This gentleman was a star of the Thirties and Forties rather than a supporting actor.
Leaning on his aircraft is Wallace Beery, who would go to 5,000 feet, hand over to a co-pilot and take a nap while going round and round.
The film colony then boasted other pilots, namely Paul Lucas, Douglas Fairbanks, Ben Lyon, Robert Montgomery and Western star Ken Maynard, the first licensed pilot on the studio lots. In all, he possessed seven planes.
Robert Cummings had a car that served as a plane as well.
