Specificatii
Jennifer Grant is the only child of Cary Grant, who was, and
continues to be, the epitome of all that is elegant, sophisticated,
and deft. Almost half a century after Cary Grant's retirement from
the screen, he remains the quintessential romantic comic movie
star. He stopped making movies when his daughter was born so that
he could be with her and raise her, which is just what he did. Good
Stuff is an enchanting portrait of the profound and loving
relationship between a daughter and her father, who just happens to
be one of America's most iconic male movie stars. Cary Grant's own
personal childhood archives were burned in World War I, and he took
painstaking care to ensure that his daughter would have an accurate
record of her early life. In Good Stuff, Jennifer Grant writes of
their life together through her high school and college years until
Grant's death at the age of eighty-two. Cary Grant had a happy way
of living, and he gave that to his daughter. He invented the phrase
-good stuff- to mean happiness. For the last twenty years of his
life, his daughter experienced the full vital passion of her
father's heart, and she now--delightfully--gives us a taste of it.
She writes of the lessons he taught her; of the love he showed her;
of his childhood as well as her own . . . Here are letters, notes,
and funny cards written from father to daughter and those written
from her to him . . . as well as bits of conversation between them
(Cary Grant kept a tape recorder going for most of their time
together). She writes of their life at 9966 Beverly Grove Drive,
living in a farmhouse in the midst of Beverly Hills, playing,
laughing, dining, and dancing through the thick and thin of
Jennifer's growing up; the years of his work, his travels, his
friendships with -old Hollywood royalty- (the Sinatras, the Pecks,
the Poitiers, et al.) and with just plain-old royalty (the
Rainiers) . . . We see Grant the playful dad; Grant the clown,
sharing his gifts of laughter through his warm spirit; Grant
teaching his daughter about life, about love, about boys, about
manners and money, about acting and living. Cary Grant was given
the indefinable incandescence of charm. He was a pip . . . Good
Stuff captures his special quality. It gives us the magic of a
father's devotion (and goofball-ness) as it reveals a daughter's
special odyssey and education of loving, and being loved, by a dad
who was Cary Grant.
