The Hollywood Canteen, founded by actors John Garfield and Bette Davis, was a Los Angeles haven for servicemen during World War II. Until the end of the war, the biggest stars in Hollywood entertained, fed, and jitterbugged their way into the hearts of over five million servicemen and women. Author Susan Gibberman discusses how the organization was created and its brief, but significant, three-year history.
