His signature jaw line and charismatic characters made him an American
symbol. His films, including Bringing Up Baby, The Philadelphia
Story, and North by Northwest, were timeless classics. However, Grant
was also married five times and sustained a tortured, obsessive
relationship with money. In this comprehensive book, Geoffrey Wansell
traces the threads of both light and darkness in one of Holly-wood's
greatest stars. As his friend and co-star Deborah Kerr wrote, he was
"one of the most outstanding personalities in the history of the
cinema."
