Cary Grant was a leading box-office star for three decades, and the silver screen's definition of the quick-witted and debonair gentleman. He co-starred with just about every leading lady in the business, from Grace Kelly, Joan Fontaine and Sophia Loren to Katharine Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe. His early films included comedies such as His Girl Friday (1940) and Bringing Up Baby (1938), and he had remarkable success as a leading man for Alfred Hitchcock in Suspicion (1941), Notorious (1946), To Catch a Thief (1955) and North by NorthwestMore (1959).

    A talented hero of the box office hide show

    Cary Grant is one of my favorite actors of all time. He was also one of the few actors that Sir Alfred Hitchcock ever respected. Grant could do nearly anthing from comedies such as "Bringing Up Baby" or "Mr. Blandings Builds a Dream Home" to action "North By Northwest", to suspense "Notorious" or "Suspicion." the only thing that prevents him from getting a perfect 10 from me is the fact that he never played a villian. A great villian he would have made too, judging by his sinister actions in "Suspicion." But he's far more talented than you or I could ever be, and we should respect him for being such a hero.

    Debonair, suave, funny, charismatic, gorgeous, Cary Grant doesn't disappoint. His films will win you over. Talented beyond belief, he still ranks in the top of all-time. hide show

    Cary Grant amazingly blends humor and charm with ease. On screen his brilliance literally jumps out at you. I can't even say which is my favorite film, only that if you have watched any film of his once you will likely watch them again and again. Whether it be comedy or drama, his delivery is always top notch.
