It's one of those articles that could have been written without actually talking to the subject. There are only a few brief quotes from Bob. But, it is an interesting read. This is the September, 1941 issue of Modern Screen.
(If the photo far below of Bob and Irene Dunne looks familiar, check out the September 21st post, the last clipping. Sister photos ... I made that discovery tonight while working with the post. And I thought the other photo was taken, oh, 1946 or 47. Just slightly off!)

Interesting read! I think that's the happiest I've ever seen Betty in a photo
Interesting read, thank you for posting! I know it has come up already but it is too bad he did not write his memoirs.
And what a nightmare to not know if your kids are alive, yikes
Allison ... It's a great loss that he did not write his memoirs. It was a full life, and all of it interesting. All that knowledge of the inner workings of the studio system, TV in the early years, his war experience, his political activities, his travels, particularly in the 1950s and 1960s.....Aarrgh! And if Jr. hadn't died before he could finish his book about his Dad. Drats!
Carrie ... Yes, good point. The lady just does not come across as a mirthful soul. It seems she took a long time to master a public smile for the camera. Bob, on the other hand ...
