Like Chaplin, Cary Grant grew up poor, trained as an acrobat, and brims with confidence, romance, and a spirit of merry larceny#8212;he just has a better tailor. His impeccable timing and light, cat burglar#8217;s touch at stealing women#8217;s hearts were perfect for the jaunty heroics and romantic farce of such classic films as IAn Affair to Remember/I, INotorious/I, IHis Girl Friday/I, INorth By Northwest/I, IBringing Up Baby/I, and ITo Catch a Thief/I. In the end, the role became the man#8212;he had ceased to play #8220;Cary Grant#8221; and simply was Cary Grant. One could wish no man any greater happiness than thatPMovie Icons is a series of photo books that feature the most famous personalities in the history of cinema. These 192-page books are visual biographies of the stars. For each title, series editor BPaul Duncan/B has painstakingly selected approximately 150 high quality enigmatic and sumptuous portraits, colorful posters and lobby cards, rare film stills, and previously unpublished candid photos showing the stars as they really are. These images are accompanied by concise introductory essays by leading film writers; each book also includes a chronology, a filmography, and a bibliography, and is peppered with apposite quotes from the movies and from life.P
