  • Cary Grant
    The suave gentleman with the best timing in Hollywood history​

    But, Grant is also the epitome of style and charm on screen. His story is one of determination, image and conscious shaping of one's own story:

    "He's a completely made-up character and I'm playing a part," Grant would explain. "It's a part I've been playing a long time, but no way am I really Cary Grant. A friend told me once, 'I always wanted to be Cary Grant.' And I said, 'So did I.'"

    How Florenz Ziegfeld Jr. conquered showbiz ​
