It's interesting to note how those who grew up in poverty and eventually became wealthy and successful react to their origins. For example, I remember reading that later in life, even though then very wealthy, Cary Grant would never pick up a check in a restaurant. Someone else had to pay. True or apocryphal? I don't know. I will say that while Grant was known for his comedy and thriller films, he did drama/melodrama very well. Although i saw the film a long time ago, I remember being impressed by his work in Penny Serenade.
I think Cary Grant’s performance in “Penny Serenade” is better than his performance in “None But the Lonely Heart” though I don’t think it’s his fault. I’ve heard and read many rumors about Cary Grant, though not the one you mentioned.
I’m looking forward to exploring his fascinating work and career in this Tuesday series.
