Product Description
Product Description
Brad Pitt debuted in the 1991 hit Thelma and Louise, and Winona Ryder made her name in 1989's cult sensation Heathers. Bigger roles and top billing were quick to follow for both. Today, the two are sex symbols and generational icons whose names are synonymous with box office success. These striking oversized books explore and document their lives and phenomenal careers.
Each of their successive films -- including recent challenging roles such as Pitt's in The Devil's Own and Ryder's in The Crucible -- have further cemented their standing as serious actors. Both are media darlings and appear frequently on magazine covers; their film careers as well as their relationships (Pitt with Gwyneth Paltrow, Ryder with Johnny Depp and Soul Asylum's Dave Pirner) are eagerly followed by millions of fans anxious for details.
Produced to the same lavish specifications as Little, Brown's previous bestsellers Cobain and Garcia, Brad Pitt and Winona Ryder are gorgeously illustrated with images by top Us and Rolling Stone photographers, movie stills, and rare studio outtakes. The substantial texts include profiles, interviews, and movie reviews drawn from Us and Rolling Stone, newly commissioned biographical overviews, and complete filmographies. With major motion pictures starring both actors set for release in the fall -- Seven Years in Tibet for Pitt, Alien: Resurrection for Ryder -- these beautiful, affordably priced hardcovers are certain to be two of 1997's premier holiday gift books.

I bought this book a couple of years ago for a project at uni (no, really!) and since then it has done the rounds through ALL my mates, both male and female. Well everyone likes seeing how the other half live, don't they. This book charts the actor's life from his pre-acting days through to his rise to super-stardom. It's stuffed full of pictures, quotes and interviews all of which lend you a little glimpse into Brad's life. The style is quite informal so that rather than reading "he did this, he did that" you get something a bit more entertaining. I think that if you're a fan of Mr Pitt, this book is an absolute "must" and even if you're not, you'll still enjoy having a little flick through and seeing all the different hairstyles. The things people do for their art, eh!!!!! Enjoy.

The Best Book on Brad!
19 May 1999
Of all the books on American actor Brad Pitt, this is THE book for movie fans! It includes fantastic pictures of his ever-changing styles, as well as great articles on him and a detailed chronology of his films. Even die-hards who think they know all there is to know about Brad Pitt will be surprised to learn even more about him in this fantastic book. Highly recommended.
