Suppose, for whatever reasons / PODs (that's up to you), any of iconic movie stars lived longer and had more extended careers? Here are a few examples:

  • W. C. Fields (complications of alcoholism; died at age 66 in 1946)
  • Marilyn Monroe (suicide; 1962)
  • Clark Gable (complications of a heart attack; 1960)
Thus...

  • Would Fields make it into TV somehow?
  • Would Marilyn get more serious roles--and what of the rumors of involvement with John F. Kennedy?
  • Does Gable's career move into a proto-Harrison Ford-like trajectory?
Have at it.
