By late in the decade he was one of the highest-paid actors in the country, a status he achieved partly by walking out repeatedly on Warners to press for higher pay and protest its grueling working conditions and bumper-to-bumper production schedule. For all his fame, Cagney had little taste for Hollywood night life. He liked best the company of a permanent band of actor buddies, including Pat O'Brien, Spencer Tracy, Ralph Bellamy and Frank McHugh. In private he could be shy and gentle. O'Brien called...
