Which Actor's Caricature Was Stolen from Sardi's?

And the answer is ...

a) Jimmy Cagney

Cagney was a veteran performer, making his theater debut in 1919 and going on to star in dozens of films for the next 70 years. After his death, his caricature at Sardi's was stolen and has not been found. Now, after the resident caricaturist for the restaurant, Richard Baretz, makes an original, a copy is hung in its place.

Both Bette Davis and Rex Harrison are pictured at the restaurant; Barbra Streisand has not yet been drawn.
