Betsy Drake (born September 11, 1923) is an American actress, best remembered as the third wife of actor Cary Grant. Drake, the eldest child of two American expatriates, was born in Paris in 1923. Although her grandfather, Tracy Drake, and great uncle, John Drake (1872-1964), had built the Drake Hotel in Chicago, IL, the Drakes lost their money in the 1929 stock market crash, which forced her to pay for drama lessons by modeling and working as a switchboard operator.
