Heroes in a Box: Hollywood Heroes

When confronted with this exercise I had trouble Deciding what topic to research. So I aimlessly went to yahoo and saw on their headline had a Hollywood star on it. I then decided to do my topic on Hollywood Heroes. The first thing I did was google search this topic. And the first things that came up were Hollywood war heroes. Through all my searching I found that that was consistently coming up in all my searches. So I designated that as my first category. So I decided to further study this topics.

War Heroes of Hollywood

"In contrast to the ideals, opinions and feelings of today's "Hollywood" the real actors of yesterday loved the United States.They had both class and integrity.With the advent of World War many of our actors went to fight rather than stand and rant against this country we all love.They gave up their wealth, position and fame to become service men & women,many as simple enlisted men". Joey the Paesano.

"With the founding of the Hollywood Anti-Nazi League in 1936, the Hollywood community politicized itself in advance of the government, a stance strengthened by the nearly complete elimination of the German market for its films." Amanda Howell

Conclusion

It was important propaganda that they served their country and it helped influence many young men to sign up. It essentially got the American war machine going.
