John Garfield, American actor, at the onset of World War II, Garfield immediately attempted to enlist in the armed forces, but was turned down because of his heart condition. Frustrated, he turned his energies to supporting the war effort. He and actress Bette Davis were the driving forces behind the opening of the Hollywood Canteen, a club offering food and entertainment for American servicemen. He later traveled to Yugoslavia to help entertain for the war effort. Was accused of being a communist, died of a heart-attack from the stress, he died on this day in 1952
Death is Like Taxes
We all pay the price some day
Lest All Rest In Peace
