As one of the best and most influential actors in the history of cinema, Cary Grant certainly made a name for himself throughout his decades-spanning career. He was one suave and glamorous actor in the mid-20th century during Hollywood's Golden Age.
Audiences and critics alike couldn't seem to get enough of him, and he sure looked good in a tuxedo next to the equally charming and beautiful Katherine Hepburn in her fur-accented silk robe in Bringing Up Baby. And then there were films like Holiday and To Catch a thief where Grant showed off his range. He could be cool and courageous while also passionate, funny, and witty.
He was known for having his signature thick transatlantic accent while projecting an image of being a slick debonair. Of his era, he was Hollywood's definitive and favorite leading man. He was also smart about things and chose to leave the studio system behind after his first contract with Paramount expired.
It seemed as if every film that he was credited in struck gold both at the box office and also with the critics. He indeed had some less-than-impressive credits thrown in the mix, such as 1957s Kiss Them for Me and 1963s Mr Lucky, but since he appeared in at least 54 films, he earned the right to appear in a couple of lackluster flicks. The rest of his body of work stands the test of time, and the legacy that he has left behind is for the most part glowing.
You shouldn't think that you know who the real Cary Grant was just because you've seen his films and know a few tales about his personal life and prolific career. In truth, Grant lived a life of secrecy and rarely opened up and let the world know the real him. It's rumored that he might have even been a homosexual. If so, then he was sure good at hiding it, as he was married three times throughout his lifetime.
He lived out his days wearing a carefully constructed “disguise”. The persona he projected to the media and tabloids of his era wasn't who he really was. Very few people in his inner circle ever actually got a glimpse at the man he truly was.
