Richard Todd as Major John Howard at "Pegasus Bridge" in The Longest Day. ( Todd was actually "there" on D-Day with the British Airborne boys)

He was actually asked to play himself in the film but said he didn't do anything out of the ordinary during the landings!!

I don't know if I have missed it ?? but who played Morgan in Memphis Belle ??

 

Nobody. It wasn't a character thing...it was a generic crew.

It's been mentioned to me that there are no "military women" from the movies featured here. Good point. I can't bring one to mind but if anyone out there can....?
