Stars in the Corps
March 25, 2003 The following listed movie celebrities served in the Marine Corps at one time or another. This information is extracted from a book I recently purchased titled "Stars in the Corps". The authors are James E. Wise, Jr, and Anne Collier Rehill. It is published by the Naval Institute Press (www.usni.org). I thought you might be interested in seeing just which of the Hollywood celebrities did serve in the Corps. Larry Bevil, webmaster Here's the list of the Marines addressed in the book: Don Adams Sterling Hayden Felton Perry Paul Benedict Louis Hayward Lee Powell Harry Blyden George Roy Hill Tyrone Power Hugh Brannum Bob Keeshan Hari Rhodes Bob Burns Harvey Keitel John Russell Drew Carey Brian Keith Robert Ryan Philip Carey John Kellogg Richard Schall Macdonald Carey Don Lauria George C. Scott Barry Corbin Harvey Lembeck Raymond Serra Bob Crosby Bill Lundigan Bo Svenson Patrick Curtis Jock Mahoney Tad Van Brun Brian Dennehy Lee Marvin Ralph Waite Bradford Dillman Tim Matheson Dennis Waters Dale Dye Ed McMahon Robert Webber R. Lee Ermey Steve McQueen James Whitmore Mike Farrell John Miljan Larry Wilcox Pat Flaherty Michael Murphy Jonathan Winters Glenn Ford Warren Oates Burt Young Clu Galager Hugh O'Brian Christopher George Gerald O'Loughlin Scott Glenn Peter J. Ortiz Gene Hackman Pat Paulsen Lloyd Haynes George Peppard
It should also be noted that John Wayne wanted to join the Marine Corps but was unable to because of his football injuries.
