Leonardo DiCaprio

By Cherese Cartlidge

Leonardo DiCaprio's career started at the age of four on the set of several TV commercials, but he has since evolved into a mature actor taking on challenging roles and playing characters as diverse as Romeo, J. Edger Hoover, and Jay Gatsby. DiCaprio is also an active environmentalist, sitting on the boards of the World Wildlife Fund and the National Resources Defense Council. This compelling volume provides a balanced biography of Leonardo DiCaprio. Chapters include childhood stardom, playing the troubled teen, going from teen heartthrob to serious actor, and his off-screen philanthropy and activism.
