That the old fashioned motion picture gangster with his ugly face, gaudy cars, and flashy clothes was replaced by a smoother, better looking, and better dressed bad man was largely the work of Mr. Ladd. - "New York Times" obituary (January 30, 1964)
Alan Ladd
I`d love to play a gangster but I think people might say I looked a bit too young and cheeky to play a character who`d just blown someones head off!

It makes some great movies. I mean, some of my favorite films growing up, have been, forgive me, gangster films. I learned how to walk and talk watching Jimmy Cagney. It`s that, it`s the power, it`s the glamour. The mob just has all that mysticism around ...

I`ve played the lot: a homosexual, a sadistic gangster, kings, princes, a saint, the lot. All that`s left is a Carry On film. My last ambition.

I`d be the girl of the gangster...then the sister who was bringing up the gangster...then the mother of the gangster...and they always had me ironing somebody`s shirt.

We had an apartment on west side of Central Park. The rent was very reasonable. We found out later that it belonged to a gangster called Legs Diamond and it was a front to his headquarters. It was fine.
James Stewart
I`ve always been into films. I`ve been offered lots of films but they`ve always been these very stereotypical roles. They wanted me to play some gangster or street guy, or pimp, drug addict.

How did we suddenly become entranced with gangster culture? I saw it this morning on campus. When did the black community say we should all look like criminals?
