Archibald Alec Leach (January 18 1904–November 29 1986), better known by his screen name, Cary Grant, was a English-born American film actor. With his distinctive Mid-Atlantic accent, he was noted as perhaps the foremost exemplar of the debonair leading man, handsome, virile, charismatic and charming. He was named the second Greatest Male Star of All Time of American cinema, after Humphrey Bogart, by the American Film Institute.
