Editorial Review:
At the age of twenty-three, Leonardo DiCaprio has already achieved the kind of success for which most actors strive their entire career. His talent shines in his Golden Globe-nominated performance as Jack Dawson in the blockbuster film Titanic though his turn as a modern-day Romeo to Claire Danes' Juliet had already cemented his status as a romantic personality.
But Leo isn't all glamour -- in addition to stealing the hearts of his female fans, he has gained the respect of his acting peers and cinema critics. By age nineteen, he had earned Golden Globe and Academy Award nominations for his supporting role in What's Eating Gilbert Grape? Critics have even compared Leo to such larger-than-life actors as James Dean and Brad Pitt.
From his early days on the TV series Growing Pains through the long-awaited Titanic to The Man in the Iron Mask, and his new work with Woody Allen, read all about this young actor whose star is definitely on the rise!
Leonardo Dicaprio a Biography Reviews:
Read Only if Desperate 
2002-03-26 - I thought this book was boring. It was basiclly filled with just the facts. I wanted more information on him and a little juicy gossip. The good thing about the book is it did not take much time to read. I think it would be better for younger children to read than older .
A must have book for fans of Leo 
1999-07-12 - After reading this book, i surly i know much more about Leo.Thank you to the writer of the book.
the leech monster 
1999-07-09 - I received this book as a present...it was difficult for me to express a genuine gratitude of the gift and keep a straight face at the same time. The one star: it contains some decent photos...none of which, may I add cannot be found on the internet. The loss of the four remaining stars: for lack of a better statement "teeny-bopperish" language and writing style, astrology and number games (tackless city), abscence of any previously unknown information, and its purely 'leechmoneyoffcelebrities' nature. Yep, I may be being a tad harsh but... **ugh** the last few chapters which had a general feel of a 'how compatible are you with leo?' teen mag quiz simply emphasised the obvious target audience of the book. People whose leolust factor stands at 100% (nothing wrong with that!) but whos talentappreciation factor is zzzzip. STOP PREYING ON UNSUSPECTING GENUINE FANS and LITTLE GIRLS' LIMITED POCKET MONEY BALANCES MS. KRULIK...it really pisses me off!! i dont like this book.
Pics, Info
1998-06-10 - I really loved the color pictures and really informative info. After I read this book I saw a lot of his movies and went to a lot of his websites. I really enjoyed reading about his leading ladies, too. All right Nancy E. Krulik!
It is the best book i've read about leo!!!
1998-05-22 - This book is fasinating!! not only does it tell you about leo's home life, but also his acting life, what hes done and what he plans to do in the future. it gives facts that you wouldn't think of asking about but once you read them find out there really interesting to read. This book definetly gets a 10 on my list!!
