I have a lot of favorite films. I tend to love the silliness of ‘Bringing Up Baby.’ ‘Charade’ is fantastic. ‘His Girl Friday,’ the banter in that, that alone made me want to be a writer. Jennifer Grant Read Quote
I don’t think I’ve ever seen him in a movie theater! I’ve only seen him on TV. Wow, that’s so silly of me! We only saw one of his films together, it was with a group of people, and when he kissed Deborah Kerr, I jumped off the couch and I ran up and I slapped the screen. I was so upset that my father was kissing this woman I didn’t even know! Jennifer Grant Read Quote
My son Cary’s generation likely won’t know who my father was, but it’s something nice for him that his grandfather was an icon. I had one chance to pass along that name. Jennifer Grant Read Quote
Dad was synonymous with his charm and wit and grace, and it was sort of the perfect way to go for him. Jennifer Grant Read Quote
The process was remarkably cathartic. I’d sit and listen to my father’s voice – having not heard some of these tapes for 30 years and hearing his voice laying me down for a nap, our giggles and cooking dinner – and I remembered all those wonderful days. Normal days. Jennifer Grant Read Quote
I remember him reading ‘Sleeping Beauty,’ and he would play the score by Tchaikovsky as he read it. We’d also read ‘Winnie the Pooh,’ and, you know, those probably that he most often read me were ‘Beatrix Potter’ books, ‘The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck’ and ‘The Tale of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle.’ I still have at least 15 of them.

Cary Benjamin sleeps dreamily on my stomach as we’re both bonding and recuperating. He’s phenomenal. Jennifer Grant Read Quote
Can’t blame men for wanting him. And wouldn’t be surprised if Dad even mildly flirted back. Dad somewhat enjoyed being called gay. He said it made women want to prove the assertion wrong. Jennifer Grant Read Quote
The best word to describe my father? Thoughtful. There was a tender quality to Dad that his sense of fun could sometimes mask. But, above all, he was sensitive and looked out for those he loved. Jennifer Grant Read Quote
