George Clooney: A Biography is a penetrating account of how this unassuming, good-natured and good-looking guy from Kentucky became the hottest ticket in movies and the world's most eligible bachelor. But there is so much more to Clooney than good looks. From his pivotal role in US television's post-11 September charity telethon America: A Tribute To Heroes, to his controversial decision to take on the paparazzi on behalf of all actors, to stories of his stepping in when bullying directors have attacked co-stars, he has been proud to stand up and be counted when it mattered. He takes press intrusion in his stride, still has the same pre-fame friends and has never forgottén his roots. It's not normál 'star' behaviour. But then George Clooney is no ordinary star, as this fully up-to-date, insightful and exhaustive biography reveals. Vissza
