James Caan

Did You Know?

• Jimmy is married to Linda Stokes and they have two sons.
• Jimmy has walked down the aisle three times before Linda. He was married to Dee Jay Mattis in the 60's, Sheila Ryan for one year in the 70's and Ingrid Hajek in 1990. He has a son with both Ryan and Hajed and a daughter with Mattis.
• Jimmy played on the football team when he attended Michigan State University.
• His oldest son, Scott, is an actor as well.
• In the beginning of his career, Jimmy worked on the rodeo circuit for nine years. He wasn't a bull-rider, but he roped steers. He seriously injured his shoulder during a rodeo, tearing it to the bone. For what? Third place and $86.
• Jimmy has had many surgeries on his bad shoulder. Sports writer, the late Jim Murray, says "Jimmy Caan was not born, he was embroidered."
• QUOTE: "You know, I've actually had two children with the same woman. That's certainly a sign of maturity, don't you think?"
