“Everybody wants to be Cary Grant. Even I want to be Cary Grant.”—Cary Grant

He is Hollywood’s most fascinating and timeless star. Although he came to personify the debonair American, Cary Grant was born Archibald Leach on January 18, 1904, in the seaport village of Bristol, England. Combining the captivating beauty of silent-screen legend Rudolph Valentino with the masculine irresistibility of Clark Gable, Grant emerged as Hollywood’s quintessential leading man. Today, “the man from dream city,” as critic Pauline Kael once described him, remains forever young, an icon of quick wit, romantic charm, and urbane sophistication, the epitome of male physical perfection. Yet beneath this idealized movie image was a conflicted man struggling to balance fame with a desire for an intensely private life separate from the “Cary Grant” persona celebrated by directors and movie studios.

Exploring Grant’s troubled childhood, ambiguous sexuality, and lifelong insecurities as well as the magical amalgam of characteristics that allowed him to remain Hollywood’s favorite romantic lead for more than thirty-five years, Cary Grant is the definitive examination of every aspect of Grant’s professional and private life, and the first to reveal the man behind the movie star.

Working with the most talented directors of his time, Grant starred in an astonishing seventy-two films, ranging from his groundbreaking comedic roles in such classics as Bringing Up Baby (Howard Hawks) and The Philadelphia Story (George Cukor) to the darker, unforgettable characters of Alfred Hitchcock’s Suspicion and Notorious, culminating in the consummate sophisticates of An Affair to Remember (Leo McCarey), North by Northwest (Hitchcock), and Charade (Stanley Donen). The camera loved Grant, and his magnetism helped illuminate his leading ladies, some of the most glamorous women ever to grace the silver screen: Mae West, Irene Dunne, Katharine Hepburn, Ingrid Bergman, Grace Kelly, and Sophia Loren, among others. Yet, because of his pioneering role as an independent player, Grant was repeatedly denied the Oscar he coveted—a snub from the Academy that would last until 1970, when he graciously accepted a special lifetime achievement award.

Grant’s sparkling image on-screen hid a tumultuous personal life that he tried desperately to keep out of the public eye, including his controversial eleven-year relationship with Randolph Scott, five marriages, and numerous affairs.

Rigorously researched and elegantly written, Cary Grant: A Biography is a complete, nuanced portrait of the greatest Hollywood star in cinema history.

  看到《第二基地》的影子。卢基扬年科对安东这个名字真是有特别的爱，对鞭子这个武器也有无比的热爱啊。从守夜人到幻影迷宫到雪舞者，最厉害的近身武器永远是鞭子。总体来说，面对的读者年龄还是应该较低的，少年小说吧。

         想不出很恰当地适合这本书的书评的名字，只能就借用蓝紫大人的原书名字好了。

      我很喜欢在旅途中带上蓝紫大人的书，她笔下的每个故事都是完全不同的，让读者有很强烈的新鲜感。

      这个故事，我开始是在晋江上追了几章的，虽然我从不惊讶蓝紫大人的新作品会是一个完全不同的故事，但是，没想到故事居然是在美国开始，真的很令人惊讶。

      所以我后来不追文了，直接等书出来。书封面的云淡风轻之感，非常适合这个故事，放飞一个人的心，就应该是这样吧。

      这不是一个单纯的言情的故事，蓝紫大人的书早就不是小言这类的，是都市小说吧，我认为比较合适。

      故事比较特别，我看得极慢，慢慢地被整个故事所感动，真爱是怎么样的？就是象这个故事里这样。蓝紫大人笔下的爱情还是有共通点的，细水长流，真爱永恒，是她笔下的爱情的主旨。

      这故事特别的是倒叙上一代的爱情故事，来折射这一代的爱情。两者之间有互通。都在阐述一种绝对的真爱。

      我个人不太喜欢甘遂和茵陈的爱情，尤不喜甘遂这个不负责任的花花公子，但是却很欣赏茵陈的坚韧，自爱，自尊，的个性。但是这样一个女孩子，却一个人孤独地死在异乡，虽然她连身后事也能料理得很好，但是生活对她未免还是残酷了一些。她爱那个人，用自己的方式，可惜那个人并不珍惜。

      甘遂这个人，不想说，不算反面，但是正面的形象也不太好，花花公子一个，完全不懂得情为何物，但是他后来用自我放逐的方式来惩罚自己不珍惜茵陈的爱，我觉得也就够了，不是说要原谅他，有时候对一个人最好的惩罚，就是让他永远活在愧疚里。

      再说回常山，小时候是一个非常渴望爱的孩子，因为是养子，活得谨小慎微，非常会查颜观色，但是这样，他仍然被抛弃，但是他对生活的态度从来没有改变过，一定要真诚地去爱，坦然地面对生活的每一次考验，非常喜欢常山，果然是茵陈的儿子。

      这本书在背景的描写得非常特别，我知道蓝紫大大现在很喜欢雨花石，所以在雨花石的着墨就比较多一些，在写景观的方面，特别细致，因为我去年才去了上海和南京，还有苏州，所以当看到大大的写那些熟悉的景致时，有特别的亲切感，尤其是豫园，写得非常好看。

      看这个故事，把自己的节奏放慢点，它并没有那种声嘶力竭，痛彻心肺的伤痛感，但是却让人非常地动容，一点一点地渗透，然后唏嘘，然后释然……
