In 1980, Chevy Chase appeared on The Tom Snyder Show. When he was asked what he thought about being compared to Grant, Chase responded, "I understand he was a homo. He was brilliant. What a gal!” Grant didn't find the joke funny and sued Chase for $10 million. They settled out of court.

I keep laughing at that line. Not because it’s funny but because Chevy Chase is such a dick and that line personifies the guy’s scumbaginess.

I read once that Cary Grant used the rumors that he was a homosexual to his advantage, to get women to go to bed with him (so they could satisfy their curiosity about the matter).

In one of his movies he has a line like "the last person who talked to me like that was Archie Leach, a week before he killed himself."

He's also very good in Bringing up Baby and in The Philadelphia Story.
