Macao, 1952 (dir. Josef von Sternberg)

Mitchum. Thunder Road.

Robert Mitchum projected a “don’t give a damn” attitude that was enhanced by a sleepy-eyed look, the result of a chronic insomnia and a boxing injury.  The self-effacing Mitchum claimed that he became successful in Hollywood because Hollywood was searching for ugly leading men, thanks to Humphrey Bogart.  He complained that he kept making the same movie over and over again, the only difference being that “they just keep putting a different dame opposite me.”  Pictured here with his two sons, James and Christopher at home, Mitchum was the first star to go to prison for marijuana possession.  He survived his reputation as a “bad boy” and many bad scripts, going on to enjoy a large, Bogart-like following.
