Tom
Cruise is undoubtedly one of Hollywood's biggest
stars and of the most powerful actors of his
generation. He became a star in his first film,
Risky Business, before he was 21. His later career
has seen a stellar rise to fame, through films
such as Top Gun, Rain Man, Jerry Maguire and
Mission Impossible, to the point that he is the
only man in Hollywood who can 'open' a movie. But
he is equally well known for his rocky personal
life and most lately, his controversial attachment
to Scientology. And it has lately seemed, with his
highly-publicized on- and off-screen romances,
that the divide between screen and real life has
become increasingly narrow. In this book, the
first biography in twelve years, acclaimed film
critic Iain Johnstone tells the story of both the
man and his work. This is the inside story of the
making of Tom Cruise the Hollywood legend, his
extraordinary achievements and how Tom's onscreen
life is formed by his personal experiences - or is
it the other way around? This is a pacey,
entertaining and insightful biography of one of
the most iconic stars of our day. |
