That Dapper Gent
There is nothing sexier than a classy gentleman. A suave, clean-shaven man, in a crisp expensive suit, who treats you like a princess and isn't afraid to be a goofball.
He is every woman's Mr. Right. Am I right?
Do your job and demand your compensation - but in that order.
I suddenly found my articulate self in a dazzling land of smiling, jostling people wearing and not wearing all sorts of costumes and doing all sorts of clever things. And that's when I knew! What other life could there be but that of an actor?
It takes 500 small details to add up to one favorable impression.
Everyone wants to be Cary Grant. Even I want to be Cary Grant.
The most difficult thing is to be yourself - especially when you know it`s going to be seen immediately by 300 million people.
I think that making love is the best form of exercise.
Ah, beware of snobbery; it is the unwelcome recognition of one's own past failings.
Mostly, we have manufactured ladies -- with the exception of Ingrid, Grace, Deborah and Audrey.
It`s important to know where you've come from so that you can know where you're going. I probably chose my profession because I was seeking approval, adulation, admiration and affection.
Everyone tells me I've had such an interesting life, but sometimes I think it's been nothing but stomach disturbances and self-concern.
If I had known then what I know now, if I had not been so utterly stupid, I would have had a hundred children and I would have built a ranch to keep them on.

I adore his style (who doesn't?) but even more his self deprecating sense of humor. Lovely post Jenny. Interestingly, I was at the local bookstore yesterday and checked out the new book by Dyan Cannon who was his last wife I believe. There were some great pics of the older Cary Grant. He loved their daughter apparently. Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
I totally agree! When I was a little girl, I used to sing ZZ Top's "Sharp Dressed Man" and I thought sharp gentleman like that were "sexy"(or at least sexy in little girl terms lol)
Can't agree more on this one...I adore Cary Grant... :)
He is definitely handsome! :)
Adore Cary Grant

He was the perfect gentleman. He was unbelievably handsome in black and white movies. Love him. I have seen almost all his movies.

I love him. So good looking and so well dressed. Guys really need to make more effort! Love the quote.
I can't look at Cary Grant like that because my dad looks EXACTLY like him (well, except he's Indian). And he gave me his cleft chin. THANKS. (Not nearly as attractive on a woman.)
I love him, and I really love to watch movies with him! He has impeccable style!
Happy New Year darling, bets wishes!
kisses

I loved the quotes. He seems like he was a very interesting guy!
It looks like he didn't take himself too seriously...and how many people in his line of work can we really say that about? It's really refreshing!
ps. I probably don't have to tell you this but....very jealous of your Christmas tights haul....very jealous.
I'm so with you, Jen -- I adore Cary Grant! Every girl should have one, no?

I've always had a very special place in my heart (or someplace else) for Cary Grant, but I actually know very little about him. Damn was he sexy though!
I am soooooooo in love with Cary Grant.

This was just lovely! I of course have only known Cary Grant as an actor a gorgeous one at that but this post has let me get to know him as a person. I must say he is simply wonderful and seems very genuine.
You always seem to find the human in these stars/starlets. I love that.
hahaha I love these posts of yours!
I LOVE his last quote!
love the black and whites
This is hilariously perfect! I've been watching nothing but old Cary Grant movies since Christmas and here you are writing a post about him! Love it! You really captured his je ne sais quoi!
I am loving his words. He was a manly man!!! He had great style and was a hell of an actor. :D
