How did Cary Grant get famous?
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).
Cary Grant (born Archibald Alexander Leach) was born in Bristol England. He was raised by schools and ignored by his parents. It was not a childhood to brag about.
What accent did Cary Grant have?
Cary Grant was from the U.K., but did not have a traditional British accent. That is one of the things that make Cary Grant unique - his accent was all his own.
What kind of crop duster bi plane chased Cary grant in North by Northwest?
The airplane that chased Cary Grant was a world war 2 training aircraft called a Boeing Stearman. After the war ended, many were bought as surplus and converted to do crop dusting. Most, including the one in movie, also had larger, more powerful engines installed also, to increase the load that the plane could carry.

In the movie, the "intercostal clavicle" was a piece of a bone taken from an archeological dig and sent to Cary Grant's character to complete the reproduced dinosaur construction of a "brontosaurus" he was building in the museum in which he worked.
In actuality, "intercostal clavicle" is a fictitious bone invented by the screenwriters from two actual medical terms. The first (intercostal) means "between the ribs" and the second (clavicle) is a bone found in some mammals just above the ribs extending out towards the shoulder. It's purpose is to connect the arm to the torso in such a way that the arms can hang freely.
Together, they would imply that the clavicle bone of a brontosaurus somehow runs between one or more of its ribs. This would be painful to say the least and would possibly interfere with the creature's ability to breathe while it's arms were in motion. Further, the brontosaurus would have no need for specifically a clavicle as their arms never actually hang free (it walked on all fours) and bones of this nature would snap under the weight (33 tons). The brontosaurus' arms (read front legs) mount directly to massive hip-like bones that form their shoulders.
There is no such dinosaur as a brontosaurus (means "thunder lizard") -- a name originally used incorrectly to describe several species of sauropod dinosaurs which passed into popular culture. As a paleontologist, Cary Grant's character would have known that and referred to his dinosaur as an Apatosaurus (means "deceptive lizard"). The screenwriters (who were not scientists) were probably unaware of this distinction.
A little bit of movie magic; still funny despite the flaws.
The 1983 version of "A Christmas Story" was an original work based upon the writings of Jean Shepherd.
Cary Grant never made a film with the word 'Christmas' in the title.
