Why An Oscar Win For Ryan Gosling Is Historic. And How One Man Brought Cagney's Story To The Stage. Ryan Gosling may make history tonight. If he wins an Academy Award for La La Land, it would mark the first Best Actor win for an original Hollywood musical since James Cagney won his Oscar for Yankee Doodle Dandy in 1943. The only other two Best Actor winners in movie musicals were Yul Brynner (The King & I), and Rex Harrison (My Fair Lady).
In the TV movie that inspired the series, Christine Cagney was played by Loretta Swit. Swit was unable to continue playing Cagney in the series due to her contract with M*A*S*H (1972). Meg Foster took over the role of Christine Cagney. After the first season, Sharon Gless eventually won the role and played Cagney for six years.
