And few knew Cagney was a dancer. The clip of him on those stairs was too short.

Hope springs eternal - or at least as long as Cagney was there:

But, reminded me of telling the lady friend, who's a dozen years younger, about meeting Uncle Miltie my first year in college and that if cellphones had existed I'd have gotten a selfie. Her response was to ask who Uncle Miltie was, and still didn't know when I said Milton Berle. Told her we really needed to work on her pop culture knowledge...

Which comes around to cars - I have over the years seen a number of cars for sale that were purported to be celebrity cars - but people no longer knew or remembered who the celeb was. Of course I know who Uncle Miltie is but, as life moves on many of those actors/ athletes/ singers/ etc move out of public consciousness.

At the time, being the oldest, I was the first of the family kids off to college. Where I went they ran an October Parents Weekend so students, freshmen primarily, could show parents how they were adjusting to college life. So my folks came over and while showing them around a bus pulled up and off stepped Milton Berle to ask directions to the arena where he was to perform the weekend parent's show. My dad for years used that as story of how he visits the oldest son in college and got to shake Milton Berle's hand for making the trip.
