Archibald Alexander Leach (January 18, 1904 – November 29, 1986), better known by his screen name, Cary Grant, was an English-born American film actor. He was perhaps the foremost exemplar of the debonair leading man, not only handsome, but also witty and charming.
Early life and career
Archie Leach was born in Horfield, Bristol, England. An only child (before he was born his parents had had another son who died in infancy), Archie had a confused and unhappy childhood. His mother, Elsie, was placed in a mental institution when he was ten. His father (who later had a relationship with another woman, with whom he had a son), never told him the truth, and he only learned in 1935 that she was still alive, in an institution.
This left Leach/Grant with an insecurity in his relations with women and a secretiveness about his inner life. These insecurities, by his own admission, led him to crave applause and attention and to create a new persona that would attract it. After being expelled from Fairfield Grammar School in Bristol in 1918 (for investigating the girls' bathroom), he joined the Bob Pender stage troupe. Grant traveled with the troupe to the United States in 1920 for a two-year tour; when the troupe returned to Britain, Grant decided to stay in the U.S.
