An “evocative and entertaining” biography of the nineteenth century circus performer who became a global phenomenon (Neil Harris, author of Humbug). When P. T. Barnum met twenty-five-inch-tall Charles Stratton at a Bridgeport, Connecticut hotel in 1843, one of the most important partnerships in entertainment history was born. With Barnum’s promotional skills and the miniature Stratton’s comedic talents, they charmed a Who’s Who of the nineteenth century, from Queen Victoria to Charles Dickens to Abraham Lincoln. Adored worldwide as “General Tom Thumb,” Stratton played to sold-out shows for almost forty years. From his days as a precocious child star to his tragic early death, Becoming Tom Thumb tells the full story of this iconic figure for the first time. It details his triumphs on the New York stage, his epic celebrity wedding, and his around-the-world tour, drawing on newly available primary sources and interviews. From the mansions of Paris to the deserts of Australia, Stratton’s unique brand of Yankee comedy not only earned him the accolades of millions of fans, it helped move little people out of the side show and into the limelight.

Ever wondered how Marshall Bruce Mathers III and Curtis James Jackson III rose to stardom? No one expected a skinny and poor young boy from the projects of Detroit to one day become one of the highest-selling rap artists of all time, but Marshall Mathers, aka Eminem, never lost sight of his dream. Despite an unbelievable amount of odds stacked against him, the aspiring rap artist used his pain and turmoil to pour anger, hurt, and frustration into his rap lyrics. Using his own turbulent life as a blueprint, Eminem rose through the rap charts on the waves of critics who began praising his skilled lyricism and sarcastic sense of humor. Looking at 50 Cent’s career, one would hardly expect that the rapper’s impressive rise to stardom could have been cut short by an early life of crime and violence. As a musician, an actor, and a businessman, 50 Cent has consistently proven his instincts for choosing successful projects in which to involve himself. However, 50 Cent was actually born into an environment full of poverty and bloodshed and had to fight his way out of a deadly cycle of incarceration and physical confrontation before he truly realized his full potential.

In contemporary society, the cult of celebrity is inescapable. Anyone can be turned into a celebrity, and anything can be made into a celebrity event. Celebrity has become a part of everyday life, a common reference point. But how have people like Elvis Presley, John Lennon, Bill Clinton or Princess Diana impressed themselves so powerfully on the public mind? Do they have unique qualities, or have their images been constructed by the media? And what of the dark side of celebrity – why is the hunger to be in the public eye so great that people are prepared to go to any lengths to achieve it, as numerous mass murderers and serial killers have done. Chris Rojek brings together celebrated figures from the arts, sports, politics and other public spheres, from O.J. Simpson and Marilyn Monroe to Hitler and David Bowie, and touches on many movements and fads, including punk, rock-and-roll and fashion. Rojek analyzes the difference between ascribed celebrity, which derives from bloodline, and achieved celebrity, which follows on from personal achievement - the difference between Princess Margaret and, say, Woody Allen. He also shows how there is no parallel in history to today's ubiquitous "living" form of celebrity, powered by newspapers, PR departments, magazines and electronic mass media.
