Theirs was the rarest of relationships—the successful marriages of two highly individualistic couples that survived their astonishing careers in the uncertain world of show business. A Family Affair is a parallel account of how these two couples grew separately but came together as an exemplary family.

Josh Kanin and Wayne Lindholm have written a delightful ping-pong portrait of Garson and Ruth (Gordon) Kanin and Michael and Fay (Mitchell) Kanin—interweaving their stories in a unique biography that runs the gamut of show business experience . . . from brothers Michael and Garsons early days in Hollywood to the familys phenomenal popularity as creators of classic movies and Broadway plays. Their credits include such memorable films as The Great Man Votes, Bachelor Mother, My Favorite Wife, Tom, Dick and Harry, Woman of the Year, A Double Life, Adams Rib, Born Yesterday, The Marrying Kind, Pat and Mike, It Should Happen to You, Rhapsody, Teachers Pet, The Rat Race and The Outrage. Their combined theatre work includes the hits Born Yesterday, Years Ago, Goodbye, My Fancy, His and Hers, The Diary of Anne Frank, A Hole in the Head, Rashamon, Do Re Mi, The Gay Life, Sunday in New York, A Gift of Time, Funny Girl and Grind.

This engaging biography also features the Kanin familys fascinating relationships with Hollywood and Broadways greatest luminaries such as Spencer Tracy, Katharine Hepburn, Greta Garbo, Billy Wilder, Cary Grant, Burgess Meredith, George Cukor, Laurence Olivier, Vivien Leigh, Jack Lemmon, Vincente Minnelli, Joan Crawford, William Wyler, Elizabeth Taylor, Clark Gable, Doris Day, Judy Holliday, George Stevens, Ronald Colman, Ginger Rogers, Edward G. Robinson, Frank Sinatra, Mia Farrow, Hal Prince, Paul Newman, Natalie Wood, Robert Redford and Barbra Streisand, among others.

Yet their story is more than a journey behind the scenes of show business. It is an intimate, absorbing look at four extraordinary artists, at the people and events that shaped them, at the private struggles, strengths and misfortunes that made them what they were. Above all, it is a tribute to what they have created together . . . to the exciting, inspiring, seemingly improbable relationships that had sustained them through the ups and downs of four highly sensational lives.
