Eldergays, what was the difference between Cary Grant and Gregory Peck?

They both look so much alike. I can't tell them apart!

Silence is the most perfect expression of scorn.

The gay one was hotter and more talented.

Same difference as Ryan Reynolds and Ryan Gosling...

Cary was glib, Gregory was stolid.

Can't you tell simply by the roles they each played?

Cary was a comedic actor. Even in serious roles he was sardonic. Sexy, winking. Mocking life and himself.

Peck was a steadfast, tried and true "all American" type. Reliable, responsible. The kind of person we envisioned ourselves to be at that time (but weren't, as that real life type is very rare).

That’s because you’re stupid OP.

Cary was a homo. Greg was not.

Gregory Peck was a male model. He should have stayed as a male model. I never got much glint of a personality there.

But there are two things to his credit; he went to England early and he chose the fascinating and talented Margaret Leighton to star opposite him in that 'Hornblower' movie.

I'm sorry he wasn't able to star in John Huston's 'Quo Vadis' as he had the 'de luxe' looks to complement that big movie.

I preferred Peck in his bad boy roles like in Duel in the Sun and Yellow Sky.

But did that add any sex-appeal? Did it make you want to rip his shirt off.

He exposed his nipples once and his navel never.

One is an icon, who's charisma and star power put him into legend. Like Marilyn, a self-creation that transcends traditional acting with something closer to performance art. An indelible, one of a kind. The other is good looking and perfectly fine.

R17 I certainly felt flustered when he threw himself on Anne Baxter in Yellow Sky and so did she. Even though he did try and rape her in that scene.

I hope Gregory didn't expose his navel while raping her. He was such a gentleman!

My favorite Peck performance is in "Roman Holiday"; he looks beautiful and seems more natural on screen than usual. I'm sure Grant would have done well in the role too, but I'm glad Peck got the chance to shine.

Why did the comsumate professional William Wyler bother with such trifles?

Cary wanted to wear my pumps. Greg wanted to pump me.

I'd much rather watch "Roman Holiday" again than endure the solemn and endless non-trifles such as "Ben-Hur" and "Mrs. Miniver" a second time. I guess it's a matter of taste.

Can't stand Audrey. I'd rather watch Mrs. Miniver or Ben-Hur over that twee actress anyday

Gregory Peck was my mother's favorite actress. She tolerated Cary Grant. I agree with her.

by Anonymousreply 27May 4, 2022 6:57 AM

R27 was your mother as blind as OP or did she know something about Peck that the rest of us don't?

They both had a limited range— as limited as Rex Harrison's modest range.

Grant did comedy and the occasional dramatic role.

Peck wasn't very good at comedy or drama; he just stood back and looked good while the director did all the work. Though this supposedly-dramatic movie makes me titter.

The first one had a round head; the second one had a narrow head with an aquiline nose.

Peck was very handsome. He was good at playing noble men. But he was so dull and not really good at comedy.

Peck has a cute grandson…and he is an adult.

OK - I insulted the OP earlier - but now I’m going to answer seriously:

Peck was a good actor and a very handsome man who made lots of good movie and had ONE iconic role in “ To Kill a Mockigbird.”

Grant was an icon himself and perhaps the greatest romantic comic of all time.
