The Life of a Hollywood Icon (Cary Grant)

Cary Grant is one of the brilliant actors who donned the silver screen for over 30 years. He had the good fortune of working with some of the most beautiful and talented women of Hollywood. Yet his personal life intrigued many fans and his co-stars for years. Various authors have addressed these questions, but it is nice to know what his daughter has to say about these rumors. She describes Cary Grant as "a happy father." A significant part of the book is about Grant as a father and how he cared his only daughter, and how much she enjoyed growing up with him.

Although Cary Grant was married five times, his sexuality was a hot topic as he was rumored to be a bisexual. Jennifer Grant says that "there are interesting misconceptions about dad," she would "leave these misconceptions to themselves." She believes that her father encouraged that thought because it made women liked to prove that assumption is wrong. She does not go into specifics, and she doesn't even speak of his alleged partner, Randolph Scott. But she has a great recollection of what a wonderful father he was. It is great to see Cary in movies and it is even more interesting to read about his life written by his daughter.
