I’ve been following Doc Love’s advice for about a half a year. He has a great weekly show about dating advice and how to be a man. He wrote a bit about Cary Grant in his book The System and also speaks highly of him as the greatest actor of all time. If you spoke with your mother who grew up in the 50s or back further to your grandmothers about him they’d relate and smile that he truly was “The Perfect Gentleman.”
I thought what gives? …And why is he such a cultural icon from the 20th century? I was puzzled how women wished all men were a gentleman like him.
So! I did a little research on wiki about Cary Grant whose real name is Archibald Leach. He grew up in England with psycho parents that split when he was very young. One institutionalized and the other an alcoholic.
As an up-and-coming British actor, Cary decides to start plays in the States in the 30s and then goes onto the big screen. He goes on to become one of the biggest stars of all times. He starred in movies with Hepburn and later becomes the creation inspiration of Ian Flemming’s James Bond character. Alfred Hitchc0ck didn’t appreciate all his actors and actresses, but confessed that Cary Grant was the only he liked. Weird.
The enigma to me is that off screen in his personal life he goes through five marriages before dying of a stroke in the late 80s at 82. He had an on and off rumored gay life with an actor Randolf Scott for 12 years while in marriages. To me, this guy sounds like a freak...
Doc says to study him carefully on screen and take notes for his witty wry come back humor when dealing with women and their often disrespecting behavior. He keeps it light and funny in order to maintain a backbone against manipulation and other tactics. Also noted that he was one of the greatest seducers on screen. The guy had to be one those top 3%ers aka Naturals who pulled all the time.
I want to pick up the flicks and study the character like I did with all the old Bond films (especially Sean Connery as Bond) that taught me quite a bit about body language, vocal tonality, pauses, class, and whit. Just being careful of what I let influence me.http://www.worldsuccessalliance.com/forums/images/smilies/cool.gif
Have any of you guys seen any of his old movies? The big classics were North by Northwest, His Girl Friday and The Philadelphia Story.
