• Cary Grant was the ultimate great Hollywood star, many of his 100 films remaining classics as long as movies will be seen.  His name still defines Hollywood glamour and artistic achievement.

• Dyan Cannon was, when he pursued her, a bright new actress, beautiful and funny, who would shortly prove her talent with three Academy Award nominations, one as a filmmaker, and star-making films with other great actors.
 
• Cannon’s book takes the reader inside Hollywood, the inner circles of power and glamour in which Cary Grant was king and, finally behind the closed doors where real life played out so romantically and then with such tragic twists and turns. 
 
 

Dyan Cannon's Dear Cary is a book which captures as never before Hollywood's greatest period of stardom, the time of the great stars when the price paid for that acclaim was never left on the sleeve, when the dark stories beneath the bright glitter were hidden from public view. Told with great heart, Dear Cary is a story that everyone who has ever loved can relate to. It is not only a how-to book of surviving love but also of living love.

Jacqueline Onassis and other literary figures implored her to share her amazing story. She was not able to do so until recently when, after decades, she arrived at the ending of her journey, re-achieving the ability to love and to trust love again. She could not approach the writing until she first discovered the book's theme and the theme of her own life... "You don't have to be defeated by the betrayal of love. There IS a road back." A hard won road-back for her, as the reader discovers in the flow of her fearless confrontation of where love with perhaps the most compellingly romantic icon of his century had led her.
