The Last Hollywood Conservative (Vanity)

Here is the topic for an attempt at serious discourse: Who Was The Last Hollywood Conservative?

Ronald Reagan: Left Hollywood for the political arena;

John Wayne: Passed away in the 70's before Reagan was elected to the Presidency, still making films up to his death;

Charlton Heston: Was still working in the 1990's before Alzheimer's took him;

Please, discuss this with me and, if you can, add to the list?

If true, that would be a big surprise to me because he so heavy into animal rights activism.

Being concerned for God's creatures, even being interested in preserving endangered species, but not at the expense of people. There's a big difference between funding animal shelters and throwing red paint-filled balloons at fur wearers.

sorry Shirley Temple not Shiley

He named his son Holden, after William Holden- the man who taught him how to shoot a gun.

Oops! Meant Patricia Heaton.

Franco Harris is definitely NOT a conservative. He is active in Democratic politics in PA.

Like I said, don’t know how accurate it is, but there are names on there that are conservatives and I know were missed on the thread.

What about Glen Ford who recently passed away?

Keifer Sutherland is from a family of big time socialists from Canada.

His grandfather was Tommy Doulglas, the founder of socialized medicine in Canada.

Mother is Shirley Doulglas, father is Donald Sutherland.

Patricia Heaton tops the list. Not only is she a cultural conservative, but she has given $1.5 million of her own money to buy 3D ultrasound machines for crisis pregnancy clinics to discourage women from having abortions. God bless her!

Out Magazine has a whole nother meaning out in Hollywood

Rick Schroeder was in a movie with Holden when he was little.

Can't remember the title, but Ricky was lost in the out back and Holden took him under his wing until they got back to civilization.

there is a pretty comprehensive list of Sillywood celebs who, if not completely conservative, lean somewhat to the right here

Daniel Baldwin demonstrates the destructive power of cocaine...

 

[dragonblustar]

Is she really? I always thought she was liberal...

Bob Hope Zombies

Anderson Cooper?

[rintense]

I think it was called The Earthling. Its the film Holden taught him how to use a gun. They remained friends until Holden died.

Those are two different Baldwins. One is Stephen, one is Daniel.

Speaking of Wayne Newton, I know he had kind of a vendetta with Johnny Carson, who had insinuated on the air that Newton was gay. According to Newton, he actually went to Carson’s office and personally confronted him on the issue, and Carson finally backed off.

You're right, my own copy-paste error...here is Daniel's "before" shot...

I hope he can find Christ and a life away from drugs.
