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?
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
(5)
(6)
(7)
Okay, 1, 3, 4, 5 & 7 are Lindy. 2 & 6 are Bob. Bob was MUCH better looking! Just sayin...
ReplyDeleteBut I always put Jimmy Stewart and Lindy together... ;)
ReplyDeleteOkay, 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 ...
ReplyDeleteBoy there is more of a resemblance than I had thought!
