We all know the smile of Tom Cruise, but what lies beneath that Cheshire grin? In this truly revelatory, completely unauthorized biography, celebrity watcher Andrew Morton takes us behind the public image of the hardworking, charismatic actor to explore the real man. The famed biographer of Princess Diana penetrates the equally formidable "royal" wall that surrounds the world's most famous Scientologist. With an intensity that has drawn comparison to Bob Woodward, Morton documents Cruise's troubled childhood (abandoned by his father; shunted from school to school; seldom remaining two years in the same place) and his mercurial rise to fame but not personal security. Certain to be one of the most discussed biographies of recent years.
