War and Remembrance Mini-Series Cast


Mini-Series Description:

The War And Remembrance miniseries had an "all-star" cast headed by veteran actor Robert Mitchum. It was a drama of World War II events and was the continuation and "spinoff miniseries" of the "Winds of War Miniseries" which was about the build-up to the war. The fictional characters' lives are intertwined with real historical figures including Eisenhower, Hitler, Churchill, Roosevelt, Stalin and Mussolini. This 23 hours of entertainment leaves the viewer wanting even more. This turbulent time in history comes alive as you follow the effects that World War II has on the "Henry" family's personal lives. Perhaps the most exciting part of the mini-series is that which follows Natalie Henry, her son and her Uncle Aaron Jastrow as they struggle to survive (and attempt to escape) as Jews under Nazi occupation.

War and Remembrance Trivia:

    

At the time it was produced, the War and Remembrance miniseries was the most expensive one of all time. The script was 1492 pages long with 358 speaking roles. There were 2070 scenes filmed at 757 locations using over 44,000 actors including extras. And all of that for a bargain price of 110 million U.S. dollars!

It might have been a bit difficult for actor Steven Berkoff to play his role as Adolph Hitler as his religion is Jewish!

Paramount studios bankrolled the production of The Winds of War but they decided against doing so for War and Remembrance. Luckily for viewers, executives at ABC decided to go ahead with the production and have the network finance it.

Legendary actor John Dehner's health problems with emphysema and diabetes caused his role as Admiral Ernest King on War and Remembrance to be his last. He passed away four years later from those afflictions. John appeared in many dozens of movies and a ridiculous number of guest-starring roles on TV. He's probably best known for his role as the good guy gunslinger for hire, "Paladin" on the "Have Gun Will Travel Radio Show" and as the crusading reporter, "Jim Duke Williams" on the 1960-1962 TV series, "The Roaring 20s".

E.G. Marshall had played the role as General Dwight Eisenhower in a TV movie titled, "Ike" in 1986 and then played the same role just a few years later on War and Remembrance.

Sir John Gielgud took over in the role of Aaron Jastrow from John Houseman who had played that part in the Winds of War. A decade earlier, Sir John turned down the role of Professor Kingsfield on the TV series, "The Paper Chase" which was then given to Houseman.

Pat Hingle played Admiral William Halsey on this miniseries. He also served in the Pacific in the Navy during World War II which means that he served under the command of Admiral Halsey!

Hitler's Reich Chancellery was bombed towards the end of World War II. The Soviets had it torn down after the war ended. The scenes featuring the Chancellery were actually of the Hofburg Place in Vienna, Austria.
