Is Horace McNally the next Big Thing?

"There's a newcomer at M-G-M who's said to look like a combination Clark Gable and Cary Grant, but not like Taylor. His name is Horace McNally. But what we'd like to know is, is he good" (Film Fun, 1941)

Stephen "Horace" McNally (July 29, 1913 - June 4, 1994) gave a a career as an attorney to become a B player. Horace is probably best known for his role as Locky, the man who rapes Jane Wyman's character in Johnny Belinda. Horace was active as an actor from 1942 until 1980. Some of his better known films include: Johnny Belinda, Winchester 73, Now Way Out, Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo, and The Harvey Girls.

On the personal side, he married Rita Winrich in 1941 and stayed married his entire life. They had a whopping (by today's standards) 8 children. As one of ten, this is normal to me :)

What 100 Stars Want in 1956 - Richard Egan

Richard Egan (July 29, 1921 - July 20, 1987) was known as a serious actor who helped a lot of actors get their breaks. I have only seen one film Richard was in, Pollyanna, but he won the 1954 Golden Globe for Most Promising Newcomer. I hope it is from a 1953 film he was in and not the illustrious GOG: Frankenstein of Steel! (Which looks so totally cheestastic that I have to find a way to watch it).

Here are Richard's 1956 Wishes:

1. "Personally, I hope to vacation outside of Hollywood and California at least twice a year to get a fresh perspective on the world and on myself". - I think everyone could use a change of pace every once in a while.

2. "I think this could apply as an actor, too".

3. "As a citizen, I want to do my share to help build a good world in any way I can".
