ΣΑΝ ΣΗΜΕΡΑ. ΚΑΡΥ ΓΚΡΑΝΤ

Cary Grant (18/1/1904-29/11/1986)


Cary Grant & Randolf Scott (1935)



Bringing up baby. A 1930s romantic comedy starring Cary Grant playing a disgruntled
paleontologist and Katharine Hepburn playing a troublesome heiress.
When Susan takes David's clothing he is forced to wear a negligee and answer the door. Here
he meets Mrs. Random, the woman he was supposed to make a good impression on so
she would give the money to the museum. Argueablely this is the first film where the
word "gay" had been used to describe homosexuals (at the time homosexuals had called
themselves that but it hadn't gone mainstream) in a film. This was an ad-libbed line
that Cary threw into the scene.

Τι ωραίος άντρας. Και πως τα κατάφερε να περάσει κάτι τέτοιο εκείνη την εποχή :-)

Στην πραγματικότητα η σχέση Grant-Scott διαφημίστηκε την εποχή εκείνη σαν η συγκατοίκηση δυο εργένηδων.
Στη συνέχεια ο Κάρυ Γκραντ έκανε... 5 γάμους.

Πάντως στη wikipedia διαβάζουμε:

Grant was allegedly involved with costume designer Orry-Kelly when he first moved to Manhattan, and lived with Randolph Scott off and on for twelve years. Richard Blackwell wrote that Grant and Scott were "deeply, madly in love", and alleged eyewitness accounts of their physical affection have been published. Hedda Hopper and screenwriter Arthur Laurents have also alleged that Grant was bisexual, the latter writing that Grant "told me he threw pebbles at my window one night but was luckless".Alexander D'Arcy, who appeared with Grant in The Awful Truth, said he knew that he and Scott "lived together as a gay couple", adding: "I think Cary knew that people were saying things about him. I don't think he tried to hide it." The two men frequently accompanied each other to parties and premieres and were unconcerned when photographs of them cozily preparing dinner together at home were published in fan magazines.
