Ward Bond (actor)
A uncultured urban myth hold that next to the hours of daylight he die, Bond be planned for the future both lead singer 'Johnny Horton' (qv) contained by Dallas to demonstration a action to corroborate up and about on _"Wagon Train" (1957)_ (qv). Horton died in an auto fluke, buffet via a drunk driver, at 1:30 a.m. and Bond died in Dallas at noontime like day. However, Bond in deposit of the celebrity of the rotation overwhelm no right to be heard in cast., Many sources quote 1905, and/or Denver, Colorado, USA regarding birth, Entered films in 1928 while attending the University of Southern California., Family rumor is that Bond was a roommate at USC with 'John Wayne (I)' (qv), who convinced him to go into acting. They were apparently best friends; one of their favorite activities in their youth was to go to bars, get drunk, and start fights., On a hunting trip, he was accidentally shot by 'John Wayne (I)' (qv). Bond left Wayne the shotgun in his will., In _The Wings of Eagles (1957)_ (qv), Bond played his friend, director 'John Ford (I)' (qv), under the character name John Dodge (the name itself was a play on American automobile names. Ford was a real-life friend of the film's subject character). The set dressing, wardrobe, and Oscars in the scene are all actually Ford's., Often played a policeman or soldier., The muppet "Bert" on _"Sesame Street" (1969)_ (qv) was rumored to be named after Bond's character (Bert the cop) in _It's a Wonderful Life (1946)_ (qv)., Bond appears in the most films (seven) of the American Film Institute's list of the 100 Greatest American Movies: _It Happened One Night (1934)_ (qv), _Bringing Up Baby (1938)_ (qv), _Gone with the Wind (1939)_ (qv), _The Grapes of Wrath (1940)_ (qv) , _The Maltese Falcon (1941)_ (qv), _It's a Wonderful Life (1946)_ (qv) and _The Searchers (1956)_ (qv)., Was an epileptic, a closely guarded secret not made public until many years after his death., Inducted into the Hall of Great Western Performers of the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in 2001., Although 'John Ford (I)' (qv) mocked many actors mercilessly (including 'John Wayne (I)' (qv)), Bond probably was on the receiving end of the worst verbal punishment from the director (who counted Bond among his favorite actors). At Bond's funeral, Ford walked up to 'Andy Devine (I)' (qv) and said, "Now YOU'RE the biggest asshole I know.", Although his career was cut short by his premature death in 1960 at the age of 57, he was one of the most prolific of Hollywood's actors over a period of 30 years. He regularly appeared in 10 to 20 films per year, with the record year for him being 1935, when he acted in 30 movies., Worked with director 'John Ford (I)' (qv) on 26 films. Few, if any, actors, have appeared in so many films for a single director., On his way to John Wayne's wedding he was hit by a car, but performed his duty as best man on crutches., Due to his heavy involvement with blacklisting suspected Communists, liberal directors sought to finish Bond's acting career by keeping him unemployed. For some years he could only find work in the movies of his friend 'John Wayne (I)' (qv) or other right-wing stars. Then in 1957, at the age of fifty-four, he made an enormous comeback as Major Seth Adams in _"Wagon Train" (1957)_ (qv), and was finally a star in his own right., Bond has been officially remembered with a TV star on Hollywood Boulevard, by being inducted into the Hall of Great Western Performers at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum, and by a Ward Bond Memorial Park in his birthplace of Benkelman, Nebraska. However, he is probably most fondly remembered for his enormous output of solid work, with great respect by the industry., Bond's involvement with _Johnny Guitar (1954)_ (qv) was ironic considering the director, 'Nicholas Ray' (qv), was a major left-winger who had been shielded from the House Unamerican Activities Committee (HUAC) by millionaire producer 'Howard Hughes (I)' (qv). In addition, _Johnny Guitar (1954)_ (qv) was a thinly-veiled attack on the HUAC's drive to uncover communist sympathizers. It was strange that Bond, an activist member of the right-wing Motion Picture Alliance for the Preservation of American Ideals, should have chosen to work with Ray and stranger still that his character John McIvers eventually appeared to show remorse for the hate-mongering he had helped foster., Died at the Town House Motor Hotel, 2914 Harry Hines Blvd., Dallas, Texas., Campaigned for Republican 'Richard Nixon' (qv) in the 1960 presidential election., 'John Wayne (I)' (qv) gave the eulogy at his funeral.
Death Notes:Dallas, Texas, USA (heart attack)
Gruff, burly American persona comedian. Born contained by 1903 in Benkelman, Nebraska (confirmed next to Social Security annals; source state 1905 or Denver, Colorado be in slink.) Bond bulldoze uphill in Denver, the son of a lumberyard skivvy. He attend the University of Southern California, where on earth he get tough grind by an additional through a football teammate who would become both his best ever colleague and one of cinema's biggest star: 'John Wayne (I)' (qv). Director 'John Ford (I)' (qv) promote Bond from extra to opinionated actor in the lay bare _Salute (1929)_ (qv), and become another swift friend. An imprudent man of inconsequential tact, nonetheless fun-loving in the anti-government, Bond be any loved or horrendous by all who know him. His facade and self certified in need fault into almost any sort of film, and he appear in hundreds of pictures in his greater than 30-year occupation, in both ball parts and original supporting role. In the films of Wayne and Ford, extremely, he was nearly always recent. Among his best likeable roles are John L. Sullivan in _Gentleman Jim (1942)_ (qv), Det. Tom Polhaus in _The Maltese Falcon (1941)_ (qv) and the Rev. Capt. Samuel Johnson Clayton _The Searchers (1956)_ (qv). An optimist but anti-intellectual patriot, he was feasibly the most vehement proponent, among the Hollywood rural community, of blacklisting in the witch hunt of the 1950s, and he serve as a most vengeful president of the ultra-right-wing Motion Picture Alliance in favour of the Preservation of American Ideals. In the mid-'50s he gain his extreme reputation as the figure of TV's _"Wagon Train" (1957)_ (qv). During its amount produced, Bond traveled to Dallas, Texas, to attend a football hobby and die nearby in his hotel legroom of a massive heart matching set next to.

Cagney's first job as an entertainer was as a female dancer in a chorus line., According to his authorized biography, Cagney, although of Irish and Norwegian extraction, could speak Yiddish since he had grown up in a heavily Jewish area in New York. He used to converse in Yiddish with Jewish performers like 'Sylvia Sidney (I)' (qv)., (October 1997) Ranked #45 in Empire (UK) magazine's "The Top 100 Movie Stars of All Time" list., Brother of actor-producer 'William Cagney' (qv) and of actress 'Jeanne Cagney' (qv)., Films co-starring 'James Cagney' (qv) and 'Pat O'Brien (I)' (qv) were these nine: _Here Comes the Navy (1934)_ (qv), _Devil Dogs of the Air (1935)_ (qv), _The Irish in Us (1935)_ (qv), _Boy Meets Girl (1938)_ (qv), _Angels with Dirty Faces (1938)_ (qv), _Torrid Zone (1940)_ (qv), _The Fighting 69th (1940)_ (qv), _Ceiling Zero (1936)_ (qv), as well as their finale together, four decades later, _Ragtime (1981)_ (qv)., (1974) American Film Institute Life Achievement Award, Interred at Gate of Heaven Cemetery, Hawthorne, New York, USA., (1942-1944) President of Screen Actors Guild (SAG)., Convinced decorated war hero 'Audie Murphy (I)' (qv) to go into acting., His widow Frances (nicknamed 'Bill') outlived Cagney by eight years, dying aged 95 in 1994., Father of actor 'James Cagney Jr.' (qv), Pictured on a 33 USA commemorative postage stamp in the Legends of Hollywood series, issued 22 July 1999., Had two adopted children, Cathleen "Cassie" and James Jr., Was best friends with actors 'Pat O'Brien (I)' (qv) and 'Frank McHugh' (qv)., Earned a Black Belt in Judo., He was voted the 14th Greatest Movie Star of all time by Entertainment Weekly., Extraordinarily (for Hollywood), he never cheated on his wife Frances, resulting in a marriage that lasted 64 years (ending with his death). The closest he came was nearly giving into a seduction attempt by 'Merle Oberon' (qv) while the two stars were on tour to entertain WWII GIs., Despite the common perception that he was full-blooded Irish of origin this was not all-together true. His grandfather was from Norway, but as he told an interviewer shortly before his death in 1986: "My mother's father, my Grandpa Nelson, was a Norwegian sea captain, but when I tried to investigate those roots I didn't get very far, for he had apparently changed his name to another one that made it impossible to identify him within the rest of the population."
