#Quote
1I have the face of an aging choirboy and the build of an undernourished featherweight. If you can figure out my success on the screen you're a better man than I.
#Fact
1He was a chain smoker.
2According to June Allyson in her biography, Alan Ladd was scared of flying. When he had to travel to Europe he used the boat, train or car.
3After Dick Cavett made a disparaging remark to John Houseman about Ladd's minimal acting talents, Houseman replied, "You'd be in despair. You'd go down to the set and you'd say, 'Why are we even making this film?' Then you'd go to the rushes, and there'd be these beautiful eyes, full of hidden thoughts. A marvelous film actor.".
4He was the visual inspiration for the original illustrations of superhero Green Lantern/Alan Scott (created in 1940). Ladd was 27 years old at the point. Scott's full name is Alan Ladd Wellington Scott.
5He was a staunch Republican and campaigned for Dwight D. Eisenhower in the 1952 presidential election.
6In 1943, "Modern Screen" magazine ran sixteen stories on him in its twelve issues that year.
7In 1945, he ranked fourth in a "Modern Screen" magazine popularity poll among readers.
8He ranked tenth in popularity in a poll of movie fans conducted by the "Motion Picture Herald" in 1947. From 1948-1950, he ranked number one in that poll.
9In 1954 he and Barbara Stanwyck won the top spots in "Modern Screen" magazine's Star of Stars Award competition as the most popular actors among fans in the previous ten years.
10While he never enjoyed popularity among film critics, Ladd himself and his films were popular with the public. He was mobbed at guest appearances on network radio programs such as "The Lux Radio Theater" and in the 1940s his films grossed almost $55 million.
11At the time of his death he had expressed an interest in playing Steve McQueen's role in Nevada Smith (1966), a part he'd played three years earlier in The Carpetbaggers (1964).
12Turned down James Dean's role in Giant (1956) and Spencer Tracy's role in Bad Day at Black Rock (1955).
13Discovered Rory Calhoun while horseback riding in Griffith Park.
14His former home in Palm Springs, California, is still on the bus tour of movie stars' homes. An office building also bears his name.
15In 1956, Ladd proposed a television series based on his radio series "Box 13". The idea didn't sell. Ladd himself had played his "Box 13" character Dan Holiday in the "Committed" episode of General Electric Theater (1953) on television. In 1963, Ladd said he hoped to reunite several of his 1940s era co-stars, including William Bendix and Veronica Lake, for a big screen version of "Box 13".
16He and Veronica Lake made seven movies together: The Blue Dahlia (1946), Duffy's Tavern (1945), The Glass Key (1942), Saigon (1948), Star Spangled Rhythm (1942), This Gun for Hire (1942) and Variety Girl (1947). In Variety Girl (1947), Star Spangled Rhythm (1942) and Duffy's Tavern (1945), they appear as themselves.
17Has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame located at 1601 Vine Street.
18A photograph of his flogging in Two Years Before the Mast (1946) appears on the cover of the 2004 book: "Lash! The Hundred Great Scenes of Men Being Whipped in the Movies".
19Ladd portrayed Dan Holiday on Mutual Radio's "Box 13" (1948-1949). This show was also syndicated.
20In a 1961 interview Ladd was asked, "What would you change about yourself if you could?" He replied tersely: "Everything."
21The prisoner he plays in 1953's Botany Bay (1952) is keelhauled, marking what may be the only time a Hollywood leading man suffers this particular form of punishment.
22In his movies, suffers two cat-o-nine-tails floggings aboard sailing ships: (1) in Two Years Before the Mast (1946), he receives 10 lashes for striking an officer; (2) in Botany Bay (1952), he receives 50 lashes for attempting to escape from a prison transport ship.
23Owing to a clerical error, Ladd was inaccurately included in the cast credits for Born to the West (1937) in studio publicity material. In fact, he was never in the film, despite the fact that it often shows up in his credits and even on the video box!.
24Interred at Forest Lawn, Glendale, California, USA, in the Freedom Mausoleum, Sanctuary of Heritage.
25Father of Alan Ladd Jr. with first wife, Marjorie 'Midge' Harrold. Father of Alana Ladd and David Ladd with second wife, Sue Carol. Grandfather of Jordan Ladd.
