The death has been announced of the actor and former husband of Shirley Temple. Born in 1921, he met her while still in the Air Force and was married in 1946. They were divorced in 1949. He starred in such films as "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon" (1949),"The Sands of Iwo Jima" (1950),"Cishum" (1970) and "Big Jake" (1971)with John Wayne.Although during part of his life he suffered from alcoholism, he managed to conquer it and later had minor roles in such films as "King Kong" (1976) and "Miracle Mile" (1989). Never a major star, his performances were always enjoyable and I trust that he has joined that great band of actors and entertainers who have passed on this year.
