Actors Biography
Posted on | December 23, 2008 | No Comments
For most ordinary people, a biography would not be nearly as interesting as the day to day activities of their lives. They may have fun going to the movies, playing amateur baseball with friends, taking that yearly summer vacation, or whatever, but it does not necessarily make for interesting reading. An actors biography, however, is a different kind of thing altogether. Actors biographies ? even those of minor or moderately successful actors ? make for a fascinating read.
Of course, one of the most interesting things about reading an actors bio is finding out all about all of the other actors he or she worked with. Anyone who has ever played six degrees of Kevin Bacon knows that practically anyone and everyone in Hollywood is connected to everyone else. Understanding the nuances of these connections and the relationships behind them is an interesting reward for anyone who has ever studied the biographies of actors. Sometimes you find out that someone totally unexpected was instrumental in the career of a favorite actor. Other times, you can discover that actors famous for playing off of each other actually could barely be in the same room together without fighting.
Although reading all of the Hollywood gossip in an actors biography is a lot of fun, for me the very best part is to see the extent of the opulence that surrounded an actor in his elite world. Most actors are fairly free with their money, and it can be fascinating to daydream about the things that money buys. Private jets to fly to private islands, mansions up in the Hollywood hills, extravagant parties beyond anything that most of us ever get the chance to attend ? you name it and it is there in the actors biography.
And of course, who can forget about the scandals that plague Hollywood decade after decade, year after year. All of us know about some of the recent scandals plaguing Brittney Spears, Tom Cruise, and other strange and crazy actors, but most of us forget about all of the scandals of yesteryear. Blacklists, murder mysteries, drug addictions and overdoses, sensational breakups of fairytale romances ? it is all there if you go out and look for it. And many of these actors biographies are written by competent or even talented writers. All in all, it makes for some good reading ? particularly during the long and idle hours of summer that so many of us are looking forward to.
