Cary Grant biography
Cary Grant (Archibald Alexander Leach), 1904-1986, British-American actor.
From the late 1930s and the following 25 years, Cary Grant was Hollywood's leading entertainment star.
Cary Grant achieved an image of an elegant charmer and romantic, a carefree man of the world that was never challenged by the comic characters he also played. He had a past as a variety of singers, dancers, and acrobats, first in Great Britain and then in the United States in the 1920s.
Among Grant's farce roles are classics such as Howard Hawks' so-called screwball comedies Bringing Up Baby (1938), His Girl Friday (1940), and Monkey Business (1952).
The long-range of fun games include, among other things, The Awful Truth (1937)
A darker and more ambiguous side of Cary Grant's personality was cultivated by Alfred Hitchcock in Suspicion (1941) and Notorious (1946).
