Grant was more than a movie star, but also a symbol of movie-stardom. He's a prototype of the romantic male lead.
His name appears in dozens of song lyrics[1], many of them from after his death. Many are in other languages, and he's often paired with a similarly famous female star (Bette Davis, Audrey Hepburn).
I suspect many people have heard of him even if they can't name a single film he was in.
