Monday, June 7, 2010Chris Noth: the Cary Grant of our time
I hate to dwell on Sex & the City 2. It isn’t a particularly good movie. But any S&TC project is an event and I have been captivated by the entire series...In any case this is NOT about S&TC 2. It’s about S&TC 2 star Chris Noth.....This man, quite simply, doesn’t get the recognition he deserves. True, he has starred in Law & Order, several smaller H’wood movies and in theatrical productions. But his character – at least as presented in S&TC – is a knockout and worthy of higher things. I’ve always thought Noth (rhymes with both but true pronunciation is ‘note’ as his ancestry is from France’s Alsace-Lorraine) is the Cary Grant of our time. He’s debonair, handsome, has class & style, can call up a thousand thoughts with a slight facial expression, is of good humour, and seems genuinely kind. In other words he has a magnetic persona, the kind of star you can’t take your eyes off of, not just because of his good looks but because of his entire personality......I was lucky to have a chance to speak to him a couple of years back, and half-joked “you’re the Cary Grant of our time.” He chuckled but I could tell he appreciated the comment.....A few notes about him: born in Madison, Wi. in 1954 (same year as me!), son of CBS News correspondent Jeanne Parr, graduate of Yale School of Drama. Of course he has a strong local Windsor connection, married to Tara Wilson, whom he met working in his Manhattan bar The Cutting Room. Wilson is from Windsor. The two opened Once Upon a Tea Cup in Windsor, a novel idea for a tea room for busy moms and kids, which unfortunately closed and re-opened in – ay! - London, Ontario.
