Cary Grant
After being born Archibald Alec Leach and thankfully
opting for the stage name, Cary Grant, this British-born American
actor, with his distinctive Mid-Atlantic accent, was noted
as perhaps the foremost exemplar of the debonair leading man,
handsome, virile, charismatic and charming. He was named the
second Greatest Male Star of All Time of American Cinema,
after Humphrey Bogart, by the American Film Institute. He
was well known for starring in classic films such as The Philadelphia
Story, North by Northwest, Notorious, His Girl Friday, To
Catch A Thief, Bringing Up Baby and The Bishop's Wife. I have
a few favourite Cary Grant films, but ones that really stand
out are Alfred Hitchcock's Suspicion, Charade where he co-starred
with Audrey Hepburn and Frank Capra's brilliant Arsenic And
Old Lace, but let us not forget his sublime performance in
Indiscreet where he starred with the great Ingrid Bergman,
but hold on! I have to mention HouseBoat where he stars with
Sophia Loren, a film that is on my "must watch"
list... I could probably go on all day writing about Cary
Grant. He made so many films and each one a true treasure...

Raw Nerve
The novel they considered too controversial! Read it before you see the film!
The black Governor of Georgia, Janice Mathias, is the leading contender in the race for the White House! The Ku Klux Klan plot an assination and much, much worse!
Gideon is the man who makes the difference when he tears the dark veil from the face of white supremacy!
The novel by Tim Rees, Raw Nerve, is now available on Kindle.
Recommended reading for everyone who loves a great thriller!
For a little over $5, which is £3 something, Raw Nerve is a serious page turner! |

The Hollywood Movie History
The greats of the silent movie period included
Rudolf Valentino, Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton,
Laurel & Hardy and a whole host of stars whose talents live
on in the many characters they portrayed. Jean Harlow is perhaps
the most successful of the stars who began their career in the
silent era and whose star continued in ascendancy into the talkies.
The western film genre has been the birth place for many great
film stars, not least of which is the Great John Wayne. Blockbuster
movies dominated the 80's and 90's with Silvester Stallone,
Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis competing for the title
greatest action hero of them all... and then Matt Damon brought
Ludlum's character Jason Bourne to life all too vividly and
a whole new action hero was born.
And, although great women's roles are still all to rare, Vivien
Leigh's Scarlet O'Hara in Gone With The Wind, Marilyn Monroe's
Sugar Kane in Some Like It Hot, Grace Kelly as Tracy Lord in
High Society, Michelle Pfeifer in the Baker Boys and Julie Roberts
in Erin Brockovich are just a few great and memorable perfomances
I have experience by women in the movies...
