Bob Beck | @ Congratulations, Francesca, on your wonderful Icons Radio interview on Sunday. It was so informative, and a treat to listen. I just had the pleasure this morning of hanging on my wall a superb still life of apples painted by Edward G. Robinson. A good week! 15 July 2008 - St. Louis Berta | @ Bueno Francesca, me alegra encontrar algo de Edward G. Robinson. La tenía perdida la pista desde hace muchos años. ¿Podría decirme cuando murio? ¿Sabe que tiene usted un apellido muy español? 15 July 2008 - España Penny Siegel | @ Francesca, that is the whole message. Francis Schwartz had 2 sisters: Rose and Sarah. Their mother and Edward G.'s mother were sisters. 26 June 2008 - Yonkers, NY Bob Beck | @ To Denis Price of East Yorkshire, England: Taking the liberty of responding to your inquiry, Mr. Robinson was proud to be the first American film celebrity to come to Europe after the D-Day invasion of Normandy Beach June 6, 1944. The major contribution he made, in addition to building troop morale by visiting the soldiers, was to broadcast Allied propaganda in several languages. I am not sure of the geographical logistics but am assuming this was all done from London. I recommend his autobiography, ALL MY YESTERDAYS, to enlighten you further, in his words, about those times. 21 June 2008 - St. Louis, Missouri denis price | @ In WW2 what was your grandfather's role in England? I recently met a man who as a schoolboy says he met him visiting Howden Church in Yorkshire, England about 1944. He was with other uniformed Americans and after being shown around the church left a magnificent tip. His name was mentioned in the Parish record book. 21 June 2008 - Beverley, East Yorkshire, England. [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 71 ] [Next] - -
