debonair-cool-vocabulary-words

Hollywood has long been known as a glamorous, glittering place populated by movie stars.

Yet many famous actors come from humble backgrounds. That was the case for Archie Leach. He was born into a troubled family in Bristol, England, but found his calling in the theater.

Once in America, he moved from Broadway shows in New York City to movies in Los Angeles, adopting the name “Cary Grant.”

Over the next several decades, Cary Grant became the ultimate movie star, a debonair (see definition and hear pronunciation below) onscreen personality that moviegoers longed to emulate.

Even though Grant died more than 25 years ago, his movies can still charm an audience!
