In Grant’s 2011 memoir, Good Stuff: A Reminiscence of My Father, Cary Grant, she wrote about her famous father who was 62 when she was born.
‘Dad transformed himself in a very American can-do way,’ said Jennifer. ‘The self-made man and all that. But he was a Brit at heart, very refined and polished. Even in the way he ate. He loved his corned beef and cabbage. And crumpets. Cornflakes!’
Grant talked about her father’s past to The Guardian in 2023.
‘He rarely spoke to me of his mom and dad, particularly his father,’ she said. ‘Occasionally, he would say something kind about the way he taught him to dress. And he spoke of Elsie, my grandma, once in a while.’
She continued, ‘Given the pain of his upbringing, which forced him to push down a lot of it, he could have self-immolated, right? But it motivated him. And I think he wanted to be sure not to repeat the pattern. So the pendulum swung the other way. All the neglect he suffered meant he made sure that that was not my life.’
He died when she was only 20-years-old.
Grant was wed to director Randy Zisk from 1993 to 1996 and she has two children.
