Wow. The last post I put up about Julia Child and Sterling Hayden working for the OSS got my ires up and I dug around this here old bucket of tubes for some more information on one of my favorite character actors of the last half of the twentieth century. Turns out Sterling Hayden was more interesting than Jack D. Ripper or even Roger Wade for that matter.

A veteran, spy, gun runner, alcoholic, pot fiend, actor, best selling novelist, seaman and philosopher, Sterling Hayden wrote the fucking book on what it means to be alive in this world; uncompromising and restless. I only wish he was still stomping around our little planet sos I might have had a chance to knock a glass or two with the guy.

God bless you Sterling Hayden!
