5/19/2023 0 Comments Earth's Last War by Glenn Van DykeI suppose that I never completely gave up my childhood idea of being a minister. Van Dyke’s mother’s family was very religious, and briefly considered a career in ministry while he was growing up, although a drama class in high school convinced him that his true calling was as a professional entertainer. In his autobiography he wrote: Among his high school classmates in Danville were Donald O’Connor and Bobby Short, both of whom became successful entertainers in their own right. One of Van Dyke’s closest friends was the cousin of Gene Hackman, a future Oscar-winning actor, who also lived in Danville in those years.
