Bizarre fact about two leading man

After watching this film tonight on TCM, I came to look up the stars here on IMDb; as I usually do. Love Carole Lombard. Wish she had lived longer. I thought Ralph Bellamy's voice sounded familiar though I had never seen him so young. Finally, it dawned on me - Randolph Duke! (Trading Places)

The bizarre/ morbid factoid I noticed was Fred MacMurray and Ralph Bellamy had both died:

- within 24 days of each other
- both dying in Santa Monica, CA
- both of lung ailments (MacMurray was listed with pneumonia).

Anyhow, its good to know they all get to live on through the magic of cinema.

Hmmm...that's pretty interesting.

I loved this movie. I'm glad TCM played it. =)

It is also good both lived to see cinema advance through the decades, and to also see their senior years!
