Cary Grant Trivia
|
- According to his will (dated 26th November 1984), his body was to be cremated and no funeral service held. His ashes were scattered in the Pacific Ocean.
- Often spoke of his relationship with Loren as one of the most passionate romances in his life.
- Gifted comedy director Leo McCarey accused him of ripping off his persona during the time that they shot "The Awful Truth" and using it as his own to become world-famous. What McCarey failed to notice was that many aspects of Cary's image were already developed in "Sylvia Scarlett," an otherwise poor Katharine Hepburn-George Cukor picture made 2 years before "The Awful Truth," and that his comic timing and versatility as an actor were all his own. Although ill at ease about it, they collaborated again several times.
- He never said "Judy, Judy, Judy" in the movies, but he did say "Susan, Susan, Susan" in Bringing Up Baby (1938).
- Although he became a Paramount contract player early in his film career, when the contract was up, he made an unusual decision for the time, he decided to freelance. Because his films were so successful at the box office, he was able to work at any studio he chose for the majority of his career.
