What sort of trouble did Robert have?

Robert Mitchum was an actor's actor. He enjoyed his celebrity, but never took being a star very seriously. His movie career began during World War II, when the rugged, sleepy-eyed actor was fired from an aircraft plant because he threw a punch at his foreman. Acting in the movies, he figured, couldn't be any worse. Years later, he was arrested for marijuana possession. Miraculously, his film career survived the scathing publicity — in fact, Mitchum became even more popular after the headline event. It was a first in the U.S. film industry for a major star to be arrested and not have his/her career terminated by an outraged studio or public.
