News about Cary Grant

It was about 11pm, just before I got into bed, that I heard a ping from my phone. I assumed it was a text from BA cancelling my flight the next day, but it was an answerphone message with the caller ID coming up 'Unknown'. When I listened, I heard a deep, Northern-accented voice saying slowly and deliberately: 'You haven't got back to me. It's been four weeks. I saw you in that shop that one time. Get back to me NOW!' It was extremely unpleasant. Of course I didn't want to speak with this man and, in any case, with his number withheld, it was impossible to return the call.

BRIAN VINER: If I compiled my list again today, I still wouldn't have space for The Italian Job, Forrest Gump, The Great Escape, or Titanic, which all of which encouraged readers to write in. By the way, that doesn't mean I don't like or even love those photos (although not Titanic), which makes me wish the iceberg would strike a bit sooner).

The Shawshank Redemption (left), Mary Poppins (right), and Saving Private Ryan (inset).

For almost a century, the controversy about a matinee idol who once said that "making love is the highest form of exercise" has raged. Grant (pictured inset with his fourth wife) had at least one homosexual love affair, according to a close friend of the actor in his later years.

The Mail can reveal that Alan Yentob's BBC arts series Imagine has been cancelled after 21 years on television. According to reports, the company's executives decided to end the service after it was sent off to be produced by its commercial arm, BBC Studios, but it failed to sell abroad. Mr Yentob, 76, is likely to be 'disappointed' at the decision and will now host one-off specials for the BBC after controller Charlotte Moore didn't fight to save it. According to one source, "The BBC produced it for years and then it was turned over to BBC Studios, but imagine that their programme will not be exported abroad because it wasn't financially viable.

Jennifer Grant, 57, is the only child of the notorious Hollywood lothario, who briefly married Dyan Cannon in the 1960s. Cary Grant, whose real name was Archibald 'Archie' Leach, had four marriages and went through years of therapy dealing with his narcissism and temper. This comes ahead of Grant's debut in a new series called Archie. Archie is based on Cannon's 2011 memoir Dear Cary: My Life With Cary Grant. On the miniseries, both she and her daughter Jennifer were also executive producers. Rumors have circulated about Grant's sexuality, including in the 2015 documentary 'Women He's Undressed', which claims that the actor had a friendship with costume designer Orry-Kelly.

Dyan Cannon, Cary Grant's ex-wife, declared that she is now 'living well,' although also attributing prayer to keeping her'straight' in life. While attending the premiere of the British television series in NYC on Monday, Heaven Can Wait actress 86, whose short-lived marriage to the Hollywood icon is depicted in a new show called Archie, spoke to Page Six about her faith. 'Praying, that's what keeps me straight,' the article reads, adding, "I'm a big God girl."

On the internet, frustrated viewers are encouraged to keep dialing the volume up to hear the chat before nagging for the 'deafening' music and sound effects (SFX). 'Why is the sound all over Archie's Archie's Archie's house? Whether you like it or not.' Jason Isaacs is fab, so it's a shame,' comedian Jenny Eclair posted on X, formerly Twitter.

At least Camilla will not be as curmudgeonly as her predecessor, EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: At least Camilla will not be as curmudgeonly as her predecessor, Philip, as consort. His 95th birthday was held on the same day as the national service at St Paul's for the Queen's 90th anniversary, and he denied calls that it should be a joint commemoration. He turned down a gift from a well-wisher at a garden party, complaining that he didn't want to 'lug it around the garden.'

Arnold Schwarzenegger and John Travolta are among the actresses of her time. And this sarcastic actress was a member of the biggest horror movie franchise in history - the last iteration of the money-making machine was in 2022. Her parents are well-known in Hollywood as well. Her blonde pinup mother was in Psychos, and her handsome father spent time with Marilyn Monroe, Natalie Wood, and Cary Grant. At 65 years old, this Hollywood celebrity is celebrating becoming a senior citizen. Who is she?

By the time Caryan met Dyan in 1962, he had already built up a long list of acting credits and established himself as one of Hollywood's top top performers, but he had also built a reputation as a notorious actor. With three failed marriages under his belt, as well as allegations of abuse, alcoholism, and infidelity surrounding him, it seemed that his and Dyan's relationship was doomed from the start. All of Cary's executives had a similar tale to tell: the heartthrob wooed them with his suave personality, debonair pride, and memorizing charm, but they ultimately preferred Hollywood over family life. So when he started dating Dyan, a budding young star 33 years his junior who was still trying to break into the industry, many wondered: would she be the one to finally tame the famous flirt? FEMAIL has chronicled Dyan's journey from start to finish as the world braces for the debut of a new series based on her memoir about her friendship with the legendary actress.

The 57-year-old actor spotted a 24-year-old blonde in a pink gingham bikini as he sat in his drawing room in Palm Springs, California, watching the 1961 TV series Malibu Run. Jennifer was initially wooed for four years, but she eventually agreed to marry him, and the couple went on to have a child Jennifer in 1966. However, the marriage was bitter, and the two families were divorced two years later. Now, a new ITV series Archie, based on Cannon's biography 'Dear Cary' and Jennifer's book 'Good Stuff,' explores the connection between the silver screen's leading man and the ingénue 33 years his junior. Grant, Arthur Isaacs' appearance as Grant, Gavin and Stacey actress Laura Aikman as Cannon, and Laura Aikman as Cannon appear in a four-part series intersperses scenes from Grant's tragic childhood - his birth name was Archibald Leach - with scenes from his later life.

On Tuesday, photographer photographers caught the actress, who was married to the Hollywood leading man from 1965 to 1968 and then on to become a top movie star in her own right through the 1970s and 1980s in West Hollywood with an unidentified male companion. The 86-year-old lady strolled comfortably, donning a long-sleeved black top and baggy, and white cloth overalls. When she was 28 and he was 64, Dyan tied the knot with English actor Cary in 1965. She published Dear Cary, a memoir that chronicled her friendship with renowned actor Cary and went on to become a New York Times Best Seller in 2011. It's now being made into an ITV miniseries, which she is set to produce.

They were two of the world's most popular couples, with enough glamour between them to rival Hollywood stars of the day, from Cary Grant and Paul Newman to Natalie Wood and Deborah Kerr. So when Elizabeth II and her husband, Prince Philip, entertained US President John F Kennedy and his First Lady, Jackie, at Buckingham Palace in June 1961, the visit piqued unprecedented curiosity. The visit was part of a couple's trip to Europe in the aftermath of JFK's election and his inauguration as a young president in November 1960. The apprehensions were palpable. It was the start of something amazing for the Queen and Philip, as well as other aspects of royal life: its arrival on the international stage as celebrities, an aspect of royal life now so ingrained that it is impossible to remember.

Cary Grant's West Country accent was discarded and he'faked' his mid-Atlantic drawl, according to it. After a tape of a clandestinely recorded interview from 1986 was found, the Hollywood legend's authentic accent would be depicted for the first time in an ITV drama starring Harry Potter actor Jason Isaacs. Archie Leach, a born in 1904 to a working-class Bristolian family, reincarnated himself as American to conceal a painful past and was well-known as a private man who rarely spoke. Nonetheless, Grant volunteered to film student Kent Schuelke in the 1980s, who was making a film about the Hollywood icon, but only if his voice was not recorded. The interview ended up being recorded after Mr Schuelke's companion taped the video without permission.

QUENTIN LETTS: Dame Eleanor Laing, the deputy speaker, shook her head to young Alex Chalk to announce that his debate should proceed. The minister climbed and climbed as he increased. Tall chap. To see him stand is like watching someone unpack an anglepoise lamp or a sunflower regain their position after tying its shoelaces. He was utterly extended and gazed down at the house from such height, a surprise that he did not need an oxygen mask.

I was just about as ill as anyone else when the plane landed in Los Angeles last summer. My marriage to tailor-to-the-stars Doug Hayward was going nowhere, and I'd decided to get away from it all by visiting Sandy, the wife of American singer Tony Bennett, who died last month at the age of 96. Sandy and I were pregnant together when Tony first arrived in London in 1969. Doug made Tony's suit and wanted to take him home for dinner, so the Bennetts spent a lot of time at our Mayfair apartment. Tony was a man of few words, but he kept coming back for my toad in the hole. Sandy was - and remains - one of the funniest people I've ever met. If ever we want to banish a bout of depression, my daughter and I still call her in Las Vegas, where she now lives. We were so excited to get our figures back that we spent a lot of time in London's Bond Street shopping clothes that the boys - Joanna, named after one of Tony's songs, and my lovely Polly - were born just two weeks apart.

Betta St. John, the actress best known for her role in Tarzan and Dream wives, died at the age of 93. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the talented actress of both stage and screen died of natural causes on June 23.

She is perhaps best known for her appearance in Dream Wife, where she played a Middle Eastern princess engaged to a businessman played by Hollywood legend Cary Grant.
