Description
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.
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.
