Ever wondered how Morgan Freeman and Denzel Washington rose to stardom? Morgan Freeman, like many early African American actors, was born into a time of racial segregation and prejudice. Born in Memphis, Tennessee on June 1, 1937, Freeman experienced a rather turbulent childhood. His parents moved to Chicago when Freeman was still a child, hoping to find better work away from the oppressive hand of the racially-explosive South. As his father descended into alcoholism, Freeman’s parents separated and Freeman found himself moving frequently, splitting time between living with his grandparents in Mississippi and moving from town to town with his mother. Born into humble beginnings, Denzel Washington would become synonymous with powerful acting and creative expression throughout his career. From his early beginnings on the stage and in television, Washington would rise to be one of the most decorated actors of his era, earning numerous Oscar nominations and accolades. Washington courageously forged ahead to break down further racial barriers for a new generation of actors and served to inspire the next wave of African American artists.

Ever wondered how Samuel Jackson rose to stardom? Born in Washington, D.C. on December 21, 1948, Samuel L. Jackson overcame racial segregation, an absent father, and a speech impediment to become one of Hollywood's top-grossing actors. In fact, his speech impediment led to his discovering his acting ability. He was active in the civil rights movement, and he retains that sensibility. In danger at various times in his youth of slipping into a world of violence or drug abuse, he overcame anger and addiction to ascend as an incredibly prolific and successful actor, and an outright icon in action movies, as well as a loving husband and father.

The New York Times bestselling biographer provides “the dish on Motown’s most famous songstress” in this newly updated edition (The Dallas Morning News). Drawn from hundreds of interviews conducted over four decades, Diana Ross paints an unforgettable picture of an extraordinary and often controversial legend—a pop music goddess, acclaimed actress, loving mother, Civil Rights trailblazer, and consummate entertainer. Beautiful and fascinating, she is her own invention—the definition of a superstar. First-time revelations abound, from the tough decisions she made while having Berry Gordy’s baby and the real reasons behind the break-up of the Supremes to her triumphant recovery after a surprising DUI arrest and her gala appearance at the Kennedy Center Honors. Bestselling biographer J. Randy Taraborrelli boldly explores Diana Ross’s troubled relationships and the heartbreak she feels compelled to hide, bringing into focus a complex personality too often obscured by the bright lights of fame. Rich with detail and personal anecdotes, and fully up-to-date, Diana Ross is both definitive and delightful—the ultimate biography that Miss Ross so richly deserves. “A complete, up-to-date history of the star.” —Associated Press “Truly a definitive biography . . . boasts epic research, including extensive interviews with Ross and virtually all the major people in her life.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Riveting.” —The Washington Post
