Non-Fiction Biography
1992: Andrew Morton showed a Princess in a
light we had never seen before--Diana: Her True
Story became a #1 New York Times
bestseller. 1999: Andrew Morton revealed
the young woman behind the blue dress--Monica’s
Story was a #1 New York Times
bestseller.
January 15, 2008: Andrew
Morton uncovers the true story of the biggest celebrity of
our age.
Everyone knows Tom Cruise---or at least
certain things about him. We know that he overcame a
difficult childhood to star in 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.
