“Real cities have something else, some individual bony structure under the muck. Los Angeles has Hollywood—and hates it. It ought to consider itself damn lucky. Without Hollywood it would be a mail-order city. Everything in the catalogue you could get better somewhere else.”

“‘I used to like this town,’ I said, just trying to say something and not to ne thinking too hard. ‘A long time ago. There were trees along Wilshire Boulevard. Beverly Hills was a country town. Westwood was bare hills and lots offering at eleven hundred dollars and no takers. Hollywood was a bunch of frame houses on the interurban line. Los Angeles was just a big dry sunny place with ugly homes and no style, but goodhearted and peaceful. It had the climate they just yap about now. People used to sleep out on porches. Little groups who thought they were intellectual used to call it the Athens of America. It wasn’t that, but it wasn’t a neon-lighted slum either.’”

Happy Birthday, Charles McGraw - (May 10th, 1914 - July 30th, 1980)

Known for his granite-jawed looks and distinctive gravely voice, McGraw starred in numerous noirs, including “The Narrow Margin” (1950), “Brute Force” (1947), “The Killers” (1946), “Armed Car Robbery” (1950), “T-Men” (1947), “The Gangster” (1947), “Blood On The Moon” (1948), “The Big Fix” (1947) and “Roadblock” (1951) and evolved from early roles as a villain into an unorthodox, but fascinating leading man.
