Quotes 

• Herself - Actress : [Virginia Mayo on Cagney]  He wasn't actually a Gene Kelly type. I mean, he was short, pugnacious. You never thought of him as a dancer. Somehow, he got into that gangster mould and it just seemed to *fit* him. And they would never change that.

• Herself - Actress : [Virginia Mayo on "White Heat"]  One scene, Jimmy said, "If I kick the chair out from under you, will you be all right? Will you fall back on the bed and not hurt yourself?" I said, "Yes, I can do it. It's easy!" So, we did it! We did it in one take... It wasn't in the script. It was just these little additions that Jimmy would make to every scene.

• Herself - Actress : [Virginia Mayo on Cagney]  I remember the first day on the set. He didn't seem too anxious. I don't think he cared about doing another gangster film, which this was, "White Heat".
