Other
Cary Grant Radio Appearances

Marx. The show lasted only a few months and became one
of the most talked about failures on the radio. - FCC

 Mr.
and Mrs. Blandings; NBC, 1/21/1951 to 9/1951;
w/Betsy Drake
After the success of Grant's film, it was decided that a radio
show based on the movie might be successful, too. The
critics were not enthusiastic about the adventures of Jim and
Muriel Blandings, and the reviews were not good. Grant
blamed the show's problems on poor writing, and turned down
many scripts until he found an acceptable one - one written by
his wife. Sponsored by Trans World Airlines, the show
never caught on.- Radiothon; 1970s;
Grant appeared in this radiothon for the Leukemia Foundation
playing the part of a concerned parent asking a doctor
questions about leukemia.
Special thanks to
Jack Haverty, Cheryl Trahan, Karen Bezman,
Jen Romkee, Irena Pasvinter & Susan Evans for all of these
radio shows!!
(If I've missed thanking anyone, please let me
know!!)
