On November 29, 1986, while performing "An Evening With Cary Grant" in Davenport, Iowa, Cary complained about not feeling well. He was taken to the hospital where he died of a stroke a short time later. Cary was not buried. He was cremated and his ashes were given to his daughter, Jennifer, and his wife, Barbara. I do not know for certain what Jennifer and Barbara did with his ashes, but I have heard that they were scattered in the hills around his Beverly Grove house.

June 26th, 1942... He became a citizen and changed his name, legally, from Archie Leach to Cary Grant.

Yes, because she thought that the sufferings of the soldiers in the Crimean War had led to improvements in Britain that she had helped to bring about. Yes, almost certainly. A young man spent nine years before the war proposing marriage to her but she rejected him to do God’s work instead. No, probably not a practising one. She seems to have had passionate friendships with women in her adolescence and again late in life. But for most of her life she was happier in the company of men.

No, she died of extreme old age at 90. There is no possibility at all that she had syphilis. Her life is extremely well-documented and the symptoms of syphilis are not compatible with what we know about her. But this rumour about syphilis is quite common. I have been told that it was publicised by a priest who was opposing a church proposal to commemmorate her. He said she was an atheist who died of syphilis, and this was widely published in the press and resulted in the proposal being dropped.

It was weakened by any combination of the above and became ripe for insects or disease to start to break it down.

Joe died on December 5th 1951 at home in Greenville, South Carolina. His death certificate dated December 9, 1951 lists the cause of death as "coronary thrombosis" caused by "arteriosclerosis" and "cirrhosis of the liver."

Katie Wynn Jackson died on April 18th 1959 and is buried along side her husband at Woodlawn Memorial Park.

Benjamin Franklin died on April 17, 1790, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States of America. Born an Englishman, died an American!

why did the backround of the 1st ep. look more modern than later in the shows?(did they show the stairs later?)

Most of the passengers who survived the sinking, but didn't make it into the boats, would have quickly succumbed to exposure in the near freezing water.

Cary's birth name was Archibald Alexander Leach. Some sources state his middle name to be Alec, but it is generally accepted to be Alexander. He was born at home - 15 Hughenden Road, Bristol, England - on January 18th, 1904. More information about Cary's life can be found in Cary Grant - An Internet Biography.

There are only 72 movies listed in Cary's 'official' filmography. He did, however, make several other appearances not listed in his filmography. Most notably, a cameo in "Without Reservations," where his screen-time was actually longer than the officially listed, "Merrily We Go To Hell."

far as I am aware, there are no current paper-based Cary Grant fan clubs. You might like to join the Email Warbrides which is an electronic mailing list for Cary Grant fans. You can meet like-minded CG fans on the list, and exchange opinions, questions and information about Cary. I have been considering setting up a CG fan club, but obviously this will take a lot of work and is still quite a way in the future.

The mole on Cary's cheek was removed between the filming of "Crisis" and "People Will Talk." That would be between 1950 & 1951.

When he died on December 1, 1993, the official word was stomach cancer. This has been verified more than once on the news group and news letters. It's an unknown woman. It is not Ozzy, and there's no evidence that it's Bill Ward's first wife in front of their cottage as some have also claimed. According to Pete Sarfas, she was an actor who was hired for the photos. After the album had been released she met the band.

Dr Bach had cancer, but in fact died of exhaustion rather than because of the disease itself. Because he was only 50 when he died people have sometimes asked why he wasn't able to cure himself. What this question ignores is the fact that in 1917 he was given just 3 months to live. The truth is that he was curing himself, every day, for nineteen years - all the time it took for him to complete his work.

Lucy died at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles after undergoing 8 hours of emergency heart surgery on April 19. She passed away 7 days later. In the early morning of April 26 her aorta (a major blood vessel) ruptured.

Any of the following could be the reason; excessive heat or cold; male's excessive nesting drive; fouling of the nest; nest invaded by ants or lice; night frights; immature parents; lethal factor due to genetic make-up; interference from humans, vermin, other birds or predators; insufficient or inappropriate diet. In my experience I have found the latter again to be the most common reason.

In 1990, Roald was diagnosed with a rare blood disorder, Myelo-dysplastic anaemia. (For more information on this disorder, see this page or this page.) "I've been a bit off colour these last few months," he wrote in a newsletter to his young fans, "feeling sleepy when I shouldn't have been and without that lovely old bubbly energy that drives one to write books and drink gin and chase after girls." Roald died on November 23, 1990 at the age of 74 near his home in Oxfordshire, England.
