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:
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
British-American film critic David Thomson, who considers Grant 'the most important actor in the ceinma,' calls this the best book about him so far. Desert Sun (Knight Ridder Newspapers)
