Birthday boy Joel McCrea in a 1934 portrait by Ernest Bachrach “That era provided a profusion of wonderful actors and actresses to admire—and not always the ones remembered by posterity. Take Joel McCrea, for instance, a real cowboy and a good actor who could excel in westerns like Union Pacific or The Virginian, but who was also wonderful in comedies like The Palm Beach Story for Preston Sturges—and comedy is the hardest thing an actor can do.”

Thanks for the wonderful pix of Joel McCrea, Joe. He is one my my favorites. I enjoy him in comedy (still love "The More The Merrier") and anything when he's on horseback. By any a pound I've ever read, he was a real cowboy at heart and a very fine man all around.

I did not know this Joe and they were married from 1929 to 1962 - for 33 years! ... I was surprised to see him marrying the "Bride of Frankenstein"

Wouldn't you have loved to have been privy to that tête-à-tête?
