(AP) — "Cary Grant is ‘80? Impossible!” exclaimed Irene Dunne. ‘To other Americans, too, it must seem incredible that the screen's most enduring smoothie has reached his 80th birthday today. Except for the whitening of his hair, th The Awful Truth, 7 Wins Bring!

For half a century, Grant has filled everyone's image with the hallucinogenic drug LSD. Grant later said: “My intention was to help make me happy. I suppose srerying we do in life or should do in h of the urbane, debonair leading man with a self- wit. What Grant was not, delightfully, was perfect — he made mistakes, fell on his face, just-like the rest of us. In the elusive art of light comedy, Grant had no equal. But this also may have limited him. “He can't play a serious part,” Katharine Hepburn once said. “Or, let me say, the public won't accept him that way ... which, I'm sure, has been a big bugaboo to Grant's most serious film, None But the Lonely Heart in 1945, brought an Academy Award nomination, but was a rare Grant box-office flop. This living screen legend will observe his 80th birthday in his customary manner: calmly, quietly, without a hint of ostentation. “It’s a nice happening, and I'm glad I've got there,” he said by telephone from his palatial Beverly Hills home. “But I'm trying to keep it as low key as possible. I always spend my birthday at home, just as I spend New Year's.” REMAINS GENTLEMAN He remains the quintessential gentleman, yet Grant has always stayed aware of his humble beginnings in Bristol, England, as Archibald Alex Leach and his show business start as a stilt walker. He may sit on the corporate rds of MGM, Faberge, Hollywood Park race track, but he is modest about his duties: “I listen and listen and when everyone decides, I say yes.” Such humility seems astonishing. After all, didn’t he outfox the villainous James Mason in their cross-country life is a A man would be a fool if he looked for anything else. “LSD is not a-drug for addicts. No self-respecting addict would take LSD. The nightmares come out of you.” TAKES TIME In an interview a few months ago, Grant said, “It took a long time for me to mature.

Contentment, serenity, feeling comfortable with yourself?” “Peace of mind?” suggested Barbara Harris Grant, 33, his fifth wife. “That's it — peace of mind,” he agreed. “Thanks to Barbara, I've finally found it. Well, I should be mature by now. Grant's first four marriages — to Virginia Cherrill, Barbara Hutton, Betsy Drake and Dyan Cannon, mother of his daughter, Jennifer, 17, a Stanford freshman — ended in divorce. He met Barbara Harris in London where she was public relations director for a hotel. They married in 1981. Cary Grant's last film was Walk, Don't Run in 1966. For nearly two decades, he has resisted all offers to return to the screen. Nor does he have any intention of writing one of those “kiss-and-tell” books that he detests. “One thing I deplore is the tendency for actors to reveal everything, either by taking off their clothes before the camera or writing a book. That's what they do when they want to get back in public attention. I find it sordid and in bad taste.” - BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) + With her delicate features and porcelain skin, she seems like a fragile doll. But at 87, Lilian Gish retains the same indomitable spirit that has sustained her acting career for an astounding 82 LILLIAN GISH DOESN'T LIVE = were interwined, and when she wrote in her 1969 auto- biography, it was titled — The Movies, Mr. Griffith, and Mary Pickford, who had known the Gish girls on the years. She remains as firm of voice and opinion as when she was a silent star at MGM, where she was dubbed the Iron Butterfly. The memories of those years, and especially her beginnings as D. W. Griffith's favorite heroine, remain évergreen. Yet she doesn't live in the Gish received the presti- gious Commander of Arts and Letters Award from the French government last Oct. 18. Earlier, she had been in California to star in her 102nd movie, Hambone and Hillie, a Sandy Howard Pro- duction with 0.J. Simpson, Timothy Bottoms, Jack Car- ter and Candy Clark. After completing her work, she submitted to a ser- IN THE PAST ies of interviews in her suite at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. Hambone and Hillie is a dog story, and that brought to mind the many dogs Gish and her late sister, Dorothy, owned over the years. The first was a gift when they were seven and eight years old, respectively and appear- ing in melodramas in Boston that cost 10 to 30 cents ad- mission. RIDES RAILS “We rode the train from Boston to New York, and it was the first Pullman we had ever taken,” Gish related. “Always before we had slept in chair cars as we travelled from town to town. That night Dorothy and I climbed into the upper berth with the puppy, and we took turns staying awake to make sure it wouldn't fall out.” Panasonic VIDEO COLOR TV Lillian and Dorothy were born a year apart in Spring- field, Ohio. After their father drifted away, Mrs. Gish moved the girls to New York, took acting jobs in the theatre out of desperation, and the daughters followed. “Of course, Mother dis- graced the family by going into acting,” Gish said. “It simply would not have been proper back in Ohio. “She used another name, and Dorothy and I never used our own names when we were small. We were always listed as Baby Dor- othy or Baby Lillian. Even when we went to work for Mr. Griffith, our names weren't used. He didn't be- lieve in billing the actors.” D.W. Griffith recurs in Gish’s conversation, always as Mr. Griffith. Their careers JANUAR’ CLEARANCE stage, persuaded Griffith to cast them in his one-reelers. JOINS MGM Lillian’s virginal innocence made her the perfect heroine, and she later starred in his classics, The Birth of a Nation and Intolerance. She went on to MGM, then re- turned to the stage after the advent of sound. Her scorn for “talkies” re- mains intense. “The movies lost 95 per cent of their audience when they started to use words in- stead of music,” she said. “Even the nickelodeons in the earliest years had a piano to accompany silent films, and music is an international language. “Our films were under- stood in every country of the world.” Try the foremost in elegant dining * Complete take-out menu * Book now for New Year's Parties * Char-broiled Steaks & Seatood * Pizzas * Italian & Vegetarian Dishes * Salad Bor OPEN TUES.-SUN.
