These are all quite wonderful. Thanks for posting them!

The George Brent story was interesting, never knew he participated in the Troubles in Ireland. It's also amusing to read the Esther Williams story, where her marriage with Ben Gage is given a lot of attention. They separated in 1952 and "In her autobiography, she portrayed Gage as an alcoholic parasite who squandered $10 million of her earnings." Not going to read that in a comic book!
