Cary grant was born on 18 January 1904. Then, today is his anniversary, the anniversary of the best gallant of every time.

Smart, funny, handsome… Cary Grant is the best leading man of classic Hollywood era.

They say Hitchcock was absolutely angry when Cary Grant left cinema. They say Frank Capra could never find a substitute. They say David Lean (so proud and English) begged him that starring in Lawrence of Arabia and Cary Grant refused a cause of his old age… They say so many things. Maybe he had an affair with Grace Kelly while other voices say he was gay. He was friend of the communist director Charles Chaplin but he introduced his friend Betty Ford, the First Lady of the United States, at the Republican National Convention in 1976… Cary Grant is an icon and an icon has many secrets.

He was nominated twice for the Academy Award for Best Actor (Penny Serenade and None But the Lonely Heart) and five times for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor but he was continually passed over. Finally, in 1970, he received an Honorary Oscar at the 42nd Academy Awards by Frank Sinatra “for his unique mastery of the art of screen acting with the respect and affection of his colleagues.”

Will Daniel Day-Lewis be first actor to win 3 Academy Awards for Best Actor? (SCREEN INVASION)

By John H. Foote

Who else might have been deserving?

In the history of the Academy Awards, since 1927, no single actor has managed to win three Academy Awards for Best Actor. Nine have won twice, while Jack Nicholson has won twice for Best Actor and once for Best Supporting Actor. Character actor Walter Brennan won three times as Best Supporting Actor before 1950 and at least one actor should have won three Best Actor awards in a span of six years in the sixties, but did not. Incredibly Katherine Hepburn won four times as Best Actress, the first in the thirties, back to back awards in the sixties and the final one in 1981 putting her far ahead of both the men and women.

Thirteen women have won twice for Best Actress, with Ingrid Bergman and Meryl Streep each winning another for Best Supporting Actress, and many of the ladies, could have won more than they did. Is it not bizarre that Streep just became a two time Best Actress winner only a year ago??


Daniel Day-Lewis will likely become the first actor to be a triple Best Actor winner for his magnificent performance in Lincoln (2012), the years best film. Day-Lewis first won for his stunning work in My Left Foot (1989) and just five years ago for There Will Be Blood (2007) arguably the greatest male performance ever put on film. His win for Lincoln (2012) will place him where no other actor has ever been, but in hindsight, several could have been perhaps should have been three time winners (or more) before now.

Fredric March, Spencer Tracey, and Gary Cooper were all deserving two time Oscar winners, with not one of them having a chance at a third. However, the other six all should be three time winners.
