Cary Grant: The man we thought we knew

Cary Grant was considered one of the world's best-known movie stars, but it turns out there was plenty that audiences did not know about the debonair actor. In fact, he was born in England as Archibald Leach, and grew up impoverished and neglected, before finding his way to the U.S. and transforming into the silver screen star we know as Cary Grant. The BritBox series "Archie" explores the actor's complicated past. Correspondent Seth Doane talks with actor Jason Isaacs, who plays Grant, as well as Grant's fourth wife, actress Dyan Cannon, who is a producer of the series.

Mr. Grant was the kindest of gentlemen. In the early sixties I used to see him at Dodger games. Our seats were next to the dugout and he was in the row behind us. He would nod hello to people and of course no one bothered him. I was seven at the time and he noticed me keeping stats and asked my name, which he always remembered, and would always chat with me about the players and ask about school. He could not have been nicer. My folks told me he was a movie star but of course I didn't realize how huge he was until I was older. What a special man and how lucky I was.

It must be noted that Cary Grant seems to have been a person who respected others. For a man of such great stature (a major movie star) he did not behave like a crude or contemptuous person. Knowing what it was to have been treated so badly as a child, he understood that EVERYONE needs some sympathy in a world that can sometimes treat us harshly. His example reminds us all that people carry crosses in life that they do not share with anyone.

I love the story of how he was discovered. Mae West reportedly saw him walking on the set and said if he can talk he’s her next leading man. The rest is history.

@akrenwinkle 6 ай бұрын

It's Mae's revisionist history. Cary had appeared in a few films already, and they knew each other from New York. Her story usually goes that she was looking out the window and saw Cary walking down the street but didn't know who he was, but if he could talk, she would use him in her next picture. It's cute when people believe anything on the internet; it's usually harmless, but not always.

Not so honest. Cary sued has-been comic Chevy Chase for making fun of him. In an interview, the host compared Chase- then hot- with Cary. Chase didn't like it and snarked about Cary, very much alive at the time, "What a gal!" It was petty and mean-spirited. Those in entertainment, especially in Hollywood, were aware that Cary- despite all his marriages- was gay. Chase was also aware that Grant was a much-loved icon. Anyway, Grant sued Chase and won a judgment which, to this day, has not been made public.

The man had a great talent for slipping wry humor into what might otherwise be kind of run of the mill scripts - like he almost broke the 4th wall, but not quite. It always struck me as a knowing wink to those audience members who were smart enough to get it. Great actor, many of my favorite movies are his, and way older than me.

I always think it's cute when comments are sent directly to the object of admiration. "You are my role model, Ms. Eleanor Roosevelt!"

One of my cousins was a big LA Dodgers fan, and along with a friend of hers, went to many of their home games. Cary Grant, who was also big fan, would always smile and wave at them on the way to his seat. Total class act who today's stars could learn a lot from.

It gives me hope that Dyan and Jennifer are producing. I never would have imagined casting Isaacs, but he seems a fit for telling the story. Love Cary Grant and hope I get to see this.

Dyan Cannon's book is fabulous but must-read Chaplin Girl, stories about him from his first wife show how abusive he was which he must have subconsciously learned from his father.

Virginia Cherrill is her name (his first wife). Yes, her book is worth a read.

I think he overcame that and glad that he was able to.

When a man feels trapped into a marriage he can get mean and abusive. The same thing happened to Rock Hudson and his wife, Burt Reynolds and lovely Laugh-In girl Judy Carne, and Wayne Newton and his airline stewardess wife. Marriage should be about love, nothing more, not proving a point.

I hope the series takes a look at Grant's groundbreaking LSD sessions with Dr. Humphrey Osmand in the 50's. Those sessions were the reason that Grant was able to take a look at himself and unravel all the fear in pain. If you don't believe me watch the documentary 'Becoming Cary Grant' which is made entirely from his own words.

Cary Grant was one of a kind. His Mid-Atlantic accent, debonair demeanor, light-hearted approach to acting, and sense of comedic timing made him one of classic Hollywood's definitive leading men. But he had a truly horrible personal life 😢

@wolfman3295 6 ай бұрын

I discovered the truth about Cary many years ago in a documentary that really surprised me. Yes I have heard about the rumors that he had an "affair" or two with other men but nothing was ever made public so even if he did he kept them very discreet. I have watched most of his movies and I just have to admire his humor and style (and looks of course). Cary/Archie was a treasure.

@jeffnorris7592 6 ай бұрын

Not Jeff here. If you haven't read David Niven's memoirs about his life in Golden Age Hollywood, do yourself a favor and pick them up today. He tells a story about Cary Grant. One very early morning, Grant was found at a pool, taking swimming lessons. The sleepy person asked, "Why are you taking lessons, you swim beautifully!" And Cary replied, "Yes, but I want to swim PERFECTLY." PS. The books are "The Moon's a Balloon" and "Bring on the Empty Horses". Some of the stories have been debunked, but I still enjoy them as pure entertainment...just like old Hollywood.

I was in college in the late 80s, and we had college film clubs where you’d join for the semester to see different genres of films shown on the weekends. I joined one film club that showed old movies because they especially calmed me down. At the end of a grueling week of college studies and being far from home, it was my special private joy to see Cary Grant on the big screen on a Friday night. While everybody else was out partying and my roommates slept away, leaving our suite big, open and empty, I had my own weekends full of my own private adventure. I cherish those moments.

'Monkey Business' (1952) with Ginger Rogers, and 'That Touch of Mink' (1962) with Doris Day are my favorite Cary Grant movies. In one, he is silly and childish and goofy. In the other, charming and smooth.

Would love to watch this series here in the US! Cary Grant is such a handsome classic actor-I have been a fan of so many of his movies since childhood.
