Two soldiers, William North and Ben Walker, were to von Steuben's liking. He legally adopted both men, and they lived together until the general's death, at which time they shared in his estate.  Roddy McDowall1928 - RODDY McDOWALL, English actor born (d. 1998) McDowall made his first major film appearance at age twelve (though he had previously appeared in several British films), after he and his family came to America because of The Blitz. He played as "Huw" in How Green Was My Valley (1941) that he made his name, and he appeared in other films as a child actor, including The White Cliffs of Dover (1944) and Lassie Come Home (1943) where he co-starred (on the first of many occasions) opposite lifelong friend Elizabeth Taylor. He appeared frequently on Hollywood Squares, and occasionally came up with funny quips himself. For example: In Shakespeare's Hamlet, what does Queen Gertrude get that was meant for her famous son? McDOWALL: A dozen roses and a box of candy.

White Crane is one of the last brave standouts in this bland new world... a triumph over the looming mediocrity of the mainstream Gay world." - Mark Thompson Exploring Gay Wisdom & Culture since 1989! |8|O|8|O|8|O|8|O|8|O|8|O|8|O|8| | ||||
