	Robinson was also one of the few, and certainly the most well-known, Hollywood star who named names for senator McCarthy.  While there may have been some legitimate targets on that list, many an innocent career was ruined.  I am not the type to defend anyone in Hollywood, but I did think the McCarthy witch hunt was way over the top.Quote:

 Given that he was born in 1893, he would have been a young smoker (everyone was) in the ATC days and into the early caramel age. It's fascinating to think of the cards he must have had!

 I do like old movies, but, if one of his is on, I find something better to do with my time.
