James Cagney.
James Cagney (1899-1986), American actor and Academy Award winner, noted for his tough-guy roles. Born in New York City, Cagney attended Columbia University
and made his Broadway debut in the chorus of the musical revue Pitter Patter in 1920. He continued singing and dancing in vaudeville and musical revues until 1930,
when he appeared in his first motion picture, Sinner's Holiday. His performance in The Public Enemy in 1931 established Cagney as a screen tough guy, a role he
played in many subsequent films, including The Crowd Roars (1932), Jimmy the Gent (1934), "G" Men (1935), Angels with Dirty Faces (1938), The Roaring Twenties
(1939), The Strawberry Blonde (1941), and White Heat (1949). He received an Academy Award for his stylish portrayal of the dramatist and actor George M. Cohan in
Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942). Cagney's versatility as an actor also extended to film comedy. He played the role of Bottom in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's
Dream (1935), the lead role in One, Two, Three (1961), and the police chief in Ragtime (1981). In 1974 Cagney was honored by the American Film Institute with its Life
Achievement Award.
