Book Presentation:
More than a biography, this is a savvy portrait of how Archie Leach, born to a poor working-class family in Bristol, England became Cary Grant, one of Hollywood's most irresistible and admired celebrities of all time.
About the Author:
Graham McCann teaches at King's College, Cambridge University.
Press Reviews:
(Grant) was apparently no picnic for wives and lovers, who ultimately discovered the devil in his details. But at least three women in his life found him just perfect: his mother, to whom Grant was devoted after their reunion until she died in 1973, shortly before her 96th birthday; Jennifer Grant, his daughter; and his fifth wife, Barbara Harris. For the rest of the world, as the critic Pauline Kael noted, "It makes us happy just to look at him." -- The New York Times Book Review, Andrea Higbie
McCann's well-researched addition is particularly valuable for its careful investigation of old canards. -- Publishers Weekly
More than a dozen previous books about the actor are available, but McCann's well-researched addition is particularly valuable for its careful investigation of old canards. -- Publishers Weekly
