Rest In Peace Mr. LaddALAN LADD was and will always be great, ONE OF THE GIANTS OF THE SCREEN, because we can watch his movies over and over again. I liked him from the moment when I was a boy and saw him in Shane which I think is still one of the great movie westerns.Nearly 35 years ago, I wrote a book about Ladd, ‘The Films of Alan Ladd’. Having worked with him on Shane Stevens knew that Ladd had the right incredients to make the Jet Rink character tick and I for one would have loved to have seen what they would have come up with. Its interesting that The Great Gatsby is being remade with Leonardo Di Caprio and I hope that it doesn’t sully the memory of the original.AS A LONG TIME FAN OF ALAN LADD…..

Two top level stars who seemed to have it all except a life of happiness. i loved every film alan played in,he was a very good actorAt long last a great article on one of my favourite actors – the very underrated Alan Ladd.

Because of that, people thought he was merely a movie star, not an actor. MOvie star..acotor/actress I enjoyed his movies..and i always used to watch him even in his inferior roles, and there were many of these..his problem was that even after Shane a tremendous success the new people there, real estate mavericks wanting to make it big..but also liking film..it was a new environment..trying to develop international stars and those with a reputation..it was a difficult time..he went to Warners which developed properties and forced them on him..and TV was on the scene..he just didnt fit in..WArners and his wife a gentle and sensitive person unable to mature to the harsh realities..his wife may have picked his neighbours..I enjoy many of his films..especially pre warners.how he ended up in that studio with a producer/writer like Rackin..great though he was..he really couldnt write for him..nor could he live up to these parts..I remember this guy..I have about 300 movies, including Shane, This Gun For Hire, and The Blue Dahlia.
