Cary Grant’s movies tend to be remembered for the actor’s laidback charm and tendency to allow the woman to be the sexually dominant one. This unique quality made Cary Grant appealing to all audiences. However, the star often found himself lost between his public persona and his real identity, saying, “I’ve often been accused by the critics of being myself on screen. But being oneself is more difficult than you’d suppose.”
Without further ado, this is the private life of a Hollywood Golden Age icon, Cary Grant.
