White Christmas - Rosemary Clooney, Danny Kaye, Bing Crosby
Rosemary Clooney starred alongside Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye and Vera-Ellen in White Christmas in 1954. It was the first film to be shot in Paramount's VistaVision process with color by Technicolor. The film boasted more than 15 songs.
Lucky for Danny Kaye, Donald O'Connor became sick and was unable to shoot the film after Fred Astaire declined the project.
Even though Vera-Ellen's character Ellen played the younger sister to Betty (Rosie Clooney), Rosemary Clooney was 7 years younger.
The film took in $12 million dollars in 1954. Tickets were approximately 25¢ for children under 12 and 50¢ for over 12 & adults.

Bing Crosby Laid Back
Bing Crosby in an iconic pose - lying on the grass, pipe in mouth, and petting his dog.
Some attribute Bing's laid back attitude to smoking marijuana, which he admitted to when it was legal early in his career. In the 1960's and 1970's, he told interviewers that he supported the decriminalization of marijuana.
Whatever the reason, Bing Crosby always portrayed the image of an easy going man and this was amplified by his easy and soothing singing.

Bing Crosby
Bing Crosby, the most wonderful crooner of all time, with his signature pipe. Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without hearing "White Christmas" sung by Bing.
He was born Harry Lillis Crosby in May of 1903 (the same month and year as Bob Hope)in Tacoma Washington - certainly Tacoma's most famous son! Seeing Al Jolson on stage in Spokane when Bing was just 14 inspired him to become a performer. When he was 23, Paul Whiteman hired him as a boy singer . . . and the rest is history.
He starred in movies, radio, and television. When I was a child (and into early adulthood), Bing's Christmas show on tv (which included his family) was the highlight of the season.
Bing also started the "Crosby Clambake", a golf tournament at Pebble Beach, in 1937. He was an avid golfer and he died in 1977 after playing a round of golf in Spain.

Bing Crosby and Bob Hope partnered many times over their careers, probably most notably in the "Road" movies with Dorothy Lamour. (There were seven Road movies, such as Road to Zanzibar and Road to Morocco.) They also appeared together on stage, radio, and television.
Here, they are doing a 1945 radio appearance for NBC - it looks like they're fooling around as they always did!

Dad was one of nine children born to Maine logger Frank William Crosby and his wife, Helen Ruth Lee. He left Maine for employment in industrial CT before WWII and married Eunice Pasco, "the landlady's daughter" in 1942. As an American soldier in Italy during World War II, Dad was one of only eleven men in his group to survive the disastrous landing at Anzio Beach, and for his heroism was flown home for a "second honeymoon" at Lake Placid, NY. Don is survived by his daughters Catherine and Elizabeth and many grandchildren and a great-grandchild. His son Ricky died in 1954 from polio and his son Robert was killed in a bicycling accident in 2000. A charming man, a war hero who led a troubled life, may he rest in peace with his sons at his side. --Elizabeth Lee Crosby Simpson

During The Civil War a man refused to go and fight. He hid in the swamps of South Carolina, near Charleston, in a little town called Smoaks. He hired two black women to cook and clean for him. He built a house and lived his life there until he died. In his will he left his house and property to the women who, later, sold it to my grandfather, Daniel Moses Crosby.No one ever knew the name of the "deserter".
