It's telling that a poll to rate the sexiest line in cinematic history favored movies from the 1940s and ranked a line from the '60s classic Charade as the hottest.


A line from Audrey Hepburn's demure rosebud mouth has been voted the sexiest of all time.

She won for telling Cary Grant in 1963's Charade: 'I don't bite you know... unless it's called for.'

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.”

Kate Middleton is undeniably a woman of style, and now the Duchess of Cambridge has been credited with smartening up one of the dress code for prestigious sporting event Royal Ascot.

Ladies attending this year’s event will need to adhere to newly introduced guidelines that ban fascinators and insist on all female visitors wearing hats instead.

And milliner Stephen Jones thinks it’s the example that the super-groomed Duchess set which has had influence on organisers.

Speaking to The Telegraph’s Mandrake column, the milliner said: “The Duchess is so well dressed, and I think that has helped to push things in that direction.

5 Great Movies About London By Petulia Melideo of CONTEXT TRAVEL (THE DAILY TRAVELER)


Audrey Hepburn as Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady 

British cinematic heritage dates back to 1889, when English inventor William Friese Greene created the first moving pictures on celluloid film. Over the years, award-winning films, actors, directors, and locations (London in particular) have helped keep the UK in the spotlight. Here are five films that showcase London's beauty and unexpected corners of British culture.

Somers Town 
This unique story about a friendship between two boys takes place in London, around the time of the construction of the chunnel and the launch of the first Eurostar train (disclaimer: the movie was partially funded by Eurostar). Even so, it’s a delightful portrait of cross-cultural friendship in London that goes from ugly (Somers Town is still a less-than-idyllic neighborhood) to a joyful playground for Tomo and Marek, the main characters. It's worth watching to see the area around St. Pancras before its overhaul in 2007.

My Beautiful Laundrette 
A very young Daniel Day-Lewis puts on the hat of a troubled Londoner divided between his childhood friends—a group of lazy skinheads—and his love for a first generation Anglo-Pakistani man who is eager to change his fortune. The story is set during the ‘80s, at a time when England was struggling with the Thatcher government and social and racial tensions were high.
