Robert Mitchum, the former film star, was also a poet and a musician.

I've just been listening to a radio talk about Robert Mitchum, the former film star. It was extremely interesting hearing that he had been a poet from an early age and that he was also an accomplished musician. On page http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/factual/pip/ae3fm/ it says that the programme will be repeated on Saturday 30 June 2007 23:30-0:00 (Radio 4 FM) - so if you are interested, you may like to listen. You can hear him reading some poetry.
