This weekend, CBS Sunday Morning featured an interview with Jennifer Grant, Cary Grant’s only child. It’s interesting to see this other side of the famous legend—that of loving father. I enjoyed the interview and think the book sounds great. It’s nice that Jennifer obviously loves and respects her dad so much. (Unlike some celebrity children—not saying any names). ;)
Here is the interview, which features endearing home video footage of Cary and young Jennifer.

That was a beautiful interview. I'm sure I will enjoy reading her book. And, I agree, it's a breath of fresh air that Jennifer isn't trashing her dad, but is talking of him lovingly.

Who knew those movies were just a prelude to his real paternal role with Jennifer.
