	American Masters . Cary Grant \| PBS
		Grant never got star-stuck, on himself; he never seemed to be saying, Look at me. The most obvious characteristic of his acting is the absence of narcissism--the outgoingness to the audience.
		CARY GRANT was a knockout in his dapper young days as a Paramount leading man to such suffering sinners as Sylvia Sidney, Carole Lombard, Tallulah Bankhead, Marlene Dietrich, Nancy Carroll.
		Grant's later marriage to Barbara Hutton--Babs, the golden girl, "the richest girl in the world"--had a fairytale resemblance to the Fairbanks-Pickford nuptials.

		Grant personified the prototype of the ideal man created by Hitchcock and the type of man he would have liked to be.
		Cary Grant's characters on the three films, presented an easiness around women, great charisma and personality, bravery; they were cool under pressure, and attracted women like magnets.

		This is true, I think; but it happens that Katharine Hepburn is simply remarkable, and this, combined with her nonpareil beauty (like Cary Grant, she seemed to refashion the act of smiling), has meant that her work is almost bound to be interesting, no matter what the material.
		Because his image is so strong, what one associates with Cary Grant is likely to be handsome sophistication, but when you watch the movies, you see it's something else altogether, a skeptical wariness infused with an almost throbbing joie de vivre.
		In his best movies, Grant was rarely more than a minute away from a smile, or a snort, or a dry crack the very understatement of which heightened the joke.

	Becoming Cary Grant
		Now, though, Grant found a novel way to treat women in film: he clearly related to his heroine as a sexually attractive woman—and also as a witty, intelligent, and idiosyncratic one.
		Most important, Grant is the subject of one of the best full-length biographies of a Hollywood actor, the incisive and considered Cary Grant: A Class Apart (1996), by Graham McCann, a Cambridge don.
		But style does betray the man, and looking at Grant’s is a clever way to approach him (as Kael observed, his clothes formed “almost an intrinsic part of the Cary Grant persona”).

	Images - The Glory of Cary Grant
		The figure of Cary Grant was even more open to active, female desire in the genre of screwball comedies than he was in Hitchcock's films.
		once Cary [Grant] looked straight out of a scene and said to Hawks (about something I was trying), "Is she going to do that?" and Hawks left the moment in the picture--Cary's right there on film asking an unseen director about my plans.
		The fact that Hawks left in Grant's appeal for aid demonstrates that the anti-hero's inability to control the screwball heroine is a part of the genre.

		On the night of April 7, 1970, four years after starring in his last feature film, sixty-six-year-old Cary Grant, who had never won an Oscar, was awarded a special noncompetitive Academy Award for his lifetime of achievement in motion pictures.
		At the time virtually everyone connected to the motion picture industry, from set painters, costume makers, and prop men to screenwriters, actors, and directors, was subject to the whims and fancies of the sweatshop mentality of the pioneering generation of Hollywood moguls.
		The first actor to successfully break the hitherto ironclad contract system for performers was Cary Grant, who became a freelance actor-for-hire on a per film basis in 1936, after his original five-year exclusive deal with Paramount expired (as had the studio itself, in its first incarnation as Paramount Publix).
