10 Things To Know About Alan Ladd on his 107th birthday

On the old boards there was a joke that Alan Ladd once wanted to play Lawrence of Arabia, and most members made jokes about it, I thought it was unfair since at what stage was a biopic though of, maybe it was at the time when he did play a dark knight in a British movie, and it might have sounded like just another action movie at that point. What eventually became David Lean's majestic movie, I think has nothing to do with an eventual action movie with Alan Ladd in the mid 1950s using the same character.

I neither like or dislike an Alan Ladd movie, I don't avoid when I see him in the cast, even if I don't exactly search him out.
