Description:
To many, Cary Grant seemed to have it made. With his charming character, handsome looks, impeccable sense of style, lavish lifestyle, and fame and stardom, he seemed to have a life of luxury. But, Grant’s initial road to success was not an easy journey. Historian, Michelle Gibbons, will discuss Grant’s unstable childhood, his years attending boarding schools, his early years in vaudeville troops, and his pursuit of fame and acting. Gibbons will explain how Grant achieved fame in many of his romantic comedies and Alfred Hitchcock films, including The Awful Truth; Bringing Up Baby; His Girl Friday; Arsenic and Old Lace; Penny Serenade; Suspicion; To Catch a Thief; Indiscreet; and many others.
