I realized that to have someone
whom you really love

Cary was who Cary was,

1254

Cary's shyness was a strange
combination of someone who

1255
01:23:11,208 --> 01:23:13,959
used to be a particular way and
someone that he had become.

1256
01:23:13,959 --> 01:23:16,583
So there was still a little bit
of the old Archie Leach

that sort of stayed with Cary.

1258

But he didn't really love being
out in the public too much.

1259

I mean, he hated, for example,
having to get up

1260
01:23:26,667 --> 01:23:29,458
and make a speech,
absolutely hated it.

1261

He would be terribly,
terribly nervous.

1263
01:23:32,333 --> 01:23:35,250
That's why he loved the
"Conversations with Cary Grant,"

1264
01:23:35,250 --> 01:23:40,166
because someone was
asking him a question.

1265
01:23:40,166 --> 01:23:45,208
He started the whole evening by
showing clips of many films

1266
01:23:45,208 --> 01:23:48,333
where backflips were done and
various other things were done,

1267
01:23:48,333 --> 01:23:50,458
and then he would tell a joke,

1268
01:23:50,458 --> 01:23:52,834
and then people will
ask him questions.

1269
01:23:52,834 --> 01:23:56,959

he came up with and loved.

1271
01:24:05,041 --> 01:24:08,875
Cary always used to have a
rehearsal, and he always

1272
01:24:08,875 --> 01:24:11,834
wanted me sitting in the
audience so that I could say,

1273
01:24:11,834 --> 01:24:13,375
"I can't hear you,
can hear you," or whatever.

1274

audience and he was going

1275
01:24:16,667 --> 01:24:19,041
through the lighting and going
through everything else,

1276
01:24:19,041 --> 01:24:25,125
and then his voice became
a little bit flustered.

1277
01:24:25,125 --> 01:24:26,041
His mind became
a little bit flustered,

1278

to come on stage.

asked me just to hold him tight

feeling very well.

they wouldn't let me stay
