Cary Grant (born Archibald Alec Leach; January 18, 1904 – November 29, 1986) was an English-American actor, known as one of classic Hollywood's definitive leading men. He began a career in Hollywood in the early 1930s, and became known for his transatlantic accent, debonair demeanor, and light-hearted approach to acting and sense of comic timing. He became an American citizen in 1942.

In the 1940s and 1950s, Grant forged a working relationship with the director Alfred Hitchcock, appearing in films such as 'Suspicion' (1941), 'Notorious' (1946), 'To Catch a Thief' (1955) and 'North by Northwest' (1959). Hitchcock admired Grant and considered him to have been the only actor that he had ever loved working with. Towards the end of his film career, Grant was praised by critics as a romantic leading man, and received five Golden Globe Award for Best Actor nominations, including 'Indiscreet' (1958) with Ingrid Bergman, 'That Touch of Mink' (1962) with Doris Day, and 'Charade' (1963) with Audrey Hepburn.

Grant was married five times; three of his marriages were elopements with actresses, Virginia Cherrill (1934-1935), Betsy Drake (1949-1962) and Dyan Cannon (1965-1968). He has one daughter with Cannon, Jennifer Grant (born 1966). His other two wives were: Barbara Hutton (1942-1945) and Barbara Harris (1981-1986).
