry, that's Joel McCrea. I have to admit that his name and face stayed under my radar, somehow. My loss.
"In his hey-day, many of his contemporaries, notably Katharine Hepburn and Bette Davis, felt the industry sorely underestimated his talent. He was also overly modest about his own abilities. Late in life, McCrea admitted: “I have no regrets, except perhaps one: I should have tried harder to be a better actor.” (Link)
Represented something uniquely American imho.

Al (Fuzzy) St. John appeared as the comical sidekick supporting a fairly large number of cowboy heroes (most notably Buster Crabbe and Lash LaRue) from the early 1930s up to the end of the 1940s. Before that he had been a top-rank silent movie comedian. Kids who saw him in the late 1940s loved him INSTANTLY, but only us older adults can finally appreciate how much talent he had.
I had to do a Google search today on Roy Jr. (Dusty) when I saw your video .... he is still married to the small town girl that I used to babysit for back in the 50's ...awwwww
.. good for them!

The Man Behind The Cowboy: 23 Little-Known Facts About John Wayne (LINK)
He Was In Star Wars
"Not many people know that John Wayne had actually turned up in the original Star Wars movie. But he didn’t ride horseback into town as a space cowboy. In fact, it was only his voice that made an appearance, used for the voice of imperial spy Garindan. However, the audio was so processed and manipulated that by hearing it, one would never have been able to tell it was Wayne. In fact, the voice barely sounds human at all."
