Listen to the interview on www.iconsradio.com
Hosted by John Mulholland & Stephen Bogart

How's this for hitting the ground running? In 1941, at 16, Joan Leslie starred opposite Gary Cooper (Sergeant York) and Humphrey Bogart (High Sierra). At 17, opposite James Cagney (Yankee Doodle Dandy) and Henry Fonda (The Male Animal). And at 18? How about Fred Astaire (The Sky's The Limit)? And two of Leslie's co-stars, Cooper and Cagney, won Best Actor Oscars playing opposite her. Nor was she afraid to challenge her screen image as the sweet and supportive woman. Looking for richer roles, Leslie went the independent route in the late forties. In 1948's Northwest Stampede, she plays the foreman of a ranch, every bit as tough as the men. In 1950, she worked with director Nicholas Ray in the underrated film noir, Born To Be Bad. Tune in to ICONS Radio this Sunday at 8PM ET as this luminous actress shares memories of her long and fascinating Hollywood career. Leslie worked with a who's who of Hollywood royalty: Cooper, Cagney, Astaire, Fonda, Bogart, Robert Ryan, Ida Lupino, Joan Fontaine, Randolph Scott, Jane Russell, Sterling Hayden, and so many others.

    She is an amazing personality and talent . Watch her imitations of Cagney and Lupino in "Thank your lucky stars". Just love watching her light up the screen.
