Happy Birthday Archibald Leach!

Most likely, you skipped over this day last week without realizing it, but January 18 was a movie star's birthday! Happy Birthday, Archibald Leach!

Well, you'd probably know him better from his stage name, Cary Grant.



Check out his fan site at http://www.carygrant.net/. It's got photos, facts, puzzles, wallpaper, and all kinds of other fun resources.

Here are some of his best films, as well as some books about him. These can all be found in the Lackawanna County Library System.

Movies
Arsenic and Old Lace (my personal favorite)
The Awful Truth
The Philadelphia Story
North by Northwest
His Girl Friday
Bringing Up Baby

Books
Cary Grant: Dark Angel by Geoffrey Wansell (illustrated with over 150 photos)
Dear Cary: My Life with Cary Grant by Dyan Cannon (written by one of his wives)
Good Stuff: A Reminisce of My Father, Cary Grant by Jennifer Grant (written by his daughter)
Cary Grant: A Celebration of Style by Richard Torregrossa
