HOLLYWOOD STARS WHO WERE IN THE MILITARY OR WERE WAR HEROES

Burt Lancaster: Performed As An Army Entertainer

A guy who lived a street life in East Harlem while growing up might have never dreamed of becoming a Hollywood star. Being an athlete since his school days, Lancaster began his career through performing acts in a circus and what happened next was something that became the connecting dot towards a celebrity world.

He joined the army in 1942 and served as an entertainer to keep up the military troops’ morale. For Lancaster, that was the time when he developed a stage interest and luckily, soon after returning from service, he got a chance in Broadway which eventually landed him a place in the film industry.
