>Mitchum left home at age 14[28] and traveled throughout the country, hopping freight cars[29] and taking a number of jobs, including ditch digging, fruit picking, and dishwashing.[16][30] In the summer of 1933, he was arrested for vagrancy in Savannah, Georgia and put in a local chain gang.[16][31][32][note 3] By Mitchum's account, he escaped and hitchhiked to Rising Sun, Delaware, where his family had moved.[16][33] That fall, at age 16, while recovering from injuries that nearly cost him a leg, he met 14-year-old Dorothy Spence, whom he would later marry.[31][34][35]>Mitchum worked for the Civilian Conservation Corps for a few months, digging ditches and planting trees, before going back on the road in July 1934.[16][36] He headed for Long Beach, California, where his older sister had moved with her husband.[37][38] The rest of the family soon also arrived and moved in with Julie.[39] For the next three years, Mitchum continued traveling across the country and taking various jobs.[40] He participated in 27 professional boxing matches but retired from the ring after a fight that broke his nose and left a scar on his left eye.[41][42][note 4]

>James Francis "Jimmy" Cagney Jr. was born July 17, 1899 on the Lower East Side of Manhattan in New York City. His biographers disagree as to the actual location: either on the corner of Avenue D and 8th Street,[2] or in a top-floor apartment at 391 East 8th Street, the address that is on his birth certificate.[11] His father, James Francis Cagney Sr. (1875–1918), was of Irish descent. At the time of his son's birth, he was a bartender[12] and amateur boxer, although on Cagney's birth certificate, he is listed as a telegraphist.[11] His mother was Carolyn Elizabeth (née Nelson; 1877–1945); her father was a Norwegian ship's captain,[3] and her mother was Irish.[13]>Cagney was the second of seven children, two of whom died within months of their births. He was sickly as an infant—so much so that his mother feared he would die before he could be baptized. He later attributed his sickly health to the poverty his family endured.[12][14] The family moved twice while he was still young, first to East 79th Street, and then to East 96th Street.[15] He was confirmed at St. Francis de Sales Roman Catholic Church in Manhattan; his funeral service would eventually be held in the same church.[16]>Cagney graduated from Stuyvesant High School in New York City in 1918, and attended Columbia College,[17] where he intended to major in Art.[18] He also took German and joined the Student Army Training Corps,[19] but he dropped out after one semester, returning home upon the death of his father during the 1918 flu pandemic.[18]>Cagney held a variety of jobs early in his life: junior architect, copy boy for the New York Sun, book custodian at the New York Public Library, bellhop, draughtsman, and night doorkeeper.[20] He gave all his earnings to his family. While Cagney was working for the New York Public Library, he met Florence James, who helped him into an acting career.[21]

I think people back then were bullshitting a lot or even had their entire public persona doctored by agents/studios in totality. Today you can see candid photos of celebs tripping and falling and see them babbling on social media and so on. Their lives are very transparent and it's easy to pull up their history. But back in the day entertainment journalism was the only way to get info about them and that was in the pocket of the studios.Consequently they all had suitable backstories and pedigrees.Bear in mind that actors and actresses were always prostitutes and fags and fruity theater people no matter what they appear to be or claim they're authentically about.
>In his 1988 autobiography, The Ragman's Son, Douglas notes the hardships that he, along with his parents and six sisters, endured during their early years in Amsterdam:>My father, who had been a horse trader in Russia, got himself a horse and a small wagon, and became a ragman, buying old rags, pieces of metal, and junk for pennies, nickels, and dimes ... Even on Eagle Street, in the poorest section of town, where all the families were struggling, the ragman was on the lowest rung on the ladder. And I was the ragman's son.[20]>Douglas had an unhappy childhood, living with an alcoholic, physically abusive father.[21] While his father drank up what little money they had, Douglas and his mother and sisters endured "crippling poverty".[22]>Douglas first wanted to be an actor after he recited "The Red Robin of Spring", a poem by the English poet John Clare, while in kindergarten and received applause.[23] Growing up, he sold snacks to mill workers to earn enough to buy milk and bread to help his family. He later delivered newspapers, and he had more than forty jobs during his youth before becoming an actor.[24] He found living in a family with six sisters to be stifling: "I was dying to get out. In a sense, it lit a fire under me."

>Grant was born into an impoverished family in Bristol, where he had an unhappy childhood marked by the absence of his mother and his father's alcoholism. He became attracted to theatre at a young age when he visited the Bristol Hippodrome.[7] At 16, he went as a stage performer with the Pender Troupe for a tour of the US. After a series of successful performances in New York City, he decided to stay there.[8] He established a name for himself in vaudeville in the 1920s and toured the United States before moving to Hollywood in the early 1930s.
