Player El Cid, one of mine as well. If I am honest, there are not many actors that can compare.

The studio changed everyone's names in those days. They wanted them to be attractive, easy to remember and to "sound American".

If you want to see a very good tearjerker with him and Irene Dunne, watch "Penny Serenade." It's wonderful. Grant earned an Oscar nomination for his role.

I can see why he didn't want to known by his real name. It doesn't roll off the tongue.

LOTO-LAD, Oh no, she was the lucky one. He could have found someone more stable. The woman he was married to for about 10 years, he claimed was the best one and he should have stayed with her. Dyan married him to help her career, but due to her poor acting, even Grant could not save her from a nominal acting career.
