Cary Grant: In Name Only

Cary Grant remains the epitome of masculine style. A legendary leading man, he was what every man aspired to be and every woman desired. Undeniably the screen's finest light comedian, his collaboration with the director Alfred Hitchcock revealed that there was a darker persona concealed behind Grant's sophisticated embodiment of the American Dream. Underlying the charm was a man determined to escape a wretched childhood in Bristol and desperate to re-invent himself.Cary Grant's life was a mass of contradictions and speculations. A self-confessed user of LSD, he was also rumoured to be gay - despite five marriages. His relationships with women were characterised by failure, brought on by his need to control and alleged abuse.Gary Morecambe's father, Eric Morecambe, enjoyed a twenty-year friendship with Grant. From this unique vantage point, the authors have examined the life, loves and career of the troubled screen icon. This first truly objective study draws on new interviews with many of Grant's friends (including Roger Moore), the Morecambe family archive and contemporary newspaper articles and interviews. Cary Grant: In Name Only explores what drove this funny, flawed man who never confronted - let alone exorcised - his inner demons.

<p>Fifty years ago, an unknown writer sat down to write a novel that gave birth to one of the most famous fictional characters ever created. The novel was Casino Royale, the novelist Ian Fleming, and the character James Bond. Bond soon eclipsed his creator, progressing from page to screen ten years later. Immortalised through Sean Connery's performance then Roger Moore's, Bond was established as a worldwide sex symbol. He became an icon, defeating enemies and seducing women - and audiences - with his devastating combination of style, wry wit and understated cool. Martini, Guns and Girls is the definitive look at the world of Bond from Fleming's inception to the latest Pierce Brosnan blockbuster. This book examines how this adult fairy tale has managed to survive and thrive despite the bewildering number of changes that have occurred since the character's creation. It also features the extraordinary individuals - including Connery, Moore, 'Cubby' Broccoli and Fleming - who made Bond. With unprecedented access to the latest film and stills from the early years, Martin Sterling and Gary Morecambe present the ultimate history of a unique literary and cinematic icon.</p>
