No current Talk conversations about this book. interesting read about one of my favorite actors. as close to a true biography as you can find on him. ( ) I am about halfway thru this book. It is so much more a memoir than a biography. With this inside look at Cary Grant's life, I have found that the crush I have always had on him is only growing by leaps and bounds. This book takes quotes not only from his very closest friends (many who are as famous as he was) but, from the very handsome, funny man himself. You come away feeling as if you missed knowing someone who wouldv'e been great fun to be friends with...like you were born at the wrong time. So far, SO GOOD!! no reviews | add a review
Charming witty effortlessly debonair and elegant Cary Grant was the ultimate leading man a silver screen icon who seemed to embody all that a movie star should be. But beneath the glamour was a real and complicated man ä surprisingly vulnerable unabashedly romantic often exacting perfectionist who rose above a traumatic childhood and failed marriages to become an incomparable Hollywood legend. In this sublimely truthful and candid portrait biographer Nancy Nelson draws on interviews with Grant as well as material from his personal papers along with loving revelatory reminiscences from some of his closest friends and loved ones ä including Katharine Hepburn Gregory Peck Audrey Hepburn Elizabeth Taylor Sophia Loren Quincy Jones James Stewart and many more ä to reveal the vaudevillian actor lover and father. With a treasury of both well-loved and rarely seen photographs and a foreword by Grant's wife Barbara and daughter Jennifer this is the definitive biography of one of the screen's greatest stars No library descriptions found. |
