But in 1941, on December 8th, after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, my mother bought a radio and we listened to the war news. We'd not had a radio up to that time. I was born in 1934, so I was seven years of age.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
From the time I was 8 years old I was on almost every radio show there was.
My dad did a radio show. I was on it when I was seven. So now you know that the showbiz bug bit me really early.
How many radio shows I did is lost to memory now; it's in the hundreds - maybe even close to being in the thousands - for the span of years from the time I was eight till I was about fifteen.
I was born in 1954. My parents were brought up in the war years, and life was hard.
I received my parents' permission and went into the Navy on June 3, 1941.
I was 20 years old at Pearl Harbor. I was in the Navy about a year and four months before the war.
When I was a kid, my dad went to World War II. I didn't know him. I was born in '41.
I was born in 1935, so I was quite young when the war started. I remember we were in Bath, and it was 1942. We went down into the cellar of our house, and when we came up, I remember seeing all the glass on the floor where all the windows had been shaken out by the bombs.
In 1918, when I was 6 or 7 years old, radio was just coming into use in the Great War.
I was four years old when Pearl Harbor was bombed on December 7, 1941 by Japan, and overnight, the world was plunged into a world war. America suddenly was swept up by hysteria.
