Hugh Grant Wouldn’t you like that this story begins on Courtney Avenue, a side street off Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles. But Hugh Grant doesn’t like a lot of what people say about him, so it doesn’t matter. A text about Grant has to start on that street, because there, already quite self-confident and incidentally dating Liz Hurley in England, he found himself caught up in a maelstrom of tabloids and scandal.
