TRIVIA---June 4, 2023 was the 81st anniversary of the Battle of Midway in which the US Navy's defeat of the Japanese Navy turned the tide of World War II in the Pacific Theater.
The 1976 movie MIDWAY starred Charlton Heston, Henry Fonda, Hal Holbrook and Glenn Ford. Two actors who played Marines defending Midway were Larry Pennell as Capt. Cyril Simard and Tom Selleck as Simard's aide. Six years later when Selleck had achieved stardom on MAGNUM, P.I., Selleck and Pennell reunited for the episode "Double Jeopardy" in which Thomas Magnum investigated who tried to murder movie star Jack Martin, who was played by Pennell.
