Cary Grant, born Archibald Leach, was the consummate actor. He was the man every other man wanted to be . . . and every woman wanted to be with.

Not only did he possess one of the most handsome faces to ever grace the silver screen, he was also a highly diverse actor, excelling in both dramatic and comic roles.

Grant shone in darkly mysterious roles: the elegant, polished exterior masking a more primal, dangerous, and sensual nature.

Although he had been reinvented in the classic style of the Hollywood studio system, he never forgot nor denied his humble origins in Bristol, England's working class. He became Cary Grant, but he always remained Archie Leach.

To the rest of us, he is . . . unforgettable.
