A Cary
Grant statue by Graham Ibbeson is one of the latest public art
additions. This life-size bronze
of Hollywood legend Cary Grant
commemorates the achievements of the actor who was born
and bred in Bristol.
Cary, who was a regular visitor to the city until his death in
1986,
enjoyed one of the most successful
and long lasting acting career.
He is arguably the greatest British born film actor, recently
being voted the second greatest film actor
of all time.
The statue
was unveiled on 7 December 2001
by his widow
Barbara Jaynes,
marking the 70th anniversary of his
arrival
in Hollywood 70, after a run on Broadway in an English acrobatic
troupe. |
