My Take
Cliff Robertson embodies the integrity of old Hollywood for me. He played a young JFK in PT 109 and won the 1969 Academy Award for Charly, but what earns my admiration is his backbone. He publicly exposed studio fraud and reportedly paid for it with a stretch of industry exile, choosing principle over career. That kind of spine is rare anywhere. Add a real aviation passion that landed him in the National Aviation Hall of Fame, and you have a genuinely multifaceted man. Six decades on screen, and I quietly tip my hat to his craftsmanship.
