[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 434916, member: 7"] I personally see Grant as a strong contender for the #1 spot, if for nothing more than his longevity as a star in the "Golden Age". I, too, quite enjoy the Grant and Hepburn films. I also really like his movies with Irene Dunne. He worked very well with the two of them, even if the criticism about him "always playing himself" is fairly common. Yes, Grant was wise to steer clear of heavier dramas. Under the right direction and with the right script, he might would've done alright. But I digress. This, to me, is one my biggest issues with AFI's list. John Wayne was one of the most consistent box office draws in the history of Hollywood, and he deserved to be much higher on the list. Apparently, Grant had grown weary of playing the love interest to younger women, like in THAT TOUCH OF MINK with Day, or CHARADE with Audrey Hepburn. The script for the latter was changed so that she pursued him. [/QUOTE]
