Meet the handsome Brits playing rumored lovers Cary Grant & Randolph Scott in the miniseries ‘Archie’
Archie—the British miniseries about the life of legendary Hollywood star Cary Grant—became available to stream in the U.S. via Britbox.Archie is partially based on Dear Cary: My Life With Cary Grant, the 2011 memoir from the actor’s third ex-wife, Dyan Cannon, who last week addressed those long-standing rumors about her late husband’s sexuality.“If he did have relationships with men, it was before I knew him—but I never saw any indication of that,” Cannon shared.Jason Isaacs, who plays Grant in the series, added: “As far as I am aware, he had many relationships, but the label ‘gay’ doesn’t really define what he was… he certainly had relationships with men.
One very long relationship. But then he was in love with women. He was in love with Dyan.”But what—or who, rather—they’re both talking around here is Grant’s former co-star Randolph Scott, whom he reportedly had a very close relationship with.
The pair even shared a Malibu home together (dubbed “Bachelor Hall”), where both photographer Jerome Zerbe and actor Richard Blackwell claim to have slept with them.
In the latter’s autobiography, he wrote Grant and Scott “were deeply, madly in love, their devotion was complete.”In other words, if you’re tuning in to Archie in hopes that it might shed a light on this facet of Grant’s life, you’ll be sorely disappointed, we’re sorry to say.
