Best Answer

Cary Grant (1904-1986) is to this day the finest non-method actor to ever appear in Hollywood productions. He was incredibly subtle and able to adjust to almost any role in his more than thirty years of active work in cinema, spanning from 1932 to 1966. He was the leading actor in about fifty of the seventy two films he appeared in and always tried to help his fellow actors and actresses to look better, perform better.

He is regularly described as beautiful (as beautiful as his leading ladies!), virile, charming, intelligent, knowing, profound, charismatic, debonair, but had no problem to be seen as well as dumb, rascally or equivocal to downright sinister. His first two performances (of four) for director Alfred Hitchcock, those in Suspicion (1941) and the excellent Notorious (1946), are masterly examples of the later, the other two, in To Catch a Thief (1955) and North by Northwest (1959) of his utterly elegance and savoir vivre.

Mr. Grant is as well remembered for his roles in romantic slapstick comedy, as for example in: The Awful Truth (1937), Bringing up Baby (1938) and His Girl Friday (1940), as well as for his purely romantic appearances as in An Affair to Remember (1957).

Unlike most Hollywood stars, his career went remarkably smoothly. In fact, they say that he actually had to go to a psychiatrist because everything was going too well!
