Actress, writer, and psychotherapist Betsy Drake was married to famed Hollywood lead Cary Grant from 1949 to 1962. Grant reportedly first spotted Drake in 1947 while she was performing on stage in London. The two subsequently struck up a relationship while returning back to the US on the RMS Queen Mary.
Upon Grant's insistence, Drake was then signed to a film contract with RKO Pictures. Drake's first film saw her sharing the screen with Grant in the romantic comedy Every Girl Should Be Married which hit theaters in 1948.
A little under two years after the two first met, Drake and Grant tied the knot in a private ceremony that was organized by Grant's best man, eccentric aviator, film producer, and business magnate Howard Hughes. After exchanging wedding vows, the newlyweds chose to live a low-key introspective life together outside of the spotlight.
During their time together, Drake and Grant dabbled in things like transcendentalism, yoga, mysticism, and even psychedelic drugs. Cracks eventually developed in their relationship, and by 1958, Drake and Grant chose to go their separate ways. While they divorced in 1962, they remained close friends.
Despite being married five times and dating countless women, including actress Sophia Loren, persistent rumors have endured over Grant's sexuality – with many insisting that he was bisexual.
Betsy Drake passed away at the age of 92 in 2015, but in the years that ensued following her divorce from Grant, she consistently denied that her ex-husband was anything but a heterosexual. Watch this facts-packed video to hear what the late "Intent to Kill" actress had to say about Cary Grant's sexuality.
