Jeff Goldblum

He is also the voice in some Toyota commercials. His cremated ashes were given to his family. Goldblum is the voice for the most of the new Apple commercials including the ones for the iBook. It was just before one of these performances — in Davenport, Iowa — that Grant suffered a severe stroke and died in hospital a few hours later. He was also reportedly engaged to Catherine Wreford, 23 year-old Canadian dancer. In the last few years of his life, Grant undertook tours of the USA with his "A Conversation with Cary Grant", in which he would show clips from his films and afterward hold a question-and-answer session with the audience. He has also been engaged to Laura Dern with whom he co-starred in Jurrasic Park. His fourth marriage was to actress Dyan Cannon, with whom he had his only child, a daughter, Jennifer Grant, who would later become an actress herself.

He was later married to Geena Davis from November 1, 1987 to October 1990, with whom he starred with in three films. In 1981, he received the Kennedy Center Honors. He was married to Patricia Gaul from 1980 to 1986. Although twice nominated for an Academy Award, he never won but was honored in 1970 with a special Academy Award for Lifetime Achievement. Goldblum has been married twice. In the mid-1950s Grant formed his own production company, Grantley Productions, and via a distribution deal with Universal produced some of his finest work, which included Operation Petticoat, Indiscreet, That Touch Of Mink (co-starring Doris Day), and Father Goose. He also had a supporting role in the 1984 cult favorite The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension. In the September, 1959 issue of Look magazine, Grant related how treatment with LSD at a prestigious California clinic -- it was legal at the time -- had finally brought him inner peace after yoga, hypnotism, and mysticism had proved ineffective.

His roles in Jurrasic Park, The Big Chill, Into the Night, Independence Day and The Fly are among his most notable performances. Howard Hawks was just as devoted, saying that Grant was "so far the best that there isn't anybody to be compared to him". Though not often cast in leading roles (his role in 1986's The Fly a notable exception), Goldblum is often cast in strong supporting roles. Hitchcock, who was notorious for disliking actors, was very fond of Grant, saying that Grant was "the only actor I ever loved in my whole life". Rising to 6'4", Goldblum has a talent for delivering relaxed, naturalistic dialogue with impeccable comic timing. He was a versatile actor, who did demanding physical comedy in movies like "Gunga Din" with the skills he had learned on the stage. The son of the deceased Doctor Harold Goldblum, Jeff was born in Whitaker, Pennsylvania. Grant was one of Hollywood's top box-office attractions for several decades.

Jeff Goldblum (born October 22, 1952) is an American film actor. Grant subsequently took that character in a far darker direction in Suspicion, directed by Hitchcock, without somehow losing his charm or his audience's devotion. California Split (1974). These performances solidifed his appeal, and The Philadelphia Story, with Hepburn, established his best-known screen role: the charming if sometimes unreliable man, formerly married to an intelligent and strong-willed woman who first divorced him, then realized that he was — with all his faults — irresistible. Death Wish (1974). Grant starred in some of the classic screwball comedies, including The Awful Truth with Irene Dunne, Bringing Up Baby with Katharine Hepburn, His Girl Friday with Rosalind Russell and Arsenic and Old Lace with Priscilla Lane. Nashville (1975). Grant became the surrogate father and had a lifelong influence on her son, Lance Reventlow.

Next Stop, Greenwich Village (1976). He became an American citizen on June 26th, 1942 and shortly thereafter married the wealthy socialite Barbara Hutton. St. Ives (1976). After some success in light Broadway comedies, he made it to Hollywood in 1931, where he acquired the name "Cary Grant". Special Delivery (1976). Grant traveled with the troupe to the United States in 1920 for a two year tour; when the troupe returned to the United Kingdom, Grant stayed — creating over time that unique accent and persona that mixed working and upper class accents as he supported himself as, among other things, a hawker. The Sentinel (1977). After being expelled, in 1918 (from Fairfield School, Bristol) for an incident involving the girls' toilets, he joined the Bob Pender stage troupe.

Between the Lines (1977). Grant's unhappy childhood, by his own account, led him to crave applause and attention and to create a new persona that would attract it. Annie Hall (1977). Lucky. Remember My Name (1978). Those traits also come through more directly in many of his performances, in films as different as Suspicion and Notorious, directed by Alfred Hitchcock, and tear-jerkers, such as Mr. Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978). That left Archie Leach/Cary Grant with both a certain insecurity in his relations with women and a secretiveness about his inner life that may explain his bravado and charm.
