His last movie, Walk, Don't Run, was released in 1966, but Cary Grant, who turned 80 last week, has never lost his Hollywood gloss-or his penchant for privacy. In an effort to keep his birthday "as low key as possible," the actor, born in England as Archie Leach, celebrated by staying home with his wife Barbara, 33, while calls and presents poured in from well-wishers...
