Non-Fiction Memoir
He was the most charming, handsome, romantic, and famous
leading man in the world... what could possibly go wrong?
With unparalleled honesty, Dyan Cannon shares the
heartwarming and heartbreaking story of her magical romance
and stormy marriage to screen legend Cary Grant. He was the
ultimate star, defining Hollywood glamour as well as
cinematic achievement. She was a bright new actress,
beautiful and funny, who would one day prove her talent by
being the first woman to receive Academy Award nominations
for her work on-screen and behind the camera. When he asked
to meet Dyan, she assumed it was for an acting part, but he
had a different role in mind for her...and so began a
storybook romance that brought her to dizzying heights. On
his arm, she found herself traveling in the inner circles of
power and glamour in which Cary Grant was king, with friends
such as Jimmy Stewart, Frank Sinatra, Audrey Hepburn, and so
many others considered Hollywood royalty. Behind closed
doors, she discovered a Cary no one knew. A thoughtful,
caring, and private person, with dark family secrets that
weighed heavily on him. He was a man contending with the
swan song of an astonishing film career while her career was
just beginning. Despite the age difference, they fell in
love, got married, and had a beautiful daughter together.
Happily Ever After still proved elusive, and their
relationship was beset with tragic twists and turns. It took
a tremendous toll on Dyan as she struggled to keep her heart
and mind intact. With rare photos and never-before-seen
letters and notes from Cary Grant, Dear Cary is told with
poignancy and hard-won wisdom. For anyone who has ever loved
and lost, Dyan Cannon’s memoir is an exploration of
what love means, and an inspirational story of surviving
life’s slings and arrows.
