He spent over six decades working in Hollywood as an actor, writer and director. Raoul Walsh was a prolific craftsman who worked in a wide range of genres. His style was straightforward and unpretentious, but at the same time vibrant and compelling.

Walsh struggled to find his footing for over a decade until hitting his stride in the 1940s, a period where he produced his best work. His greatest films were in collaboration with stars Errol Flynn and James Cagney.

After leaving his home studio of Warner Bros. in 1953, Walsh's output diminished and his career faltered. Despite never having been nominated for an Academy Award, he was without a doubt one of classic Hollywood's best directors. Here are six classic movies directed by Raoul Walsh.

British-born actress Patricia Medina, whose Hollywood heyday came in the 1950s, died at Barlow Respiratory Hospital in Los Angeles on April 28, 2012. She was 92.

Medina launched her career as a teenager in the late 1930s with a number of films made in her native England and worked her way up to leading roles in films like Hotel Reserve (1944), Don't Take It to Heart (1944) and Kiss the Bride Goodbye (1945).

Following the war, she came to Hollywood and signed a contract with MGM, for whom she had a supporting role in The Three Musketeers (1948), starring Gene Kelly and Lana Turner.

Medina was prolific throughout the 1950s, starring in a wide range of classic movies like Francis (1950), Botany Bay (1953) with Alan Ladd and James Mason, Plunder of the Sun (1953) starring Glenn Ford, Phantom of the Rue Morgue (1954) with Karl Malden, and Orson Welles' convoluted Mr. Arkadin (1955).

Her film career tapered off near the end of the decade, leading to a transition to television. But by the end of the 1960s Medina's acting days were virtually at an end.

In 1960, she married her second husband, actor Joseph Cotten, which last until his death in 1994. Four years later, Medina published her memoirs Laid Back in Hollywood: Remembering (1998).
