Hollywood Victory Committee

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hollywood Victory Committee was an organization founded on December 10, 1941 during World War II to provide a means so that television and radio performers that were not in military service could contribute to the war effort through bond drives and improving morale for troops. It was associated with the Screen Actors Guild. The Committee organized events between January 1942 until August 1945. Chairmen of the committee included Clark Gable, James Cagney, and George Murphy.
