Cary Grant cover

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.

This non-fiction paperback, "Cary Grant" from Graham Mccann, was published 9th January 2001 by Columbia University Press.

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.
