Cary Grant wore women’s panties. Not boxers, or even briefs. Panties. He said he wore them because they were more comfortable. I learned this reading “An Affair To Remember,“ a memoir written by one of Grant’s lovers. It gives you a whole new perspective on the guy. Next time you see him fleeing that copter in “North by Northwest“ or playing a suave, handsome spy in “Notorious,” you‘ll know that beneath that perfect male exterior, the man is wearing panties. We shouldn’t be shocked. Chances are that every one of us is keeping mum about at least one quirky little secret that would surprise the folks who think they know us best. (Except for me, of course...) It makes me wonder about the other celebrities we love to fawn over. What little quirks or foibles are they hiding? Maybe every man on the silver screen is wearing panties! The minute he got to Hollywood, did Brad Pitt toss out his boxers and head over to Victoria’s Secret? Is Harrison Ford wearing lacy women’s undergarments under that suit? I guess we won’t know until somebody writes that book. In the meantime, I’ll just assume that they are. It’ll make watching a dull movie that much more interesting.
