James Caan was the ultimate New Yorker
about the actor making a comeback after a brief absence from Hollywood. Caan, a 40-something pistol, spoke fondly about his rebellious early years in the movie business.“If there’s any one thing I could attribute my success to, it’s that I said ‘No.’ You’d go to an audition and they were always very cordial and nice and ‘How do you do, sir?’ And if I didn’t like the job, I’d turn it down,” he said.“You were angry in those days?” Ebert asked.“I was just New York, is all.”Caan, who died Thursday at age 82, always screamed New York.
