But perhaps the most remarkable fact about Grant, as renowned biographer Marc Eliot shows, is that his personal life was every bit as interesting and dramatic as that of any character he ever played. The new details Eliot has uncovered, on everything from the former Archibald Leach's troubled childhood to his ambiguous sexuality to his dabbling with LSD, will satisfy even the fan who has read everything previously available. Equally compelling is Eliot's incisive exploration of the magical amalgam of talent, looks, and charisma that made Grant a star.

Critic reviews
"Eliot's fascinating, sympathetic portrait is of a consummate performer who hid inner demons and used filmmaking to distance himself from reality." (Publishers Weekly)

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I actually feel sad that I've come to the end of the Cary Grant bio narrated by the author, Marc Eliot. Not only has Eliot a soothing, easy on the ears speaking voice, he gives a real insight into the inner mind of a remarkable man. He portrays Grant as he was; a true hero on film, an utter gentleman but with human flaws (like the rest of us) which challenged his romantic relationships with women due to being abandoned as a child. I couldn't put this book down. I highly recommend this bio as it shows warts and all.What was one of the most memorable moments of Cary Grant?
I've always loved Grant. I was gobsmacked when I listened to his early beginnings; and his so called abandonment by his mother. This shaped the young man into becoming a great man.Any additional comments?
It's a must listen to!!Everything you ever want to know about Cary Grant!

I did enjoy many parts of this book though. The history of the flims, Mr. Grant acted in was very interesting. And I loved how the author expalined Cary Grant's view on how he wanted to be seen in his flims. He choose parts in which the leading ladies were always pursuing him, never the other way around. Smart move. That way, the audience was always wanting more.
And it is safe to say, we still are.
