dang, i was supposed to remind you! [[but kudos to you: you remembered anyway ^_^]]
thanks for all the cary grant post-age!
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.

Sheila,
This has been a fantastic tribute. I don’t know how you post so much and of such quality. It’s really amazing!

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.
