Alan Ladd

Alan Walbridge Ladd (3. septembar 1913 – 29. januar 1964) bio je američki filmski glumac. Glumom se počeo baviti 1930-ih nakon što je zbog ozljede morao odustati od plivačke karijere. Usprkos talenta, zbog niskog rasta nije mogao dobijati glavne uloge, ali je zvijezdom postao kada mu je u filmu This Gun for Hire partnerica bila Veronica Lake, jedna od rijetkih glumica još nižih nego on. Nakon toga je glumio u nizu hvaljenih filmova, od kojih je najpoznatiji Shane, klasični vestern čiji je istoimeni junak jedna od najvećih ikona žanra.
