12 MORE of the Nicest Stars of the Golden Age

You asked for more of them — the ones who were remembered not for their egos, but for their kindness. So here are twelve more of the gentlest, most generous stars of the golden age of Hollywood. These are the people who answered every fan letter by hand, who learned the names of the crew, who cried at other people's troubles and gave away far more than they ever kept. From Maureen O'Hara's fierce loyalty and Greer Garson's endless graciousness, to the quiet dignity of Irene Dunne and the courage of Myrna Loy; from the effortless warmth of David Niven, to Vincent Price — the man who played monsters and went home to a life of art and gentleness; from the tender heart of Red Skelton and the silent sweetness of Harpo Marx, to the strength and grace of Olivia de Havilland; and finally to three of the most beloved of all — Carole Lombard, Boris Karloff, and the incomparable Stan Laurel, who kept his phone number listed his whole life so that any fan could simply call, and who answered. Some of these stories are warm enough to make you smile. A few will break your heart just a little. But every one is a reminder that decency and greatness were never opposites — not even in Hollywood. Which of these good souls will you remember — and who do you think we should honor next?
