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 beautifully illustrated and 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.”

他标志性的下巴线条和充满魅力的角色使他成为美国的象征。他的电影，包括《抚养婴儿》、《费城故事》和《西北偏北》，是永恒的经典。然而，格兰特也结过五次婚，并与金钱保持着一种折磨人的强迫性关系。在这本图文并茂、内容全面的书中，杰弗里-万塞尔追溯了霍利森林最伟大的明星之一的光明与黑暗的线索。正如他的朋友和合作演员黛博拉-克尔所写的那样，他是 "电影史上最杰出的人物之一"。
