Here is a story I had not heard from the Wall Street Journal. It's a Wonderful Life was released in 1946 just after WWII. Bothe Jimmy Stewart and Frank Capra, the director, were trying to reestablish themselves after serving during the war. Jimmy Stewart as a squadron leader of B-24 bombers. As result of his service, Stewart was suffering from PTSD and wondering if acting was worth it; had the industry passed him by during the war. Give the article a read as it is very interesting and insightful.
