Ronald Reagan actually said...

Jimmy burst upon our movie screen with an energy and a talent we have never seen before and we will never see again.

We will miss Jimmy, but we know he has found eternal rest and peace in God's arms.

I believe the entire Nation loved Jimmy Cagney, and I think he must have loved us, too, because he always gave us his very best.

American power, as long as it is used wisely and justly, is an undying symbol of hope for oppressed peoples around the world.
