"Nova Scotia’s Harold Russell is the only person to win two Oscars for the same role. The movie was, The Best Years of Our Lives.
Harold John Russell was born in North Sydney, Nova Scotia, in 1914. After his father died in 1919, Harold’s family moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts, where his mother trained to be a nurse. Intending to found a hospital in Cape Breton, she planned to return to Canada with her three sons once qualified. In the end, however, the family remained in the United States.

When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbour on December 7, 1941, Harold Russell immediately enlisted in the U.S. war effort. Russell became a paratrooper and a demolition school instructor. It was during an exercise that an explosive blew up in his hands. He spent weeks in a hospital. The army was in the process of commissioning an instructional film, Diary of a Sergeant, to inspire amputees to overcome their disabilities and picked Russell. Film director William Wyler saw a screening of Diary of a Sergeant. As the young director watched the fresh-faced Sergeant Russell cheerfully negotiate day-to-day tasks with his hooks, he was struck with an idea. They had trouble casting for the movie, The Best Years of Our Lives, and when Samuel Goldwyn saw Russell in the training film, he immediately cast him for the role. The movie also starred Fredric March and Myrna Loy."


Got this from a group online. The picture didn't come through but was of a smiling Russell clutching two Oscars in his 'hooks'.

You reckon he got his kicks using 'merica as a slur?

Doubt it. After living the horror of a life in Nova Scotia he loved his
new home in America so much he joind the Army and fought for his
country. How many Nova Skotiacans do that?

Only the very smart ones.



hey Justine and JohnnyMop.....
Nova Scotia may be no country for gitliemen...especially 'merican ones but we do have our charm.
This could be the best 3 minutes you've ever spent.....

Nova Scotia certainly has it's charms, especially Cape Breton Island,
the Bras D'or Lakes, the Eastern Islands, St Margarets Bay, Mahone
Bay, Chester, Lunenburg, etc. We visited all of them this summer on
our boat. Hopefully you're getting out and about on your new boat and
visiting some of these places. It's a lot more interesting than
insulting people you don't know on the internet.

He didn't just 'say', he 'did'!

You'd better go back and read Wayne's comment to me and Harry's and my response.
Y'all are reaching pretty far to instigate. I think y'all need a new hobby....such as bowling.

Maybe duckpins. I don't think he could lift a 10-pin ball without
breaking one of his brittle bones.

Are duckpins anything like candlepins?
The small lighter balls would be right up The John's alley.
