Jeanne Carolyn Cagney

 Jeanne Carolyn Cagney (March 25, 1919 – December 7, 1984)

Born in New York City, Cagney and her four older brothers were raised by their widowed mother, Carolyn Elizabeth Cagney, after the death of their father, James Francis Cagney Sr. (1875–1918). Two brothers, Harry and Edward, were physicians. Her brother James Cagney was a film actor, and her brother William Cagney was an actor and producer. Cagney performed in the original stage production of The Iceman Cometh, which premiered on Broadway on October 9, 1946. The play's author, Eugene O'Neill, cast her in the role of Margie, one of the "street walkers" in his story. After being heard by a scout while appearing on Bing Crosby's radio program, Cagney had a film test with RKO Pictures. However, she signed a long-term contract with Paramount Pictures. She appeared in 19 films between 1939 and 1965, including four films with her brother James: Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942), The Time of Your Life (1948), A Lion Is in the Streets (1953), and Man of a Thousand Faces (1957). Cagney gave a noted performance opposite Mickey Rooney in the film noir crime film Quicksand (1950).

Later, she served as the fashion commentator of Queen for a Day, hosted by Jack Bailey on NBC and ABC from 1956 to 1963. This daytime "game show" is regarded as a forerunner of today's reality shows. Cagney hosted segments that provided viewers with tips on style and introduced to them the latest fashions. Cagney was married twice, and had two children from her second marriage. She died of lung cancer in Newport Beach, California, on December 7, 1984. Her grave is at Pacific View Memorial Park in Corona del Mar, California.
