I stand corrected. The person I am referring to is Dick Powell, not William.
> Dick Powell never seemed politically incliined
He was EXTREMELY politically inclined, so much so that he was considered possibly a
Nazi-sympathizer -- but he
always worked behind the scenes, politically. That was one reason he couldn't get
good movie roles in the
1950s, even though he had turned in such excellent performances in various 'film
noires' of the late
1940s...so that is why he went into television, and was successful in developing his
own television production
company...
It was good timing, too, because his move into TV coincided with the McCarthy witch
hunts, and TV more than
welcomed someone with the 'impeccable' political credentials of Dick Powell.
> Will see if I can find out about Dick Powell - but never heard of him in
> politics
Yes, one never heard of him IN politics, but apparantly he was quite active behind the
scenes...had quite a
few 'influential friends', according to a biography of him on some show not long
ago...which makes his ability
to suddenly change Reagan's political views, after months of after-dinner political
arguments, all the more
intriguing...
