I was his only child,
and a girl.
1219
01:20:33,959 --> 01:20:38,379
I think he had fears about,
you know, the male population
1220
01:20:38,375 --> 01:20:40,535
and how they would react to me
and what might happen
1221
01:20:40,542 --> 01:20:44,332
if I went out, and he did not
like me going out late,
1222
01:20:44,333 --> 01:20:48,543
because dad would worry, and
I could hear it in his voice.
1223
01:20:48,542 --> 01:20:50,582
First of all, he'd be angry
at me, then he'd give me

the silent treatment
if I didn't obey these rules.
1225
01:20:54,500 --> 01:20:58,040

worried, and I knew it.

difficult for me to come over

here and totally change my life
but became immaterial because
1230
01:21:44,083 --> 01:21:48,253
I realized that to have someone
whom you really love
1231
01:21:48,250 --> 01:21:50,960
and who really loves you is
far more important than the age
1232
01:21:50,959 --> 01:21:54,539
difference, and also because
Cary was who Cary was,
1233
01:21:54,542 --> 01:21:58,962
not Cary Grant, but because he
was a man who was fascinated by
1234
01:21:58,959 --> 01:22:01,629
life and wanted to investigate
things the whole time,
1235

1236
01:22:03,917 --> 01:22:06,167
He did not have a closed
old mind at all.
1237

His mind was probably
younger than mine.
1238
01:22:11,083 --> 01:22:13,543
But he was a little bit shy,
a little bit anxious,

I had to prove that I was

he was a little bit

Once he realized that I was in
his life for the right reason
1250
01:22:52,250 --> 01:22:56,500
and truly loved him, I think
then all that had not been

shown before was sort of
showered on me, thank goodness.
1252

I mean, it was wonderful.
1253
01:23:01,959 --> 01:23:06,709
(applause)
1254
01:23:06,709 --> 01:23:11,209
Cary's shyness was a strange
combination of someone who
1255
01:23:11,208 --> 01:23:13,958
used to be a particular way and
someone that he had become.
1256
01:23:13,959 --> 01:23:16,579
So there was still a little bit
of the old Archie Leach
1257
01:23:16,583 --> 01:23:18,383
that sort of stayed with Cary.
1258
01:23:18,375 --> 01:23:22,075
But he didn't really love being
out in the public too much.
1259
01:23:22,083 --> 01:23:26,673
I mean, he hated, for example,
having to get up
1260
01:23:26,667 --> 01:23:29,457
and make a speech,
absolutely hated it.
1261
01:23:29,458 --> 01:23:30,958
He wouldn't eat beforehand.
1262
01:23:30,959 --> 01:23:32,329
He would be terribly,
terribly nervous.
1263
01:23:32,333 --> 01:23:35,253
That's why he loved the
"Conversations with Cary Grant,"
1264
01:23:35,250 --> 01:23:40,170
because someone was
asking him a question.
1265
01:23:40,166 --> 01:23:45,206
He started the whole evening by
showing clips of many films
1266
01:23:45,208 --> 01:23:48,328
where backflips were done and
various other things were done,
1267
01:23:48,333 --> 01:23:50,463
and then he would tell a joke,
1268
01:23:50,458 --> 01:23:52,828
and then people will
ask him questions.
1269
01:23:52,834 --> 01:23:56,964
And so it was a format that
he came up with and loved.
1270
01:23:56,959 --> 01:24:05,039
(waves crashing)
1271
01:24:05,041 --> 01:24:08,881
Cary always used to have a
rehearsal, and he always
1272
01:24:08,875 --> 01:24:11,825
wanted me sitting in the
audience so that I could say,
1273
01:24:11,834 --> 01:24:13,384
"I can't hear you,
can hear you," or whatever.
1274
01:24:13,375 --> 01:24:16,665
And I was sitting in the
audience and he was going
1275
01:24:16,667 --> 01:24:19,037
through the lighting and going
through everything else,
1276
01:24:19,041 --> 01:24:25,131
and then his voice became
a little bit flustered.
1277
01:24:25,125 --> 01:24:26,035
His mind became
a little bit flustered,
1278
01:24:26,041 --> 01:24:29,421
and he beckoned for me
to come on stage.
1279
01:24:29,417 --> 01:24:36,877
So I went up to him, and he
asked me just to hold him tight
1280
01:24:36,875 --> 01:24:39,165
because he wasn't
feeling very well.
1281
01:24:41,709 --> 01:24:44,879
In the ambulance,
he was still conscious.
1282

When we got to the hospital,
1283
01:24:47,417 --> 01:24:51,917
they wouldn't let me stay
with him unfortunately.
1284
01:24:51,917 --> 01:24:54,077
And they came back at one stage
and said that
1285
01:24:54,083 --> 01:24:56,503
