An Original Vintage 6 1/2" x 8 1/2" [17 x 22 cm] News Photo (Learn More) James Cagney was a legendary actor from the 1930s to the 1980s. He was a huge success in crime movies in the early 1930s (almost always playing a gangster), and that unfortunately typecast him in those roles, but he continually fought against it, and he made several wonderful non-gangster movies as well. Some of his movies include: The Public Enemy, Yankee Doodle Dandy (winner of the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), White Heat, Ragtime, Angels With Dirty Faces (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), The Roaring Twenties, One, Two, Three, Love Me Or Leave Me (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film) and scores of others! He retired from show business completely in 1961, but he was coaxed out of retirement to appear in Milos Formal's Ragtime in 1981. He passed away in 1986 at the age of 86. And now you can see headshots of James Cagney in our gallery, Through The Years: James Cagney (from 1930 to 1984)! Important Added Info: Note that the lawsuit referred to in this news photo is when Cagney sued Warner Bros. to get out of his $4,500 per week contract, because he said they made him make too many pictures (and it is said that he resented them putting him in so many gangster movies). It also didn't hurt that if he could get out of his contract, he could make a far greater amount of money on a per picture basis! Also note that this news photo measures 6 1/2" x 8 1/2" [17 x 22 cm]. Condition: very good. There is faint rippling in the left and right edges of the photo caused by exposure to moisture. Otherwise, the news photo is in pretty good condition!
