Favorite celebrities that are former service members?

I found a few that might be a surprise to many:

Bea Arthur-actress was SSG in the Marines during WWII

Hugh Hefner-was a clerk in the Army during WWII

Chuck Norris-even though he always portrayed Army and Delta Force characters in his movies, he was actually an AF Policeman while in service in the late 50s

Johnny Carson-was in the Navy as a communications officer in WWII

Bill Cosby-was a hospital corpsman for the Navy in the late 50s
