Julia Roberts wuchs nach der Scheidung ihrer Eltern auf und zog mit 17 nach New York, um Schauspielerin zu werden. Ihr Bruder Eric half ihr, und nach ihrem Durchbruch in "Pretty Woman" wurde sie eine der bekanntesten Schauspielerinnen. Ihr Privatleben war turbulent, doch seit 2002 ist sie glücklich mit Kameramann Daniel Moder verheiratet und hat drei Kinder.
America's Pretty Woman and Hollywood's highest-paid actress, Julia Roberts is a fascinating study in contradictions. She evokes sexiness and innocence all in single glance. She can be outgoing and funny one moment, shy and sad the next. Writer and long-time entertainment broadcaster Colin MacLean captures the remarkable life and personality that, in all its complexity, is Julia Roberts. He chronicles her meteoric rise to stardom following the release of the film Pretty Woman and her numerous and sometimes notorious off-screen romances with such co-stars as Liam Neeson and Dylan McDermott. For Roberts, life has been a roller coaster. She has starred in films that were complete failures, right alongside such memorable cinema as Erin Brockovich and The Pelican Brief. Her private life has been lived out in a goldfish bowl, from her almost-first marriage to actor Kiefer Sutherland to her new starring role as the mother of twins. In Julia's own words and those of friends and critics who have shared the ride with her, we learn about her soaring career following a troubled childhood. What emerges is a portrait of someone of great talent, who is both tough as well as vulnerable.
From commercials for MatchBox cars to the King of the World and beyond, Leonardo DiCaprio began his acting career on the sound stage of the children's program Romper Room. Although unceremoniously kicked off the show for bad behavior at age five, he knew early on that acting on film was his lifelong dream, and he is now one of the hottest properties in Hollywood.Colin MacLean, entertainment journalist extraodinaire, takes an in-depth, intimate look at the friendly, outgoing, open young man from East Hollywood who never asked to be every young girl's pin-up. Using personal observations from Leo and those around him, MacLean shows how the actor was almost destroyed by his sudden plunge into fame and how he overcame his image as a lightweight playboy.Following the worldwide phenomenon of James Cameron's Titanic, he has proven his ability and continuing box-office clout in films with such distinguished directors as Steven Spielberg in Catch Me If You Can and Martin Scorsese in Gangs of New York and the much-touted The Aviator.
