He was the first to become a technically independent actor, not having renewed his contract, and was able to oversee everything regarding his acting career.

Despite his challenging upbringing, Grant did show promise as an entertainer. He enjoyed attending the theater with his father and later trained to be a stilt walker and began touring with a group of acrobatic dancers called the Bob Pender Stage Troupe. While he had won a scholarship to attend Fairfield Grammar School in Bristol, Cary was expelled at the age of 14. It was suspected he intentionally sought expulsion in order to pursue a career in entertainment with the Pender Troupe. His father then signed a three-year contract with the Troupe by which Grant would train with them for three years until the age of 18 and receive a weekly salary and room and board.

Cary Grant was born Archibald Alec Leach on January 4, 1904, in Bristol, England. His father, Elias James Leach, worked as a tailor's presser at a clothing factory, while his mother, Elsie Maria Leach, worked as a seamstress. His parents had another son, John, who had died before he turned one year old prior to Grant's birth. Cary's upbringing was not a happy one, as his father was an alcoholic, and his mother had clinical depression. When Grant was nine, his father placed his mother in a mental institution and told his son that she had gone away on a long holiday and later died, which was not true. His father remarried and started a new family. Cary subsequently grew up resenting his mother, as she had also not been very affectionate towards him before she was sent to the institution. He did not learn that she was still alive until he was 31 years old, and his father confessed to the lie on his deathbed. He made arrangements for her to leave the institution once he found out her whereabouts.

Cary was nominated for two Academy Awards and five Golden Globes. He received the Honorary Oscar in 1970, which was given byFrank Sinatra.
