built 642 days ago
RICHARD CRENNA: The Caribou has plowed into the soft earth. Another inch, and the propellers would have smashed into the ground. Disaster had been narrowly averted. Darryl puts the bulldozer to work on the B-29, immediately proving its worth. The Kee Bird is back on dry land for the first time in half a century.

Unlike many others in the Hollywood community, there was a gentleness of sorts to Crenna, as he did not revolve his life from one Hollywood party to another. For him it seemed that being an actor was a career in much the same way another would be a banker or police officer or attorney or physician. While it was obvious he enjoyed his work, it did not seem the focus of his life, but rather, his wife and three adult children were.
