Summary: An excellent photo-biography!
Review: Ms Bystedt has a great feel for bringing out the personality of her subjects with great flair and originality. For example, her profile of KEANU REEVES is honest and down to earth and allows his wonderful uniqueness (there is only One, 'the One') to shine thru. I like the way she gets to know her 'subjects' both with the camera and in person as they reveal their future hopes and fears... Nowadays these people really ARE famous in their own right and Ms Bystedt, I feel, has played a part from the outset in helping them evolve to the Superstars they are today! A great read! A++

Summary: informative and entertaining
Review: This unique and fascinating book by Bystedt, who was so perceptive to interview these actors at the start of their careers, makes for terrific reading. Keanu Reeves , who at 23 gives the impression of being a bundle of unsettled energy, with intelligence and a marvelous sense of humor...Brad Pitt, hilarious and quite down to earth at 24, the same age as a profound and thoughtful Johnny Depp. The exquisitely beautiful Alfre Woodard, so wise at 33, a perplexing Robert Downey Jr. at 22. There's a total of 24 interviews, and the photographs are fabulous. The ones of Reeves, Depp, and Jason Priestly are simply awesome ! This book is a glimpse into what makes some actors break forth and get known, while so many others fail. A lot of these future stars seem to have hard work (and the love of it) in common, as well as quick minds and curiosity.
