Thanks for the great research-—back then even some of the movie moguls were said to be conservatives-—or, at least, knew it was advantageous to “pretend” to be conservative.
In the early 1960s, beauteous Jeanne Crain (mother of
seven) was one of many conservative actors who spent their
time fervently fighting for the Republican cause. Others
included James Stewart, Walter Pidgeon, Jerry Lewis,
Wendell Corey, and Troy Donahue.
