"Van Johnson, whose boy-next-door wholesomeness made him a popular Hollywood star in the '40s and '50s with such films as 30 Seconds over Tokyo, A Guy Named Joe and The Caine Mutiny, died Friday of natural causes. He was 92.
With his clean-cut looks, the red-haired Johnson played opposite many top-shelf leading ladies during his two decades with MGM. When movie contracts began to dry up, he had a very successful stint doing regional theatre and then later found more success in London as lead in The Music Man and La Cage Aux Folles on Broadway."
