Yep, happy birthday, Mr. Leach.

The pictures you've assembled--the two that stand out most to me are the one from Charade and the one with Hepburn standing on his shoulders. Look at his expression in the Charade picture: to me, he looks like he'd rather be just about anywhere than crouched down there with a pistol and Audrey Hepburn hanging off him, but he puts himself--with full knowledge--manfully in harm's way.

The "tumbling" photo I like because they're both so unself-conscious in it, it makes them even better-looking than they are in made-up and posed shots.

My $.02, probably worth more for the scrap value of the copper.

Ken - I totally agree that that tumbling photo is awesome - you can tell he's really laughing (the little double chin that comes out) - it's a very sweet friendly picture.

Sheila,
This has been a fantastic tribute. I don't know how you post so much and of such quality. It's really amazing!
By the way, I voted for your blog - I would have voted more than once but it won't let you. Perhaps I'll spend the weekend starting up 100 or so fake name gmail accounts so I can stuff the ballot box.

Jonathan - hahahahahaha Stuff that ballot box! Thanks for the support!

I had to stop my tribute (because, naturally, I could have gone on) - because, you know, the sun was shining, and I had to go join the human race.

But man. Cary Grant is the best, ain't he?? I never get sick of that guy. Never.
