The Unauthorized Biography of Leonardo DiCaprio "I prefer ordinary girls - you know, college students, waitresses, that sort of thing." -Leonardo DiCaprio Over the past two decades, Leonardo DiCaprio has shaken off his early image as a teen heartthrob to become both a critical favorite and one of Hollywood's most bankable stars.

In this convenient, fast-paced book, author James Diamond traces DiCaprio's meteoric rise from his unusual childhood, to his big break with What's Eating Gilbert Grape, to his crowning achievement to date: the Academy Award for Best Actor. We see step-by-step how DiCaprio honed his craft, from soap operas to sitcoms and finally to the big screen. At every stage, Diamond brings the magic of DiCaprio's performances to life.
