From thrillers to romantic comedies, British-born Cary Grant starred in some of the very finest films to have come out of Hollywood. Grant is the epitome of the urbane, sophisticated Hollywood actor. His charisma and comedic persona have survived the passing of time better than many comparable icons of the industry’s “Golden Age.” A definitive leading man, Grant was known for a mixture of both comedic and dramatic roles. Despite two previous nominations, he was finally awarded an Honorary Oscar in 1970 (which was presented by his dear friend Frank Sinatra).
