There was something so earnest about the guy, I couldn\u2019t help but fall for him.

I guess it\u2019s just who makes me feel all warm and cozy inside, or light-headed and bubbly inside, or hot and bothered inside (more on this one at a later date\u2026). What it comes down to for me is who I would watch in anything, and I mean anything\u2026no matter how bad or stupid or end-of-career pathetic it is.\u00a0 Also, would I or do I own a picture of this person.

First, there is and always will be <a title=\"Errol Flynn\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/findresults_actor.asp?search=Errol+Flynn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Errol Flynn<\/a>. Hello, gorgeous! From his chiseled features and mischievous smile, to his toned physique and swashbuckling prowess, no one compares to Flynn (and no one wears tights better.)<\/p>\n<p>I was about 13 when I first saw <a title=\"The Adventures of Robin Hood\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/product.asp?sku=D44859&amp;loc=buzzsearch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">The Adventures of Robin Hood<\/a>, and it was love at first sight.

Flynn also played \u201creal\u201d characters in such little-seen gems as <a title=\"Four\u2019s A Crowd\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/product.asp?sku=D02265&amp;loc=buzzsearch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Four\u2019s A Crowd<\/a>, a screwball comedy with de Havilland and <a title=\"Rosalind Russell\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/findresults_actor.asp?search=Rosalind+Russell\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Rosalind Russell<\/a>, and one of my personal favorites, Cry Wolf, a neat little thriller that co-stars <a title=\"Barbara Stanwyck \" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/findresults_actor.asp?search=Barbara+Stanwyck+\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Barbara Stanwyck<\/a> (more on her later).<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_12872\" style=\"width: 243px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviefanfare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/COOPER-GARY.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12872\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12872   \" title=\"COOPER, GARY\" src=\"http:\/\/www.moviefanfare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/COOPER-GARY-233x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"233\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onecinephile.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/COOPER-GARY-233x300.jpg 233w, https:\/\/onecinephile.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/COOPER-GARY.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 233px) 100vw, 233px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-12872\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gary Cooper and Barbara Stanwyck Ball of Fire<\/p><\/div>\n<p>After Flynn came &#8220;ooper, dooper&#8221; <a title=\"Gary Cooper\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/findresults_actor.asp?search=Gary+Cooper\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Gary Cooper<\/a> (yes, the Gary Cooper who\u2019s dead.)

A woman can\u2019t have an innocent crush on another woman? Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I give you Sharon Stone as exhibit A.).<\/p>\n<p>Most people probably remember an older Cooper as stoic Marshal Will Kane in <a title=\"High Noon\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/product.asp?sku=D50832&amp;loc=buzzsearch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">High Noon<\/a>, but I prefer him in other varied roles \u2013 the pixilated titular character in <a title=\"Mr. Deeds Goes to Town\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/product.asp?sku=D16099&amp;loc=buzzsearch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Mr. Deeds Goes to Town<\/a>, a retiring Lou Gehrig in <a title=\"The Pride of the Yankees\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/product.asp?sku=D13601&amp;loc=buzzsearch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">The Pride of the Yankees<\/a>,\u00a0 the &#8220;everyman&#8221; in <a title=\"Meet John Doe\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/product.asp?sku=D21970&amp;loc=buzzsearch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Meet John Doe<\/a>, and a cowboy in The Westerner. My dad and I used to talk about films and actors all the time. We could talk about anyone objectively. Except Gary Cooper. He used to say that Cooper was the only actor who never \u201cacted,\u201d he was just being himself.\u00a0 I, of course, argued against this, very subjectively. It was ongoing. I don\u2019t know if he really felt that way or he was just teasing me. Either way, it\u2019s a treasured memory.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_12873\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviefanfare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/GRANT-CARY1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12873\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12873\" title=\"GRANT, CARY1\" src=\"http:\/\/www.moviefanfare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/GRANT-CARY1-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onecinephile.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/GRANT-CARY1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/onecinephile.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/GRANT-CARY1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/onecinephile.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/GRANT-CARY1-32x32.jpg 32w, https:\/\/onecinephile.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/GRANT-CARY1-64x64.jpg 64w, https:\/\/onecinephile.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/GRANT-CARY1-96x96.jpg 96w, https:\/\/onecinephile.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/GRANT-CARY1-128x128.jpg 128w, https:\/\/onecinephile.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/GRANT-CARY1.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-12873\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cary Grant - Bringing Up Baby<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Next is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviefanfare.com\/fanfare-guests\/cary-grant\/\">Cary Grant <\/a>(article). Oh, my. As far as I\u2019m concerned, Grant can do no wrong. Whether playing in comedy, drama, action, suspense, true-life or war films, he\u2019s amazing. I think he\u2019s my all-around favorite actor OF ALL TIME. While looking over a list of his films, it\u2019s hard to pick just a few favorites, but I\u2019ll do my best.<\/p>\n<p>For me, and I\u2019m sure for others too, the classic comedies must include three co-starring <a title=\"Katharine Hepburn\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/findresults_actor.asp?search=Katharine+Hepburn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Katharine Hepburn<\/a>: Holiday, Bringing up Baby and The Philadelphia Story<a title=\"The Philadelphia Story \" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/product.asp?sku=D11135&amp;loc=buzzsearch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"> <\/a>(C.K.

Throw in <a title=\"His Girl Friday\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/product.asp?sku=D18877&amp;loc=buzzsearch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">His Girl Friday<\/a> with a fast-talking Rosalind Russell, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviefanfare.com\/fanfare-guests\/the-awful-truth-the-name-is-grant-cary-grant\/ \">The Awful Truth <\/a>and My Favorite Wife, both with<a title=\"The Awful Truth\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviefanfare.com\/fanfare-guests\/the-awful-truth-the-name-is-grant-cary-grant\/\" target=\"_blank\"> Irene Dunne<\/a> (article), and Arsenic and Old Lace with <a title=\"Priscilla Lane\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/findresults_actor.asp?search=Priscilla+Lane\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Priscilla Lane<\/a>, and I think that\u2019s a good argument for some of the funniest films EVER made. Grant displays an amazing range in these films. By turns silly, goofy, clever, witty, deadpan, charming and playful, he just can\u2019t be beat.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s not forget the films he made with Alfred Hitchcock: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviefanfare.com\/first-viewing-experiences\/suspicion\/\">Suspicion<\/a> with Joan Fontaine; To Catch a Thief, with <a title=\"Grace Kelly\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/findresults_actor.asp?search=Grace+Kelly\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Grace Kelly<\/a> (There\u2019s gold in them there hills!); Notorious, with <a title=\"Ingrid Bergman\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/findresults_actor.asp?search=Ingrid+Bergman\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Ingrid Bergman<\/a> (a true Grant classic \u2013 suspense, nasty mother-in-law, Claude Rains, lost-love-found again, plutonium and Nazis! Who could ask for anything more!) and North by Northwest, with <a title=\"James Mason\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/findresults_actor.asp?search=James+Mason\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">James Mason<\/a> and <a title=\"Eva Marie Saint\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/findresults_actor.asp?search=Eva+Marie+Saint\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Eva Marie Saint<\/a>.\u00a0 These films highlight Grant\u2019s suave, romantic, mischievous and sometimes dangerous nature.<\/p>\n<p>Then there\u2019s one of the most romantic films of all time \u2013 <a title=\"An Affair to Remember\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/product.asp?sku=D53648&amp;loc=buzzsearch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">An Affair to Remember<\/a>, with <a title=\"Deborah Kerr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/findresults_actor.asp?search=Deborah+Kerr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Deborah Kerr<\/a>. If you haven\u2019t seen it, you still know the story. Grant and Kerr meet on a cruise ship. They\u2019re both attached to different people. They\u2019ll meet in six months at the top of the Empire State Building. If they both show up, they were meant to be together. If not\u2026I can\u2019t give away all the details, people! Just make sure you\u2019ve got plenty of Kleenex on hand. The end\u2019s a real weeper.\u00a0 I give it five out of five hankies.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_12878\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviefanfare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/CHARADE3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12878\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12878\" title=\"CHARADE\" src=\"http:\/\/www.moviefanfare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/CHARADE3-300x234.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"234\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onecinephile.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/CHARADE3-300x234.jpg 300w, https:\/\/onecinephile.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/CHARADE3.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-12878\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn in Charade<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I would also add these next three to my list of Grant favorites. The little-known movie In Name Only, with <a title=\"Carole Lombard\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/findresults_actor.asp?search=Carole+Lombard\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Carole Lombard<\/a> and <a title=\"Kay Francis\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/findresults_actor.asp?search=Kay+Francis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Kay Francis<\/a>, is a soap opera romance with Grant falling for widow Lombard, but unable to get out of his loveless marriage to Francis. I happen to own a VHS copy, and I can\u2019t tell you how many times I\u2019ve watched it. It has Grant at his very best, with bits of comedy, romance, drama and melodrama. It too is a good, old-fashioned weepy. <a title=\"Gunga Din\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/product.asp?sku=D61782&amp;loc=buzzsearch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Gunga Din<\/a> is a swift action picture co-starring <a title=\"Douglas Fairbanks Jr.\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/findresults_actor.asp?search=Douglas+Fairbanks+Jr.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.<\/a> (who I once met! BLUEST EYES EVER!) and <a title=\"Victor McLaglen\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/findresults_actor.asp?search=Victor+McLaglen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Victor McLaglen<\/a>. The three play British<strong> <\/strong>soldiers in 19th-century India trying to stop an uprising. Though historically inaccurate, it\u2019s a fun film nonetheless. My Dad always called me when this was on television. We were often able to watch it together, even though we were on different coasts. Then there\u2019s Charade, with <a title=\"Audrey Hepburn\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/findresults_actor.asp?search=Audrey+Hepburn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Audrey Hepburn<\/a> and <a title=\"Walter Matthau\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/findresults_actor.asp?search=Walter+Matthau\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Walter Matthau<\/a>. I think Cary Grant sets the bar for the definition of suave in the movies. Even today, an actor would do well by following his example and this is the movie, along with To Catch a Thief, that sets the bar. As Hepburn and Grant, (and Kelly and Grant) roam around Paris, you can see how and why the women are drawn to Grant. They might not know what he\u2019s up to all the time, might not trust him, but stay in his orbit anyway. I would, too.<\/p>\n<p>Last, but not least, there\u2019s The Talk of the Town, co-starring <a title=\"Jean Arthur\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/findresults_actor.asp?search=Jean+Arthur\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Jean Arthur<\/a> (who I love! Not in that way. Get your mind out of the gutter!) and <a title=\"Ronald Colman\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/findresults_actor.asp?search=Ronald+Colman\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Ronald Colman<\/a> (whom I also love. You figure out which way.) This George Stevens-helmed romance has real, serious philosophical debate thrown into the mix. It\u2019s an usual gem of a film. Grant made so many different types of really good films, you wonder if he had a great agent or just a good eye when it came to reading scripts. One thing I know for sure &#8212; I still watch and enjoy these films, years after I discovered them. And Cary Grant is the reason why. He\u2019s my all-around, go to guy. There\u2019s plenty more films of his that I could name. I just couldn\u2019t list them all. Look them up. You won\u2019t regret it. George Clooney may come (a little) close, but he\u2019s no Cary Grant. No one is.<\/p>\n<p>These early crushes of mine have turned into a lifelong love and appreciation for the stars and for film. In an apartment full of framed movie posters, I have a photographic print of Gary Cooper over my fireplace and an artist\u2019s rendering of the stairwell fight from The Adventures of Robin Hood in my living room (thanks, John T.!) Some things and feelings never fade away.<\/p>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t until I got older that I started appreciating actors and actresses of my generation. In 1985, I saw the new Rob Reiner<a title=\"Rob Reiner \" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/findresults_director.asp?search=Rob+Reiner+\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"> <\/a>romantic comedy starring <a title=\"Who's Your Favorite John Cusack character\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviefanfare.com\/movie-polls\/moviefanfare-movie-poll-36\/\" target=\"_blank\">John Cusack<\/a> (poll) and <a title=\"Daphne Zuniga\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/findresults_actor.asp?search=Daphne+Zuniga\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Daphne Zuniga<\/a> <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">that would change my life forever<\/span>.
