Name: George Ranft. Occupation: Actor/Dancer.
Beginning in a career that he decided to make when he ran away from home at the age of 13, he worked in Vaudeville, as well, as he puts it, "every Broadway Cafe ... with no hopes of becoming a big star, just a small dancer." That wouldn't do when you had someone like Fred Astaire and George Gershwin coming into the El Fey speakeasy to see you dance. As time would go on, after a few "breaks" here and there, a little known picture known as "Scarface", came along in 1931, were the signed player for the bill of Guino Rinaldo, Scarface's best friend, went to: George Raft. Look to see him in his first leading role opposite Mae West in, "Night after Night" in 1932 ...
... Oooh, what you said.
