We all know how long-lived Slazenger is. We’re lucky to have many stars and legends who have been brand ambassadors, such as Hollywood icons Cary Grant and Robert Taylor. They helped popularize our jumpers among ordinary people as Slazenger Legends.
Slazenger Legends in Hollywood
Having more than 140 movies between the two, it is reasonable to think that the film industry loved them, and that the public admired their works. Therefore, we are proud to say that these stars wore our clothes.
Cary Grant (1904-1986)
Cary Grant was a popular Hollywood actor for decades, known for his attractiveness, elegance, charm, and sharpness. He agreed well with Slazenger’s philosophy and worked with many Hollywood film divas of his time, including Marlene Dietrich, Grace Kelly, and Audrey Hepburn. He partly inspired the character of James Bond.
Although the Oscars nominated him twice, Grant did not win the prize. However, the Film Academy awarded him a special prize in recognition of his career in 1970. The Kennedy Center Honors recognized his talent and contribution to the performing arts in 1981.
Robert Taylor (1911-1969)
Robert, also known as “the man of perfect side-face,” was an American film actor and one of the great movie stars of the thirties, forties, and fifties. He was originally named Spangler Arlington Taylor and studied medicine to find a cure for his wife’s recurring health problems.
He has a grandson named Robert Hugo Taylor who is a physics and chemistry teacher at the Chetumal summits institute.
We will always be grateful to our Slazenger legends because, thanks to them, today we are who we are.
