I wanted to poll the hive re: a choice I have to make for one of my wedding projects. Which of the following two onscreen couples do you find more romantic/recognizable, and why?
1. Audrey Hepburn + Cary Grant
2. Audrey Hepburn + Humphrey Bogart
Your input would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance for all your responses!
Not Bogart. He's just too old for her, and looks it. I couldn't watch "Sabrina" without thinking "ewwww!" because of that. Cary Grant at least looks less... weathered.
Yes, definitely Cary Grant! Also, I associate Bogart with Katherine Hepburn (to whom he was married or at least in a reltionship with, I believe) so much that I could never picture him with anyone else.
Can we add a nomination? In terms of recognizable and romantic, I'd pair Aubrey with Gregory Peck. Roman Holiday is such a classic (plus he's way more handsome in it than either Grant or Bogey!). Although, the movie does have a completely bittersweet ending, so it might not work for your project!
MissSnapdragon...did you mean to say Bogart and Lauren Bacall? Cuz I'm pretty sure they were never an item as Katherine Hepburn was linked with Spencer Tracy.
Favorite onscreen couple....Scarlett and Rhett (Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable) for the win!!!

Also, I am SO with you on Scarlett and Rhett!
posted by MissSnapdragon 88 posts 1 month agoI love love love Bogey, but for the purpose of your question, I'd have to agree with the majority and say Cary Grant.
(Do we get to find out what your project is?? I'm intrigued
)

posted by rzblna 113 posts 1 month agoI'll also vote for Gregory Peck.
Grant is too old for Hepburn (26 years her senior). Bogey I assoicate with Bacall.
posted by Pengwen 57 posts 1 month agoUnfortunately, Gregory Peck is not an option for my project, otherwise he would win hands-down! Thanks for all your votes, ladies. Keep 'em coming! :)
