Stars Of The Early Sound Era, No. 8: Edward G. Robinson

One of the greatest actors of all time. Not only did he never win a competitive Oscar (he was given an honorary Oscar two months after his death), he was never even nominated.

And you wonder why I started the Katies ...

Not for Key Largo, not for Double Indemnity, not for nothing.

It's bad enough to get it wrong for a single year, but to get it wrong for an entire career takes real effort.
