Book Description

October 20, 1998
GET CLOSER TO LEO THAN YOU EVER THOUGHT POSSIBLE!

As every girl in America knows, mere accolades simply fail to do Titanic star Leonardo DiCaprio justice. Now, from a close family friend who watched Leo grow into gorgeous adulthood right before her eyes, here is the book that finally brings you face-to-face with this boy wonder-ful. Brimming with exclusive photos and intimate stories only his family and friends know, Leonardo: Up Close and Personal gives you a unique glimpse of Leo as you've never seen him before--at home, at work, at play, off-guard.

See Leo grow up through photos never-before-seen in public; read touching, funny, and wonderful tales about this lovable hunk; and get the inside scoop on the real Leo. This isn't just any Leonardo biography; this is a fact- and picture-packed tribute to the one-and-only Leo from a woman who has known him for more than half his life. You won't find anything else like it. Or anyone quite like him!


Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

There's one vital ingredient in this book that makes it stand out against all of the others you've seen (and maybe bought) on Leonardo DiCaprio. This book has Victoria Looseleaf. Our author has been a friend of the DiCaprios for many years and she has nothing but praise and love for her old friends. They are special people, she's told me time and again. And their son? Well, as Victoria says in her opening chapter, "Leo, I love ya!" Check out her cool, fun stories about Leonardo DiCaprio...from a day at Dodger Stadium to Fourth of July barbecues to Leo's very first TV interview (on Ms. Looseleaf's cable access show).

If you love Leo - - and, come on, you know you do! - - you must see and read this book!

I think this book was wonderful! The pictures were of excellent quality and more intimate than those in other books. It'd be a wonderful gift for anyone who collects Leo stuff! The bio was unlike any other, and I was impressed that the author (Victoria Looseleaf) ACTUALLY knew him! Most other writers get their info from magazine articles, which I frown upon. I give this book 5 stars! Read it and you'll understand why I enjoyed it so much!

As far a all the hype about Leonardo Di Caprio has taken us, it is good to have a level-headed, accurate and sympathetic book about the young actor. Written by someone who has known him throughout his life you learn about who the real Leonardo is. He should be very pleased that Ms. Looseleaf took the time to set the story straight.

Not a good choice - a waste of money.
Ms. Looseleaf has managed to interject 4-letter words into the stories which, in my opinion, is totally not necessary. Read more
