Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. Recites Rudyard Kipling's "If" on The Ed Sullivan Show

What a great guy he was. He lived life full measure.

Fairbanks, Dad and Son, so charming. 😊

Fairbanks Jr. also recited "If" on at least one other Sullivan occasion, Dec. 1, 1957, which can also be viewed on this channel. I would love to see Irish tenor Martin Keane sing "A Little Bit of Heaven" on this 1951 episode!

Well I certainly wasn't watching on December 1, 1957 because I was born 13 days later.
