Biographie:
Cary Grant, originally Archibald Alexander Leach, was born on January 18, 1904 in Bristol, England. He was one of the most famous and popular actors of classic Hollywood cinema and is considered one of the greatest movie stars of all time.

Grant was born in poor circumstances and grew up in difficult family conditions. At the age of nine he was sent to a boarding school, where he discovered his passion for acting. As a teenager, he appeared in theater performances and quickly developed his talent and skills as an actor.

At the age of 16, Grant left school and joined an acrobatic and magic show called Bob Pender's Knockabout Comedians. He toured Europe with the troupe and eventually made his way to the United States, arriving in 1920. There he began his career as a stage actor in New York City.

Grant quickly made a name for himself in the theater world and caught the attention of film producers. He made his film debut in 1932 in the movie "This is the Night". In the following years he starred in a number of films and established himself as a charismatic and elegant leading man. Grant was known for his ability to shine in both romantic comedies and dramatic roles. He embodied the stylish gentleman with a charming smile and a playful ease that became his trademark.

In the 1940s and 1950s, Grant reached the peak of his career. He worked with renowned directors such as Alfred Hitchcock and starred in films such as "Notorious" (1946), "To Catch a Thief" (1955) and "North by Northwest" (1959). His screen presence and magnetic charisma made him a sought-after star and audience favorite.

Although Grant never received an Oscar for his acting achievements, he was awarded an honorary Oscar for lifetime achievement in 1970. He retired from the acting business in 1966, but returned to the screen once again in 1984 for his last film, Walk Don't Run.

Away from acting, Grant was also involved in charitable causes. He was known for his generosity and supported various organizations. After his retirement from the film business, he spent his time mainly with his family and children.

Cary Grant was not only a gifted actor, but also a style role model and a symbol of elegance. His influence on the film industry and pop culture is still felt today. Cary Grant passed away on November 29, 1986 in Davenport, Iowa at the age of 82, but his impressive career and legacy as one of the greatest movie stars will be remembered forever.

Quote from Operation Petticoat:

Serman: "Sir, Sea Tiger was built to fight. She deserves a better epitaph than 'commissioned 1940, sunk 1941, engagements none, shots fired none.' Now, you can't let it go that way. That's like a beautiful woman dying an old maid, if you know what I mean by old maid."
Henderson: "Did you ever sell used cars?"
Sherman: "No, Sir."
Henderson: "I've got a hunch you missed your calling."
