Erik, It's surprising that we chose the same images.

Rosalind Russell with the well-respected and talented actress, Barbara Stanwyck. There is a soldier in between them as they chat who doesn’t seem to know what to do with himself. I think this photograph is a treasure!

I hate feeling old. I loved watching Tommy on so many Disney Channel repeats in the 80s. He and Dean Jones were a standard of excellence for a 12 year old me.

Thanks for telling me that this picture of them at the Brown Derby back in 1944. - I had to improvise of the title of my original post to Hollywood Function - because these two actresses attended a lot of them during their Hollywood Careers.

I just loved that Gilbert Roland Picture too ... he's one of those rare actors looks fabulous with a mustache!

Never would have recognized Tommy Kirk in a million years (still recall if just yesterday my dad taking me to the Lyceum to see VILLAGE OF THE GIANTS). Reckon the sad truth is that - yes . . . we do all get older.

But God bless. And Lomm, you're spot right on the mark.

Enjoyed the photos and comments from all on Tommy Kirk. Being a few years older, I remember him fondly from my childhood, all the way back to "The Hardy Boys." That means I can also fondly remember TOMMY TETTIG in his original performances, including that wonderful Dr. Seuss film, The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T, which was many years ahead of its time.

(Surprised nobody else commented on the typo.)
