Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

George Clooney may not be the world's last great movie star, as the subtitle would have it, but he certainly has magnetism. Potts (Everything I Need to Know I Learned from a Chick Flick) has gathered material on Clooney from all of America's major magazines, from People to Playboy, and has tracked Clooney's career from his first commercials through ER and other television work to his latest films. Since Clooney's been adamant that his career is more important to him than his love affairs, there's not a lot of wiggle room for romance reportage, so Potts has had to think more about Clooney's career arc, his transition from television to movie work and his decision to become known as a politically aware moviemaker. While Potts did not interview Clooney or any of his cohorts, she has crafted a readable if thin account of his career, complete with a filmography of his work and a listing of his personal top 100 favorite films.

Product Description

He's famous for being named People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive, his penchant for practical jokes, and his vow never to remarry, as well as his Oscar-winning and Emmy-nominated acting career. But George Clooney's reputation as "the mayor of every movie set he's on" belies his essential seriousness, as a businessman and in his ascendancy to the Hollywood A-list. In George Clooney: The Last Great Movie Star, Kimberly Potts traces the star's life from the small-town boy to big-screen star. After spending a decade languishing in failed TV series, he slowly and deliberately built a resume that took him from TV stardom on ER to a winning film career as a serious actor, writer, producer and director. Along the way are his early attempts to break out into film (including his Batman movie flop),his many well-publicized romances, his political and humanitarian efforts, and his shrewdly developed formula for choosing smart blockbuster movie projects that he uses to finance his more personal passion projects, such as Syriana and good night, and good luck., finding success with both.
