Movie Star Moment: Cary Grant


Cary Grant as Adam Canfield
in "Charade" (1963)

    It's night in Paris, and Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn are on one of those dinner barges that cruise the Seine. Suddenly the lights go out and a spotlight from the boat starts to pan the shore. Hepburn and Grant move to the rail to watch, as the spotlight reveals young couples making out on the river's edge. Grant, close to 60 and approaching the end of his career as one of the screen's great romantic leads, looks out over the water toward the lovers on the bank. "Pretty good, huh?" he says. "I taught them everything they do."
