My sister and I had tickets to see him that very evening. We were heartbroken. He was such an iconic man. We loved him.

[@lizbohan5426]

When I was travelling via Miami airport back to London after a holiday in 1981 I spotted Cary Grant striding through the terminal. Our eyes met and he gave me a really wonderful smile. He obviously realised I recognised him. A special moment! Probably 8 years or so before he died. Still A very handsome man!

Thank you Jordon loved your tribute and taking your audience to where these actual events happened I love the actual places I live that . I’m a huge Cary Grant fan thank you Jordan I love your work have a great 2024.

[@jasonmcgovern1364]

Hi Jordan, Cary Grant is a favorite of mine from the old silver screen. Cary was a good looking guy who aged gracefully and always looked distinguished. When you think of the actors he worked with, just amazing. They don't make actors like him anymore. Great vlog Jordan.

[@HamboneSupafly]

Thanks for sharing this. My mom and grandma were at that show and said it was completely heartbreaking when they came out and announced his death.

[@Hevynly1]

It's SO rare that I ever hear anyone tell the true story about him living with Randolph Scott. Most people stop at that point to infer innuendo and leave out the fact that their house was known to be akin to a train station with the amount of women arriving and departing. Those 2 were the OG playas. Nice job, as always, Jordan!

[@SmartStart24]

Yeah I never understood why two men couldn’t live together?? Or was it at their age they were supposed to be married/have families?

[@mariaday712]

He was such a debonaire man. Great actor. Rest in peace Cary. Thanks, Jordan, for telling us his wonderful story. You and Jah stay safe

Cary Grant along with Jimmy Stewart, Humphrey Bogart, Clark Gable, Spencer Tracy, William Powell, Errol Flynn and many more, helped make the Golden Era of Hollywood. RIP, Gentlemen!

Strange how you would leave out the actresses of this heralded Golden Age era of Hollywood. There's a reason why they are more revered today as screen Goddesses than the leading man. Barbara Stanwyck, Bette Davis, Olivia de Havilland, Lana Turner, Marilyn Monroe, Joan Crawford, Katharine Hepburn, Grace Kelly and many more etc all played their part and were vastly more interesting to look at beyond their incredible acting skills.

I enjoyed the video. I lived in Davenport at the time of Cary Grant's passing. I still have many friends and family there. Seeing The Adler made me homesick. One thing I wanted to mention is the location of St. Luke's Hospital was not by Palmer Chiropractic College. It was located where the current. The Genesis East Hospital is today. The name of St. Luke's Hospital was changed to Genesis East. Same location. I do remember the night this all happened it was very sad.

[@papaechozulu3737]

Was going to mention that, good video though, I wish he could've gotten into The Adler, it's been beautifully restored highlighting its art deco style,

[@joleenjansen]

I agree that was not the location of the hospital. I worked at St Luke's at that time and was on shift in the lab when Cary died. It was a very sad night.

[@katesleuth1156]

Thanks for a great video on the iconic Cary Grant, a Bristol-born English-American actor. When he was famous he was often seen around Bristol. England, and a relative once bumped into Cary at Bristol Hospital as well as a little traffic mishap with him. Apparently he was a perfect gentleman.

[@orangefacedbuddah1776]

great story,he never really left bristol .Humble man,great man.Who do we have to come close to these greats,who??.

I read Dyan Cannon’s book and she spoke of his LSD use and suggested she try it. She did and was not a fan of it. It’s a really good book, she didn’t bash him. Cary was definitely a huge favorite from that Golden Era. Miss them all 😊 Good Vlog👍🏻

[@lisahaferkamp2705]

Cary Grant is my all time favorite actor! Three of my favorites are “Father Goose”, “An Affair to Remember” and “That Touch of Mink”. He was such a man’s man and had such style and grace. He will forever be a legend in Hollywood.

[@orangefacedbuddah1776]

well said.

[@katrinacool]

I'm a huge fan of Cary Grant and know so much about him that I am glad you shared your knowledge with everyone. Sadly he never won an Academy Award - probably because he was so good and so naturally charming in every role he played. I also loved him in Arsenic and Old Lace but I love him in his Hitchcock films as well as those marvelous screwball comedies of the late 1930's. He may have been born British but he is an American Icon- a beloved treasure that no one will ever imitate. Thank you Jordan! ☺️🥰☀️😍❤️😊🌴🦩

[@rivaridge7211]

Mr. Grant was awarded a special Oscar in 1970, based on his very long and distinguished Hollywood career.

[@katrinacool]

@@rivaridge7211 yes but he didn't win a competitive award. Neither did a lot of actors who deserved to be recognized by the Academy.

[@rivaridge7211]

@@katrinacool Yes Katrina, I would certainly agree with you. My biggest gripe against the "Academy" is how (to my mind) one of the greatest actors of the 20th Century, and a seven-times Oscar nominee, would never score a win. Of course, I am referring to Richard Burton. Cheers and thanks for your good thoughts on Mr. Grant!

[@katrinacool]

[@BoomerBlogging]

Cary Grant defined what being a "Movie Star" was all about. Such a humble begining and ending to what is argueably Hollywoods biggest Movie Star - a bygone part of Hollywoods Golden era. Only one other name - in my books - that I would have loved to meet face to face other than Cary Grant - that being Elvis.

Jordan - I am so very appreciative to you for making this video. I adored Cary Grant and have every movie, biography, etc ..When I was lucky enough to go to Hollywood years ago, all I mainly wanted to do was see his star on the walk of fame and see his hand and feet prints in the Grauman's Chinese Theater's courtyard. I wish that perhaps there could at least be a centograph (sp?) somewhere in Hollywood for him. I would like to travel to Bristol one day and see the statue they have there for him. A truly underated dramatic/ comedic actor and a class act, through and through. Thank you for this gem, Jordan. You made my day. Blessings - Judith 🎭🎵

It's easier for me to list his films I don't care for - and HE was never The Issue... and frankly, his presence lets me rewatch those. 1957's PRIDE AND THE PASSION... 1946's NIGHT AND DAY (biopix of Cole Porter)... 1940's HOWARDS OF VIRGINIA... I haven't seen many of his pre-1933 films because they weren't preserved or put onto home-video.

I recently visited the oldest music hall in the world. The Britannia in Glasgow Scotland. They said Gary Grant started out there as a juggler and acrobat. He went to states and one day Mae West was moaning about the leading men she was getting and looking out the window said why can’t I get a man like that? He was called in and the test history.

Sadly, there are only a few short audio only recordings that were made of these shows, some which have been posted on KZbin.
