MORMON LEGENDS OF HOLLYWOOD

Before I finish off this week, I thought I would pick an interesting minority to cover. So I decided to end with some of the Mormon actors of Hollywood. The most interesting is Dean Jagger who originally played Brigham Young in the film "Brigham Young" (1940). After this film he continued to play in other big pictures. You may recognize him most in "White Christmas" (1954) as General Waverly. It wasn't until 1972 that he converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints.

Here he is, along with some of the others Mormons of early Hollywood.
