"STEVE COCHRAN: HOLLYWOOD BAD BOY" (10)
Actor STEVE COCHRAN’s life was like a page out of the American macho man’s handbook. Raised in Wyoming where he was once a cowhand, he carved a memorable career in Hollywood playing gangsters, villains, adulterers, and bad boys in great films like “The Best Years of Our Lives” and “White Heat.” But in a case of art imitating life, this rowdy, randy actor’s personal life was just as chaotic and dramatic as his film roles. Find out how his love of women, booze, and trouble proved to be his Achilles heel.
