James Francis Cagney was born this day in 1899 ... Now that's a long time ago. 19th century. Anyway, this photo was used by NBC in advertising the Robert Montgomery Presents episode of September 10, 1956, titled "Soldier from the Wars Returning". This was Cagney's first and last live television show, it had to be scary for a life-long movie star to deal with live television. It was a big favor for old friend Bob, the show led off what was to be the last season of RMP. A good show/performance, but not good enough to save the series.
James Cagney, b. July 17, 1899
