Cary Grant: Life Story (Jerry Skinner Documentary)

[@bernadetteflynn5005]

Apart from being so handsome and a great actor, he was just so likeable. Can’t imagine anyone disliking him.

[@helloitsme98]

@@catherinelw9365 I recently read Cary Grant: The Lonely Heart by Charles Higham and Roy Moseley - they detail his gayness and shabby treatment of his wives - do you have something to contribute - hey I too am a fan of his.

[@carolbeville733]

I love Cary Grant. He set the bar as an actor to be classy, handsome, down to earth and humorous. So many good qualities in this man. RIP.

[@pennysebanc4200]

What a generous human being....I like him even more!

[@johnredhd]

I live in Davenport, Iowa just about 6 blocks from St. Luke's Hospital (now called Genesis East). I remember distinctly the evening he died. What an incredibly charming and talented man.

[@dianneheimendinger554]

John W I lived in the area too...everyone was saddened that nite...of all places to pass away seemed so out of place at the time.

[@lindahh798]

What a life he had! One can only imagine that as a young person growing up, the many bridges he had to cross. What a generous man he was!!! He helped alot of people and never wanted it exposed. I read Jennifer's book about her Dad and the admiration for each other was heart-warming.

[@rochelleholliday1087]

Love this mini documentary. Cary Grant is my favorite actor. He personified class and sophistication. A TRUE ladies man. There will never be another Cary Grant!!!

[@joanrosseel5111]

I love him my whole life. Thanks for a great tribute to a great man and a great actor!

[@Wildmutationblu]

I've always loved watching Cary Grant movies on t.v. growing up and he has been my favorite actor for as long as I remember. So sophisticated.

[@auntkaz422]

I had no idea his childhood was so awful. How amazing that he turned into the charming man he was!

[@santanuchanda]

This is better to watch than the movies that are made in this day and age . Jerry Skinner's voice underlines my feelings.

[@timothyknights303]

I love all his movie! I also think that he was so smooth an actor that he will never be forgotten, real talent was Cary Grant 💞

[@nhmooytis7058]

Hands down the handsomest most charming actor to ever grace the silver screen! Classy, sexy, romantic, funny, he had it all. And could play drama too--Notorious, Mr Lucky; the end of An Affair To Remember when he realizes Terry is crippled always makes me cry. I had a chance to hear him speak in San Francisco but didn't go, and he died soon after. Always regretted not going :(. My favorite of all his roles is as Johnny Case in Holiday with Kate Hepburn. Second, a 3 way tie between Nicky Ferrante in Affair, Roger Thornhill in North By Northwest and Brian Cruikshank in Charade.

[@scottjones9187]

It sounds like he was a very caring and very complex person I didn't know he did that much for the war effort. He's always been one of my favorite actors. Thank you very much Jerry..

[@berndejesus4656]

I never and will never ever get tired of watching Cary Grant's movies, a true gentleman and a treasure of the silver screen, thank you Cary for all those memories.

[@misottovoce]

Thank you for posting this wonderful video about his life. A legend. So handsome, so charming and a wonderful actor. Loved by all. Sigh.

[@lennylenn4009]

We will NEVER see any other human being like him again. A true Old Hollywood Legend and movie star!

[@jackiemcmeekin6551]

Thank you Jerry for this informative portrait of a fine actor! Cary did not have a good children. It is amazing how he got to the U.S. He was self educated and studied to become a great actor. I have seen so many of his movies. What a handsome man. He should have won an Oscar or a Golden Globe. He was so versatile. He could do romantic roles, dramatic roles or comedy. RIP Cary. I will never forget you!!!

[@pooperscooper9176]

Coming from the Bristol area myself, I know how proud folk are of there as they call him the son of Bristol. This is so interesting I had no idea of his difficult upbringing and can relate to it myself. Thanks for this beautifully done documentary.

[@robincarter8003]

i COULD LISTEN TO JERRY NARRATE A STORY ALL DAY. CARY GRANT WAS A VERY HANDSOME MAN AND A GREAT ACTOR.

[@Arwar555]

Great respect for him for the way he looked after his mother in the latter years!

[@susanswegel6344]

Love Cary Grant! I used to watch his movies with my mother. I just watched Houseboat this afternoon. What an interesting life he had led. Just SO beautifully delicious! Movies are not the same today....

[@jeaniechowdhury6739]

What a beautiful charming man. He is timeless.

[@pmafterdark]

A sad upbringing but what a class act and great actor. Always loved his work. Definitely a better era of Hollywood.

[@sizableone1]

Wonderful actor, one of my all time favorites.....Magical in the "Bishops Wife".

[@cherylwyatt909]

I always loved Cary Grant. I cried all the way through "Penny Seranade." I laughed all the way through "Mr. Blending Builds his dream house." Mr. GRANT was such a true gentleman. I miss still today.

[@rosemarie741]

Excellent biography of his life, he was always one of my favorites. I loved to hear him speak.

[@gracen888]

Thank you, this is a lovely tribute to a great iconic actor! He is such a gentlemantle and kind hearted soul. I love the fact that he took care of his mother upon learning of her condition. The rumor of him being gay? Gay or bi or straight, it doesn't matter, in the end, he lived a life with dignity and grace.

[@TITOFROG1]

Thanks for your kind words about Cary Grant. He is dead and cannot defend his reputation. Nonetheless, what does it matter to anyone if it's true or not. He was a decent, generous, humble and respectable guy. That's what matters most in a human being. He gave us all a good lasting impression. May he rest in peace.

[@ellygreaves9793]

Well, now that I have finished sniffling and sobbing, I will say that was lovely. Cary was such a kind man and made so many people happy. He had a bad beginning but, thankfully he managed to change that and do so much good for others. What is most significant is that he made sure he was a good Father, even through divorce. You do so much good as well Jerry, thank you for all you do and all the pleasure you bring to us. Love to you and your family with big hugs. :))

Cary Grant was one of my favorite leading men of aaa times. I'm 48 now. Til this day I watch his movies. In a lot of his films you could see some of his acrobatics he did in the early days. Such a beautiful man indeed. He didn't get the credit he deserved in Hollywood. I'm sure he didn't lose sleep over it. He was also a great poppa to Jennifer. A leading man til the end in my book. Miss you Mr. Crant.

Mr. Skinner, I was disappointed that you did not mention the 1963 movie Charade, with Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant. It was a fantastic mystery- thriller and romantic comedy with an all-star cast including Walter Matthau, James Coburn, George Kennedy, Ned Glass and more. There was great chemistry between Grant and Hepburn

[@elizabethbrauer1118]

It has been 37 years and one day since Cary's death (11/30/2023). There are very few actors that worked for 30+ years and still had the ability to captivate an audience. He also became one of the first actors to break free of his studio contract and work independently. I can think of no one, with the _possible_ exception of George Clooney, who comes close to Cary's style or grace. Favorite movies: Holiday, Philadelphia Story, Notorious. RIP CG ❣ Thank you for this great bio. ❣

Thank you. So sad to learn about him believing his mother left him, then finding out - 20 years later - that she was alive and institutionalized. You so very well personalize the folks you highlight, and make the biggest stars seem as human as the rest of us - which allows us to empathize with them. Always appreciate the love with which you present these.

It was the only good movie we had for several years and we still love it!
