Re: Another foreigner becomes "American"

Bambi B,

I enjoyed your post very much! The part about foreign actors becoming so successful that we think of them as "American" reminds me of perhaps the most famous example: Cary Grant. In her essay "The Man from Dream City", Pauline Kael recalls the conversation between Grant and the producer of the film version of "My Fair Lady". Seems the producer wanted Grant to play Higgins and Grant laughed, saying, "My dear sir, I talk like Eliza did in the beginning of the play!"
