Mae West: Cary Grant

Though he made a few films before hooking up with MAE WEST, Cary Grant was still an unknown in 1932. Seeking a debonair male lead, the actress spotted him at Paramount Pictures, and told her producers, "If he can talk, I'll take him."

• • Archibald Alexander Leach [18 January 1904 – 29 November 1986] - - better known by his screen name, Cary Grant - - was an English film actor. With his distinctive Mid-Atlantic accent, he was perhaps the foremost exemplar of the debonair leading man: tall, dark, handsome, witty, and charming. He was named the second Greatest Male Star of All Time by the American Film Institute.
