Cary Grant (1904-1986) was an English-American actor, known for his transatlantic accent, debonair demeanor, light-hearted approach to acting, and sense of comic timing. He was a popular male actor during the 1940s and 1950s.

During the 1940s and 1950s, Grant worked with director Alfred Hitchcock, who cast him in several films, such as "Suspicion" (1941) with Joan Fontaine, "Notorious" (1946) with Ingrid Bergman, and "To Catch a Thief“ (1955) with Grace Kelly.

"Suspicion" and "Notorious", the latter his first pairing with Ingrid Bergman, both involved Grant showing a darker nature of characters. Yet, toward the end of his career, Grant was praised by critics as a romantic leading man.

He received five nominations for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor, including "Indiscreet" (1958) with Ingrid Bergman, "That Touch of Mink" (1962) with Doris Day, and "Charade" (1963) with Audrey Hepburn. He is remembered for his handsome looks and suave demeanor.

Grant was married five times, three of them elopements with actresses: Virginia Cherrill (1934–1935), Betsy Drake (1949–1962), and Dyan Cannon (1965–1968). He retired from acting in 1966 and died of a stroke on November 29, 1986 in Davenport, Iowa, aged 82.
