Nov 23, 1933 - Los Angeles, CA, USA - British-born actor CARY GRANT (born Archibald Leach) with his future wife VIRGINIA CHERRILL before leaving to England. Grant escaped his humble Bristol environs and unstable home life by joining an acrobatic troupe, where he became a stilt-walker. Numerous odd jobs kept him going until he tried acting, and, after moving to the United States, he managed to lose his accent, developing a clipped mid-Atlantic speaking style uniquely his own. He was noted as perhaps the foremost exemplar of the debonair leading man, handsome, witty and charming. He was named the second Greatest Male Star of All Time of American cinema by the American Film Institute. Los Angeles USA - ZUMAk09
