Audie Murphy (1924-1971) was a highly decorated American soldier and B-Western star. He is widely regarded as the most decorated American soldier of World War II.
After seeing young Audie Murphy's photo on the cover of Life Magazine actor James Cagney (sensing star potential) invited Murphy to Hollywood in late 1945.
He was not an instant success, but eventually became a B-Western star making films for Universal, Columbia and Allied Artists during the 1950s and 1960s.
