Arnold Schwarzenegger's surprise proclamation that he was seeking the Golden State Governorship brought to mind the many times Hollywood figs have got been involved in politics. Here are some related to anecdotes:
When histrions first came to Hollywood there were marks set up in presence of hotels and flats that said no domestic dogs or histrions allowed, with the performing artists ruefully complaining about not getting top billing. The insecurity of the community have come up through in political campaigns. When Ronald Ronald Ronald Reagan successfully ran for Governor of Golden State in 1966 one of the bootless tactics used by his resistance was a telecasting commercial message featuring Gene Kelley stating," In movies I played a gambler, a baseball player and I could play a Governor but you wouldn't really desire an histrion to really be a Governor would you?"
Ronald Reagan at one time was such as a Broad Democrat he drove friends to distraction with his views. One twenty-four hours in the mid-thirties he was driving a friend place from work, yammering on about President Roosevelt's New Deal policies. Ronald Reagan who was near sighted and an planetary driver at best, seemed unmindful to route conditions. "Ronnie, ticker out for that truck!" the friend yelled. Missing an accident by a hair, Ronald Ronald Reagan continued," Truck drivers, that's World Health Organization the New Deal will help!"
Like former President Reagan, Walt Walt Disney claimed to be a Franklin Roosevelt New Trader until a awful worker's work stoppage at his studio made him take a right turn. Although he campaigned heavily for Republican campaigners the sketch shaper kept friendly dealings with the other side. Walt loved giving personal tours of Disneyland, and enjoyed having former president Harry Harry Truman as his guest, even when his chap Missourian turned down a drive on Dumbo: Too much Republican symbolism.
Another mogul, Joe Louis B. Marie Goeppert Mayer the laminitis of MGM was a steadfast Republican his full life. Marie Goeppert Mayer never quite got over John Hope Franklin Franklin Roosevelt beating his good friend Victor Herbert William Hoover but accepted an invitation to ran into the Democratic President at the White Person House in 1933. Immediately upon arriving in the Ellipse Office Marie Goeppert Mayer surprised Franklin Roosevelt by pulling a clock from underneath his coat and placing it on the President's desk. "What's that for, Mr. Mayer?" "Pardon me Mr. President. I heard you have got got the ability to have a adult male in your hip pocket after 18 minutes." Brandishing his long coffin nail holder Franklin Franklin Roosevelt threw his caput back and laughed, then began chatting with the movie executive director . He was startled when after 17 proceedings the Mogul got up, grabbed the clock and left the room.
Another hard brush for the Roosevelt disposal was with Shirley Temple. Hoping to acquire people's head off the Great Depression the President was nonstop in congratulations of the moppet's movies saying that Americans should bury about their jobs by paying 15 cents to see "the smiling of a small girl". Both John Hope Franklin and Eleanor Franklin Roosevelt were so enamored they invited small Shirley and her parents to see them at their private estate in Hyde Park, New York. In the limousine Shirley received mixed messages from her Conservative parents. On the 1 manus they were thrilled to ran into the President and his wife, but they also hated their Big Government policies. Upon their reaching Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt graciously asked Shirley if she would wish something fixed on the barbecue. "Oh that would be wonderful," replied the kid star. As Eleanor walked out back, the impish Shirley took out a slingshot, checked to do certain cipher was looking at what she was doing, and nailed the First Lady in the rear. The Secret Service came running at the sound of her shout, looked around the place for possible interlopers but never thought about searching the angelic small film star, who had skillfully hidden her weapon. Dinner passed pleasantly and the Temples returned to their hotel. Only then did Gertrude Temple state her girl that she had seen her naughtiness, and Shirley got walloped.
Many Hollywood figs prefer to have got others talk for them. When Marlon Brando won the Academy Award for The Godfather (1972) he shocked the state by sending a Native American named Sacheen Littlefeather in his place, She used the international platform of winning the Oscar to blast the USA's treatment of her people( it turned out she was actually an imposter, she was actually a professional actress named Mare Cruz). There were many phone calls from the mass media for Brando to come up out and state his positions himself, but the recluse star refused. One rumour had Brando sitting alone in his brow house observation Toilet John Wayne movies backwards so the Indians would win.
