About This Item
London: Warner Bros., [Ca. 1930s].. Original B&W sepia-toned photograph issued as a postcard. 5.5 x 3.5 inches. Very Good+. Printed on verso: "Film-Kurier" Series, 10, Banner St., London, E.C.1. Made in Great Britain. Signed in the plate.James Francis Cagney Jr. (July 17, 1899 – March 30, 1986) was an American actor and dancer on stage and in film. Known for his consistently energetic performances, distinctive vocal style, and deadpan comic timing, he won acclaim and major awards for a wide variety of performances. He is remembered for playing multifaceted tough guys in films such as The Public Enemy (1931), Taxi! (1932), Angels with Dirty Faces (1938), The Roaring Twenties (1939) and White Heat (1949), finding himself typecast or limited by this reputation earlier in his career. He was able to negotiate dancing opportunities in his films and ended up winning the Academy Award for his role in the musical Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942). In 1999 the American Film Institute ranked him eighth among its list of greatest male stars of the Golden Age of Hollywood. Orson Welles described Cagney as "maybe the greatest actor who ever appeared in front of a camera".
