I ran across an article in a 1929 trade magazine that described the young Robert Montgomery as being a spitting image of Charles Lindbergh. I thought, "Really?" Okay, they were both tall and quite slim in their youth, but... Anyway, I dug out a few photos of the young Lindbergh to compare them with Bob. Well, darn it, I think they were right after all. Quick ... which of the following seven photos are Bob and which are Lindbergh?

Okay, 1, 3, 4, 5 & 7 are Lindy. 2 & 6 are Bob. Bob was MUCH better looking! Just sayin...
But I always put Jimmy Stewart and Lindy together... ;)
Okay, okay ... Lindy wasn't exactly Bob's doppelganger, certainly not without the helmets. But IMO there's a touch of Bob there, particularly No. 3. Bob just had a unique face, the mold was used once and broken. And, Carrie, I certainly did not mean to imply that Jimmy and Lindy weren't the perfect couple ...
Boy there is more of a resemblance than I had thought!
