Hugh Grant
BIRTHDAY: September 9
Some say Hugh Grant
always plays, well, Hugh Grant.
But who’d do it better? The
callow young fellow in Four
Weddings and a Funeral (and
an ex-groundskeeper for
London’s Fulham Football
Club) has matured nicely,
morphing into the world-weary
charmers of Love Actually and
Music and Lyrics. Next he may
star in a My Fair Lady remake
as Professor Higgins—a role
once declined by another
Grant who played himself, a
chap named Cary. —Bill Newcott
