Cary Grant: Screen
built 647 days ago
Grant's first silver-screen role was in 1931, when he appeared in Singapore Sue, but he was not credited. In 1932, Grant made his feature debut in This is the Night. At Mae West's request, he starred opposite her in She Done Him Wrong (1933). That was the beginning of his remarkable film career.

It's probably inevitable that a biography of Cary Grant is going to produce at least some small degree of disillusionment. Throughout his lifetime, Grant tried, if not always successfully, to keep his private life closely guarded, especially by today's standards of celebrity overexposure. But since his death in 1986 he has become fair game for any author willing to dig up the most intimate and unflattering details about the man behind the celebrated screen image. And since that image was one of idealized male perfection, the real man has to suffer by comparison. "Everyone wants to be Cary Grant," he famously said. "Even I want to be Cary Grant."

Until his retirement from the screen in 1966, Grant continued to play romantic leads while other actors of his generation often found themselves cast in supporting roles and character parts. Today Grant's name remains a symbol of the stylish sophistication that was his trademark, and repeated viewings of his films reveal an actor whose ability to delight an audience is timeless.
