Cary Grant once asked for room service while staying at a hotel, and when he opened the door, the young man delivering the room service was shocked and gasped, “Jesus Christ”. Without missing a beat, Cary responded with: “No. Cary Grant.”

“I appeared with many leading men. But working with Cary Grant was different from working with other actors - he was much more fun! I think we were a successful team because we enjoyed working together tremendously, and that pleasure must have shown through onto the screen … I will always remember two compliments he made me. He said I had perfect timing in comedy and that I was the sweetest-smelling actress he ever worked with.” —Irene Dunne
