Given that he was born in 1893, he would have been a young smoker (everyone was) in the ATC days and into the early caramel age. It's fascinating to think of the cards he must have had!

Robinson was also one of the few, and certainly the most well-known, Hollywood star who named names for senator McCarthy. While there may have been some legitimate targets on that list, many an innocent career was ruined. I am not the type to defend anyone in Hollywood, but I did think the McCarthy witch hunt was way over the top.
I do like old movies, but, if one of his is on, I find something better to do with my time.
