Cary Grant: In Name OnlyA legendary leading man, Cary Grant, was what every man aspired to be and every woman desired. But underlying the charm was a man determined to escape a wretched childhood, and reinvent himself. His life was a mass of contradictions and speculations. Gary Morecombe's father, Eric, enjoyed a 20 year friendship with Grant and from this unique advantage point the authors have examined his life, loves and career of the troubled screen icon. This first truly objective study explores what drove this funny, flawed man who never confronted...let alone exorcised...his inner demons. |
