Cary Grant and Barbara Hutton were married on July 8th, 1942.
The press dubbed the couple "Cash and Cary", but Grant never needed Barbara Hutton's money or her name.
Cary Grant was Freddie Brisson's Best man at his wedding and Barbara Hutton was one of Rosalind Russell's bridesmaids.
They first met on the French liner "Normandie" and then encountered each other in various parts of the world. They managed to keep their relationship quiet and the wedding was planned as a top secret event. Even the local pastor, who was to conduct the six minute service in the Lake Arrowhead home of Frank Vincent, did not know the identity of the couple!
Cary took a day off filming Once Upon a Honeymoon for the wedding.
Hutton was one of the wealthiest women in the world. She married seven times, and had one son, Lance, with second husband, Count Kurt von Haugwitz-Reventlow.
Lance and Grant were fond of each other, Grant becoming a father figure, and Lance called Grant "General".
They were married for 3 years, and in the divorce settlement Cary Grant didn't request and money.
