my husband would toss the book at me and say no thanks lol I would never buy a book like that for him kinda ridiclous

Can I just take Cary instead! My dad is a fan of his movies and I’ve seen many of them. Opeeration Peticoat is my fav. (No I’m not really old. I just have folks that had me older in their life.) He really was handsome for his time!

I don’t think showing my husband this book would change his fashion sense because he has none and isn’t interested in having any … I’ve tried for 25 years. I’d love to see these pictures though, I’m sure they’re beautiful. He was a handsome, classy man.

I wish more men had this style..the hair,the clothes..a very classy handsome look,Gary Grant had it as well as Clark Gable and alot of the Golden Era Hollywood actors,those men back then knew how to dress. I absolutely love this look on men,the only actor today that even comes close to this style of dressing along with the hair is George Clooney.

cary grant was a great hollywood star and did have that suave and slick appeal to him.

I do think that Cary is a very handsome man for his time. But, if I were to give this mag to my hubby, he’d run and hide. Everytime we have a family get together with my side, all they talk about is movies, old stars and new stars. My dad’s fav line is how he hasn’t seen that old actor in so long and my bro always comes back with that’s b/c he’s dead pop! Then they argrue over who was the better actor and it goes on and on like that. I’m used to but it drives my hubby crazy. So that wouldn’t be a practical gift for him. It would just stir up scarey memories of my family get together! I’d be happy with it myself. I’ve always had a thing for older handsome men!!!

Kelty on February 15th, 2007

He reminds me of George Clooney. Maybe George is the Cary Grant of our time?

A revealing and amusing book about Cary Grant is “Evenings with Cary Grant,” foreword by Barbara and Jennifer Grant. The book is in Grant’s own words and includes exclusive interviews with co-stars and friends such as Audrey Hepburn, Katharine Hepburn, Gregory Peck, James Stewart, Elizabeth Taylor, Louis Jourdan, Burt Reynolds, Quincy Jones, Deborah Kerr, Robert Wagner, Prince Rainier of Monaco (and 150 more). You’ll want to see all his movies after reading this charming book.

cary grant is gorgeous and very stylish
a real man looking man

enigma on February 20th, 2007

Cary Grant, of course, was a sexy, savvy, a gentlemen, and also bi/gay, if you didn’t know that, which added to his special charming ways.

My darling love does not need any help with his style, he is just phine as he is for me! yummy and perfect!

And, does anyone remember Cary Grant’s real name and where is was from!? I know what it is, I am glad Hollywood changed his name…

Cheers!

Cary Grant…it’s so appealing!

Jennifer on April 30th, 2008

Cary Grant was one of a kind, he is far better looking &classier than George Clooney. Part of Grant’s charm was that he was so natural & seemed so unaware of how handsome he was. There is no proof that he was bi or gay ,that is just an old Hollywood rumor & there is no proof at all. He was just a very sexy ,elegant man & a terrific actor

Derrick on November 24th, 2012

yeah i’ll dress like that every day when you ladies start wearing 4 inch steel heeled stillettos, minis skirts, and thigh highs every day. Oh and put out.
