The Rise and Fall of Charm in American Men

[Bluenorthwest]

67. Some pretty crazed material here. Cary Grant's characters being compared to actual men. Crazy.

Grant was a very interesting man, who by his own admission was verbally and physically abusive to women until he underwent therapy and changes he attributed to his use of LSD having taught him a few things.
So the real man Grant was hitting women while his on screen performances were being made which this article uses to say actual men are not charming.
Grant later spoke at length about these things, which really is charming in that he was honest about how he'd been and the importance of personal growth even when one his handsome, famous, rich and given constant praise. He was fairly amazing really.
I find it odd how many in the tread and this author confuse actors and their roles.
