<P> One of the wealthiest stars in Hollywood, Grant owned houses in Beverly Hills, Malibu, and Palm Springs . He was immaculate in his personal grooming, and Edith Head, the renowned Hollywood costume designer, appreciated his "meticulous" attention to detail and considered him to have had the greatest fashion sense of any actor she had worked with . McCann attributed his "almost obsessive maintenance" with tanning, which deepened the older he got, to Douglas Fairbanks, who also had a major influence on his refined sense of dress . McCann notes that because Grant came from a working - class background and was not well educated, he made a particular effort over the course of his career to mix with high society and absorb their knowledge, manners and etiquette to compensate and cover it up . His image was meticulously crafted from the early days in Hollywood, where he would frequently sunbathe and avoid being photographed smoking, despite smoking two packs a day at the time . Grant quit smoking in the early 1950s through hypnotherapy . He remained health conscious, staying very trim and athletic even into his late career, though Grant admitted he "never crook (ed) a finger to keep fit". He confessed that he did "everything in moderation . Except making love ." </P> <P> Grant's daughter Jennifer stated that her father made hundreds of friends from all walks of life, and that their house was frequently visited by the likes of Frank and Barbara Sinatra, Quincy Jones, Gregory Peck and his wife Veronique, Johnny Carson and his wife, Kirk Kerkorian and Merv Griffin . She said that Grant and Sinatra were the closest of friends and that both men were remarkably similar in that they both shared a similar radiance and "indefinable incandescence of charm", and were eternally "high on life". While raising Jennifer, Grant archived artifacts of her childhood and adolescence in a bank - quality, room - sized vault he had installed in the house . Jennifer attributed this meticulous collection to the fact that artifacts of his own childhood had been destroyed during the Luftwaffe's bombing of Bristol in the Second World War (an event that also claimed the lives of his uncle, aunt, cousin, and the cousin's husband and grandson), and he may have wanted to prevent her from experiencing a similar loss . </P> <P> Grant lived with actor Randolph Scott off and on for 12 years, which some claimed was a gay relationship . The two met early on in Grant's career in 1932 at the Paramount studio when Scott was filming Sky Bride while Grant was shooting Sinners in the Sun, and moved in together soon afterwards . Scott's biographer Robert Nott states that there is no evidence that Grant and Scott were homosexual, and blames rumors on material written about them in other books . Grant's daughter, Jennifer, also denied the claims . When Chevy Chase joked on television in 1980 that Grant was a "homo . What a gal!", Grant sued him for slander, and Chase was forced to retract his words . Grant became a fan of Morecambe and Wise in the 1960s, and remained friends with Eric Morecambe until his death in 1984 . Grant began experimenting with the drug LSD in the late 1950s, before it became popular . His wife at the time, Betsy Drake, displayed a keen interest in psychotherapy, and through her Grant developed a considerable knowledge of the field of psychoanalysis . Radiologist Mortimer Hartman began treating him with LSD in the late 1950s, with Grant optimistic that the treatment could make him feel better about himself and rid of all of his inner turmoil stemming from his childhood and his failed relationships . He had an estimated 100 sessions over several years . For a long time, Grant viewed the drug positively, and stated that it was the solution after many years of "searching for his peace of mind", and that for first time in his life he was "truly, deeply and honestly happy". Cannon claimed during a court hearing, in which she claimed he was an "apostle of LSD", that he was still taking the drug in 1967 as part of a remedy to save their relationship . Grant later admitted that "taking LSD was an utterly foolish thing to do but I was a self - opinionated boor, hiding all kinds of layers and defences, hypocrisy and vanity . I had to get rid of them and wipe the slate clean". </P> <P> Grant was married five times . He wed Virginia Cherrill on February 9, 1934, at the Caxton Hall registry office in London . She divorced him on March 26, 1935, following charges that Grant had hit her . The two were involved in a bitter divorce case which was widely reported in the press, with Cherrill demanding $1000 a week from her husband in benefits from his Paramount earnings . After the demise of the marriage, he dated actress Phyllis Brooks from 1937 . They had considered marriage, and vacationed together in Europe in mid-1939, visiting the Roman villa of Dorothy di Frasso in Italy, before the relationship ended later that year . </P>
