From: clothesonfilm.com

Savile Row tailors Kilgour provided much of Cary Grant’s wardrobe for North by Northwest . In all probability director Alfred Hitchcock left Grant to his own devices in selecting his ensembles, just as he’d done on To Catch a Thief four years earlier.

Disliking initial design sketches for her look, he escorted Marie Saint to New York’s swanky Bergdorf Goodman department store, personally choosing her outfits right off the racks. She later jokingly referred to Hitch as her ‘one and only sugar daddy’. As for Cary Grant, ... Read Full Story

Cary Grant, Hollywood Leading Man One of the most handsome and sophisticated leading men in Hollywood in the 1930s and 40s, and even into the 50s was Cary Grant. Although we’ve come to know him by his stage name of Cary Grant, he was actually born Archibald Alexander Leach on January 18, 1904 in Bristol, England. His parents were Elsie Maria Kingdom and Elias Leach. His father pressed trousers for a living and the family was quite poor. Grant was an only child. His parents argued frequently, so he escaped every Saturday afternoon to the matinee, enjoying the new phenomenon of motion pictures. Being ... Read Full Story

"Everybody wants to be Cary Grant. Even I want to be Cary Grant."

That immortal line was supposedly spoken by, yes, Cary Grant, who I've got on the mind today. It's a George Clooney weekend at the multiplexes (you can see him in "Up in the Air" and "Men Who Stare at Goats" and hear him in "Fantastic Mr. Fox"), and Clooney's certainly the closest thing we've got these days to Cary Grant.
