Robert Mitchum American Actor

From May 1959 through June 1966, the iconic tough guy actor Robert Mitchum, along with his family, lived on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. In a 1960 article from Baltimore’s Evening Sun newspaper, Mitchum is quoted as saying, “Maryland isn’t as remote (as other places they’d considered moving to in an effort to get away from Hollywood). I can fly anywhere at no time at all. But when I’m there it’s like being in a different world. My unsocial nature is well known. In Maryland I can be as unsocial as I want and nobody gives a damn.”
