The U.S. Postal Service issued this sheet of Cary Grant self-adhesive 37¢ stamps - the 8th issuance in the Legends of Hollywood series - in Los Angeles, CA on October 15, 2002. The portrait of Cary Grant in the stamp art is an oil painting by Michael J. Deas of New Orleans, LA, based on a black-and-white publicity photograph made in 1951 or 1952 by Warner Bros. photographer Bert Six. The photograph to the right of the stamps shows Grant being chased by a crop duster in a famous scene from the film North by Northwest. In that film, Grant played Roger Thornhill, an advertising executive who is mistaken for a spy. The photograph was altered for dramatic effect: the crop duster has been repositioned and clouds have been added to the background.

One of the silver screen's most beloved actors, Cary Grant (1904-1986) charmed audiences as a debonair leading man, bringing wit and sophistication to his varied roles in more than seventy movies. Born Archibald Leach in Bristol, England, he came to the United States in 1920. In 1942, he legally changed his name to Cary Grant and became a citizen of the United States, ten years after his first feature film This is the Night. In 1999, the American Film Institute announced Grant ranked second among the top twenty-five men in its list of fifty greatest American screen legends.
