Cary Grant: Katharine Hepburn
built 635 days ago
Of the actors of his generation (Cooper, Gable, Bogart, Taylor, Power), Grant was the least touched by age. Many thought that with years he had become even more attractive. He retained his romantic appeal to the end of his career by appearing opposite much younger actresses: Grace Kelly in "To Catch a Thief", Sophia Loren in"? Houseboat", Eva Marie Saint in "North By Northwest," Audrey Hepburn in "Charade," Leslie Caron in "Father Goose."

Two other ghosts haunt the picture -- Hepburn and Grant. Demme's casting of Newton, whom he directed in "Beloved," is brilliant. With her long neck, lithe body, buckets of charm and strong/fragile beauty, Newton is a new-generation Hepburn. Demme even lets her deliver Hepburn's immortal line to the impossibly handsome, silver-haired Grant: "You know what's wrong with you? Absolutely nothing." Only she says this to Wahlberg, whom Demme calls the "anti-Cary Grant." Wahlberg does take the character in a different direction -- rugged, street-smart, resilient -- but like Grant, he grows quite fond of his role as knight in shining armor, especially when Newton is the lovely lady in distress.
