Alexander Walker recalls the screen careers of the cinema's brightest stars. James Cagney
In his 50-year career,
Hollywood's greatest tough guy played the bad man, the hero and the song-and-dance man. He gave every role all he'd got, but was sparing with words when asked about his art: 'You walk in, plant yourself, look the other fella in the eye and tell the truth. That's all you need to know about acting. Class dismissed.'

Compiled by jo ANDERSON from the letters and diaries of DAME LAURA KNIGHT. RA, Britain's Official War Artist at the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg
With Jill Balcon
From 7 January to 1 April 1946, the 68-year-old Nottingham-born painter worked feverishly in a tiny glass press box overlooking the main courtroom where Goering,
Hess, Ribbentrop and 17 other former Nazi leaders were being tried as war criminals. In The Dock at Nuremberg, Laura Knight wanted to retain an artist's detachment from the tales of horror unreeling a few feet below her. She believed that the idea she had for setting down the event for posterity 'would hold good'.
