Cary Grant who art in Heaven HAPPY BIRTHDAY! (YAREAH)

By Isabel del Rio


Cary Grant was an English-born American film and stage actor. Known for his transatlantic accent, debonair demeanor and "dashing good looks", Grant is considered one of classic Hollywood's definitive leading men. Wikipedia
Born: January 18, 1904, Bristol
Died: November 29, 1986, Davenport
Height: 6' 2" (1.87 m)
Full name: Archibald Alexander Leach
Spouse: Barbara Harris (m. 1981–1986)


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.”
