Product Description

Real-Life Reader Biographies present the lives of contemporary role models for young readers. These are the stories of real men and women who, despite many obstacles, followed their dreams.

Most of her fans know her as "Batgirl" from Batman and Robin, or Cher, the star of Clueless, or the girl from the Aerosmith videos. But many don't know that she is a very private person who also works hard for many charities to protect all animals on the planet. She is an extremely motivated, likable, and down-to-earth young actress, qualities that are hard to find in Hollywood these days.

Alicia Silverstone got her start as an actress while she was very young. Her father took many pictures of her as a child, and Alicia began to get jobs modeling and acting in commercials. Eventually, she decided that modeling was not for her.

In 1995, she won the role of Cher in Clueless, which is probably her best known movie. Although Alicia is not like Cher, she enjoyed acting in a comedy. With such great talent, Alicia is sure to be a success for years to come.

3.0 out of 5 stars Alicia Silverstone Fetchingly Ingenue, November 11, 2002

By	"wind-blown" (Suburbs of a Heartland) - See all my reviews

A very- pleasing book for all Teen-
Angst Fans- especially those of Alicia's
the "Aerosmith Chick". For those of us
who LOVE Drooling over Alicia- and everything
she's in- you'll want to get this book to
add to your Collection. One very nice and
interesting tid bit of information is that
she- Alicia, now believes that her religion
is simply knowing herself and knowing who
the most important people in her life are-
As opposed to an organized religion. This
book features many pictures in Black and White
and none of which that are in color. One really
rare pict. that I have not seen before is featured in
this book- it is with Alicia and her brother
and two parents. I would have given this book
a Higher rating if there were some color pictures
in it- and not just Black and White ones.
All in all a good- read, but, Don't expect Alicia's
Life story, this is just a Bird's Eye view of it.
