WHY CARY GRANT NEVER WROTE HIS AUTOBIOGRAPHY on Astini News
Writer Arthur Axelman of The Wrap web site recounts a memorable conversation he had with Cary Grant when he was a young agent in 1974. Axelman tried to persuade the legendary star to commit to writing his autobiography but Grant kept refusing, saying his life was too boring. It reminds one of the scene of Grant playing Roger Thornhill in North By Northwest. He finds himself climbing down Mount Rushmore with murderous villains in pursuit. Hanging from the edifice, Eva Marie Saint's Eve asks him why his two former wives divorced him. Thornhill replies, "I think they said I lead too dull of a life!" The fact that Grant could be dismissive of his own career indicates there was plenty of the fictional Roger Thornhill in him. Click here for more.
