Odd that they call out Cary Grant, he was in fact British.
His accent was his native Bristol at base, with Americanisms heaped on top, a Mid-Atlantic destination arrived at from the opposite direction of contemporary American actors. But with his short American a's and clipped cadence, to my ear his delivery often seems closer to that of his American co-stars than to that of his English ones. For example, take a listen to the trailer of The Grass is Greener (1961) [0], in which Grant plays alongside a cast from both sides of the Atlantic. Hear it?
(I'm American and have lived in England, by the way.)
I've never thought of Cary Grant's accent to be anything but English. I don't hear any American in it at all.
