Cary Grant was the ulti­mate star, defin­ing Hol­ly­wood glam­our as well as cin­e­mat­ic achieve­ment.

With unpar­al­leled hon­esty, Dyan Can­non shares the heart­warm­ing and heart­break­ing sto­ry of her mag­i­cal romance and stormy mar­riage to screen leg­end Cary Grant. Fea­tur­ing rare pho­tographs and nev­er-before-seen let­ters and notes from Cary Grant, Dear Cary is told with poignan­cy and hard-won wis­dom, a sto­ry for any­one who has ever loved and lost.
