Tom Cruise

TOM CRUISE UNAUTHORIZED

by Wensley Clarkson

"One of the best books ever written about a movie superstar...it's sensational"

— Sunday Mirror, London

Tom Cruise is among the highest paid movie stars in the world and his films have grossed over two billion dollars. And yet, as famous as he is, there is no serious, up-to-date biographical ledger about him. This book, which the author researched for two years, is an in-depth, compelling, and unsanitized portrait of the popular actor and his controversial affiliations.

Marilyn Monroe

Most of the 85 books on Marilyn Monroe present the dramatic events of her life through a glass darkly. This book dares to explore her emotions and her mental state in order to explain, for the first time, why the beautiful and highly acclaimed actress was driven to suicide at the age of thirty-six.

It's a mystery story in search of a killer. As if the facts were shards from a broken mirror, the author has pieced together parallel portraits of Norma Jean and Marilyn Monroe. The book describes the depths of her earlier and later hurts and why beauty, talent and global acclaim were not enough to keep her from the tragic act of dying at her own hand.

LUCY FREEMAN, former NY Times reporter specializing in mental health, is the author of 74 books. She spent five years researching Marilyn's life and was assisted by veteran publicist Eddie Jaffe, a founding member of the Association for Applied Psychoanalysis.

Mona Lisa Mystery

 

MORE ABOUT DA VINCI'S MYSTERY AND THE DA VINCI CODE

Leonardo Da Vinci has been so idolized that he is regarded as a genius far ahead of his time — artist, musician, architect, mathematician, and scientist.

He used his experiments in science to enhance his paintings. Studies of anatomy helped him draw the human figure, and mathematics assisted him to organize the space in his paintings. People still marvel at his mural The Last Supper, and his most famous painting, the Mona Lisa.

The ingenuity of his ideas, the precision of his observations, and his extraordinary versatility are well known. Had he organized and published his results, his influence on the course of scientific development might have been profound. His notebooks have never been published in complete form.
