Tom
Cruise: An Unauthorized Biography
Andrew Morton (2008)
ЗАКАЗАТЬ
Everyone
knows Tom Cruise - or at least what he wants us to know. We know that he overcame
a difficult childhood to star in an astonishing array of blockbusters: "Top
Gun", "Rain Man", "Born on the Fourth of July", "A
Few Good Men", "Interview with the Vampire", "Jerry Maguire", three "Mission: Impossible" movies, "War of the Worlds", and
more. We know he has taken artistic chances, too, and as a result has earned three
Academy Award nominations and three Golden Globes, along with the respect of acting
legends like Paul Newman and Dustin Hoffman.
After that, the picture becomes
a little less clear. We know that Tom is a Scientologist, but not necessarily
what that means in his life. We know that, despite persistent rumors about his
sexuality, he has been married to Mimi Rogers, Nicole Kidman, and Katie Holmes.
But it was not until the spring of 2005, when he jumped on Oprah's couch to proclaim
his love for Katie and denounced Brooke Shields for turning to the "Nazi
science" of psychiatry, that we began to realize how much we didn't know
about the charming, hardworking star.
For two years, award-winning biographer
Andrew Morton has been tirelessly seeking out everyone from former teachers and
girlfriends to Scientology insiders to friends who have watched a once-bullied,
"nothing special" outsider transform himself into an icon Forbes has
called the most powerful celebrity in the world. Here, with never-seen photos
and never-heard revelations, is a riveting, sometimes shocking portrait of the
real Tom Cruise - his work, his love life, his marriages, his religion - from
a master at uncovering the true story behind the public face of celebrity.
