Synopsis
Criticism and controversy have surrounded the blockbuster actor's connection to the cultish Church of Scientology for years, but Tom Cruise receives one of his most thorough drubbings at the hands of Andrew Morton, a professional celebrity writer who has previously written biographies of Posh Spice and David Beckham, Madonna, and Princess Di. TOM CRUISE: AN UNAUTHORIZED BIOGRAPHY certainly discusses Cruise's charm and star power, but its main focus is how Cruise has latched on to the quirky and creepy Church of Scientology as a way to bolster his megalomaniacal ego. If Cruise comes across looking bad in the book, the Church of Scientology's current leader (and Cruise's best friend) David Miscavige appears as a golden-tongued devil--Miscavige has been accused of beating his followers and cruelly subjecting his Church rivals to a procedure known as "the walking cure" in which they must continually walk from the moment they wake until the moment they fall down from weariness.

Industry reviews
"[In] Mr. Cruise, Mr. Morton sees a domineering, aggressive character who has joined forces with Scientology to catapult his activities beyond the realm of mere glitter." (01/10/2008)

Tom Cruise Biography Nicole Kidman Katie Holmes Mimi Rogers

Up for bids is this hard cover version of Tom Cruise: An Unauthorized Biography, which was written by famed biographer Andrew Morton and is BRAND NEW with a reminder dot (NOT a library book; NO punch holes).

Everyone knows Tom Cruise—or at least what he wants us to know. We know that the man behind the smile overcame a tough childhood to star in astonishing array of blockbusters: Top Gun, Rain Man, Born on the Fourth of July, A Few Good Men, Jerry Maguire, three Mission: Impossible movies, and more. We know he has taken artistic chances, too, earning him three Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations. But beyond that, the picture becomes a bit less clear…

“Morton digs deep for the real Tom Cruise.”
—Cindy Adams, The New York Post

We know that Tom is a devoted follower of the Church of Scientology. 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 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 did not know about the charming, hardworking star. For all the headlines and the rumors, the real Tom Cruise has remained surprisingly hidden—until now.

“Scalding.”
