I thought you were going to say that you’d finally seen the wonderful movie from which came the name C. K. Dexter Haven! ---

Yes, I meant the Philadelphia Story. I absolutely love Cary Grant. Never cared much for Bing. ---

Well, I don’t actually think this was me. I haven’t been to a consumer compliant website, so far as I am aware. I rarely would go to such a place under this screen name. Yes, it is true, Cary Grant used my name in the movie THE PHILADELPHIA STORY. Others may have used this name as well. The price of being a celebrity, I suppose. **Freyr** : \<\< So, is he cute? \>\> Everyone says I look just like Cary Grant (when he was alive, if you were thinking of making a nasty crack.) Two eyes, nose in the middle, mouth underneath; two ears, one on each side of head… Just like Cary Grant. ---

I really dig “two eyes, nose in the middle, mouth underneath, two ears, one on each side of head” in a guy. 'Specially just like Cary Grant. ---

I’m curious if our Straight Dope C K Dexter Haven is a muscian, or if someone else is using the name, too. ---

I just want to relate a story about Cary Grant that may or may not be Hollywood legend: an interviewer, checking over his notes from a conversation with Grant, realized he’d forgotten to ask the actor’s age. He sent a telegram to Grant worded thusly: “How old Cary Grant?” To which Grant replied: “Old Cary Grant just fine, thanks.” Every time I see our CKDH’s name, I think of that. ---
