My favorite Cary Grant story:

Late in his life Time Magazine was publishing an article about him and they realized they had no idea what his real age was. So many Hollywood press agents had put out material fudging that over the years that his real date of birth was a mystery.

So they sent Grant a telegram reading, “How old Cary Grant?”

Grant’s reply:

“Old Cary Grant fine. How you?”

I guess you have to be old enough to remember telegrams to get that.

The WOKE crowd would read this and ask; why not an instant message? Which DEFINES their problem, they don't know history because it hasn't been TAUGHT in generations!

Thanks for the smile. My other favorite CG comedy is "Arsenic & Old Lace".
