Michael Rennie-of The day the earth stood still fame
Just curious as to how much graphic modification is necessary to lead the algorithm off into a wild goose chase, if that is possible.
Pretty much takes the fun out of this kind of thing doesn't it? It's bad enough that people can utilize their uber search engine skills to identify people they've never even heard of.
Michael Rennie enlisted in the RAF Volunteer Reserve on 27 May 1941 (#1391153). He was discharged for commission on 4 August 1942 and, the following day, was commissioned "for the emergency" as Pilot Officer (#127347) on probation in the General Duties Branch of the RAFVR. On 5 February 1943, he was promoted to Flying Officer on probation. He resigned his commission on 1 May 1944 (not invalided out, as studio publicity stated).Rennie carried out his basic training near Torquay, in Devon, after which he was posted to the United States, where he served in Macon, Georgia, purportedly as a flying instructor—although no record of his holding such rank could be confirmed in the RAF's archives. A story Rennie told to an interviewer, which was subsequently recounted in a number of his film-magazine biographies, concerned his period with the U.S. military. While stationed in Macon, he was asked by some of the American flyers what he did for a living. Upon hearing his response that in civilian life he was an actor and had appeared in a few films, they laughed disbelievingly. That evening, with free time on their hands, the group decided to go into town to see a movie. The film they picked, Ships with Wings (released in the UK in January and in the U.S. in May 1942), featured the tenth-billed Rennie in a few brief but prominent scenes as an RAF Flight Lieutenant. The Americans were astonished to discover that their British flying instructor was really as he described himself.
Apparently Klaatu didn't only fly spacecraft.
