Actress Joan Leslie starred in many films in the 1940's, but pretty much gave up acting in 1956 to raise her family. I've always enjoyed her role in Yankee Doodle Dandy as Mary, George M Cohan's (James Cagney's) wife. I drew them in the scene when they're in the offices of theatrical producers Dietz and Goff, singing "Harrigan." I told her that was my favorite scene- and she wrote above her signature "My favorite scene too."
