"No money, no material reward is comparable to the
praise, the shouts of well done and accompanying pat on the back of one's
fellowman. Applause and laughter in the theater have a similar effect; and
sometimes, today, I stand with Russell Downing, the manager of the finest,
largest cinema in the world, the Radio City Music Hall in New York, in a quiet
darkened corner, and listen to that huge audience roaring with laughter at
something I've done, the tilt of my head or a facial reaction, and joy seems to
burst within me."
-- Cary
Grant 1963

"DEAR CARY"
by Dyan Cannon
Available NOW!
Dyan Cannon wasn't
looking for romance when she sat down for lunch with Cary
Grant in the studio canteen; she was a young actress on the
outskirts of Hollywood just hoping for her big break. What
she found was a star-crossed soul mate - a man who fell
instantly in love with her, pursued her relentlessly, and
eventually persuaded her to love him back equally. Cary
Grant and Dyan Cannon were a glamorous and popular pair, the
epicenter of chic and swinging 1960s Hollywood. For a few
brief years their romance flourished; they loved big,
married, and had a daughter. In many ways their romance
played out like one of Grant's movies: bold, witty, full of
dramatic gestures, and equally tender moments. When the love
ended, it ended in the same way it had started:
dramatically. This was on courthouse steps and on the front
page of every newspaper in the world. Sweetly pitched but
never anything less than completely candid and honest,
readers will learn of a side of Cary Grant never before
seen. It has taken Cannon two decades to reconcile herself
to the death of Cary, and forgive both him and herself.
"Dear Cary" is the end result of that acceptance; her final
love letter to her one true love, Cary Grant.

In Good Stuff, Jennifer Grant writes
of her enchanted but very real life with her father, playing, laughing,
dining, and dancing together 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)
. . . until Grant’s death
at the age of eighty-two.
She writes of the love he showed
her, the lessons he taught her, of his childhood as well as her own.
Here are letters, notes, cards, and drawings from father to daughter and
from her to him . . . photographs taken at home and on their many
adventures . . . and bits of conversation between them (Cary Grant kept
a tape recorder going for most of their time together).
Good Stuff captures the magic of a
father’s devotion (and goofballness) and reveals a daughter’s special
odyssey of loving, and being loved, by a dad who was Cary Grant.

NEW RADIO SHOWS
Once again, Dorothy Glennon has
done the impossible ... she's found two "new" Cary Grant radio
shows, and another vintage snippet about Cary Grant!
The Doctor Fights; CBS, 6/6/1944; guest appearance
w/Raymond Massey. This program saluted wartime doctors and was
sponsored by the manufacturers of penicillin. Dorothy writes: I am a little disappointed as the sound
isn't great but it improves greatly after the first 15 minutes.
Signal To The World, Cavalcade of America episode
dated November 8, 1949, is an historical drama and tells the
true story of Robert Townsend. It was against the religious
convictions of Quaker Robert Townsend to practice violence or
carry weapons, but his ingenuity and courage made him the key
man in one of the most effective spy rings ever known. Posing as
a prosperous merchant in support of the Torys, Townsend had many
friends among the British officers, including their
Commander-in-Chief Sir Henry Clinton. When the British suspected
who the spy might be, they seized Townsend's wife Susan, and he
had to make a choice between his religious convictions and his
patriotism. Hopefully it will prove another good addition to
the website and interest all the CG radio program fans out
there.
People You'd Like to Know - Another find is only
interesting in that it was recorded by Dorothy Kilgallen from a
short series called 'People you'd like to know' and I thought I
would attach just to let you hear it as it is really just a
novelty.
