“Donnie Dunagan was a child actor who had starred in six other films before landing a role in ‘Bambi,’ where he provided the voice of the young fawn. No one who has seen the film can forget Bambi calling out to his mother after she is shot and killed by hunters.
“After ‘Bambi,’ Dunagan left Hollywood and hid his most famous work, in part because of his next role, in the U.S. Marines.
“‘I am a commander in Marine Corps boot camp,’ Dunagan remembered. ‘Hundreds of recruits I'm responsible for. ... I just thought to myself, I don't think I want all these young Marines to start calling me 'Major Bambi.’’”
