This is the story of the romance and marriage and divorce of Cary Grant (one of my favorite actors) and Dyan Cannon (who became a favorite after her performances on Aly McBeal in the 1990's).

This book totally upset me about Cary Grant and his behavior.

the fact that Ms. Cannon dispels the rumors about Mr. Grant's life prior to meeting her. I always felt that a lot of that was made up rubbish. How could someone present day know whether someone in the 1930's was gay or not. Rubbish. Made up rubbish there.

what Cary grant did with Ms. Cannon's dog, Bangs. I HATED that. It made me dislike him. Then the LSD and coercing her to do that. That made me think he was a nutcase. I know that he had a lot of problems growing up. They lied and told him his mother was dead and he believed that for 20 years during the formative years of his life. I think it made him a bit of a sadist and a nut his own self.

I don't know. It upset me.

like Cary Grant could be charming and he could be a monster. He was a great actor. Maybe you have to be a monster to be a great actor.

comes across as honest and straightforward. I still am sad about her dog, Bangs.

if you want insight into Cary Grant, this gives it to you. Would I have rather lived in a dream world and not known what a cruel guy he could be. The answer is yes to that, but now I know it and will never see him in the same light. Poor poor Bangs.
