Wrong Mann

I was shocked upon reading in Roderick Mann’s article about actors who have portrayed well-known stars in screen biographies that John Gavin portrayed Cary Grant in TV’s “Poor Little Rich Girl” (“Nigel Havers Hopes His ‘Balloon’ Doesn’t Burst,” Jan. 24).

In fact, it was James Read, who gave an excellent performance in that role.
