Happy Birthday, Cary Grant

I do seem to be writing one  eclectic blog…

I just realized today is Cary Grant’s Birthday and had to stop for a moment to recognize that fact.

Cary Grant has always been one of my favorite movie stars.  He could dress like a million bucks but still keep the common touch.  To me, he epitomizes true class- style without snobbism and substance laced with joie de vivre.

There are too many Cary Grant films that I love to write about them all.  So I just chose a scene from one of my favorites “Holiday” and let it speak for itself:

“Holiday” seems to be a lesser known film now than it’s illustrious cousin “The Philadelphia Story” which was also by playwright Philip Barry and co-stared Katharine Hepburn.  It’s a shame this movie is overlooked- but then I have a weakness for films from the 1930’s before the Production Code forced false morality and before MGM sprayed on the gloss.  And before McCarthy…

There are so many other great Cary Grant films with stars like Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, Deborah Kerr, Ingrid Bergman and, of course, more with the Great Kate.  And Hitchcock.

As they say, they don’t make’em like Cary anymore…

  1. Cary Grant is the best leading man that ever lived. Robert Redford may be a close second, but nobody has what Cary Grant has. I guess they call it “It”. You have “It” or not, but you really can’t define it… you just can tell.
