To millions of movie-goers around the world, Cary Grant will forever epitomize the glamour, and the style, of Hollywood in its golden years.  With his dark hair and even darker eyes, mischievous smile and effortless elegance, he was, is and always will be indelibly one of the great movie stars.  Since his death in 1986, the incandescence of his screen image has not dimmed for a single moment.  In a career spanning four decades, Cary Grant became the man every woman longed for.  As Burt Reynolds once put it, ‘He was touched by the gods.  When he walked into a room you had to look at him.  Men liked him as well as women, and that is incredibly rare.’

Grant was sending her flowers every day and made his intentions [to marry her] clear. “You know, I had to make a choice,” Sophia explains. “Carlo was Italian; he belonged to my world,” and Cary Grant did not. She was too afraid to give up everything she’d known; some part of her realized she needed her native soil to thrive. “I know it was the right thing to do, for me.” (X)
