Fast talking, fast dancing, gangster, entertainer,
leading man, James Cagney's energetic style created a unique niche
in the 1940's film world.
James Cagney's defining role would be as entertainer
George M. Cohan in the popular YANKEE
DOODLE DANDY. Notable films include: THE ROARING TWENTIES,
THE STRAWBERRY BLONDE, WHITE HEAT, and MISTER
ROBERTS.
Film fans were entranced by Cagney's machine
gun-like delivery of lines, as well as, highly energized body
movements. James Cagney was one of the rare superstars to retire
while still quite popular, in order to focus on his private life
out of the glare of the media spotlight. Much imitated, Cagney's
unique style has never been equaled. More
