Author: Ian Halperin
A star-studded behind-the-scenes account of celebrity culture and the pursuit and perils of fame. — Ian Halperin is no stranger to undercover investigations. When he posed as a model in 2001 to expose the fashion industry, his resulting book, Shut Up and Smile, sent shock waves through the trade and became an international bestseller. — In Holl...  more », he gives us a unique and scandalous glimpse behind the scenes of the movie business. This time he poses as an aspiring actor and soon finds himself with an agent, a job offer (admittedly in a hardcore porn film) and ultimately a part in The Aviator, directed by Martin Scorcese. In the interim, he is surprised to uncover anti-Semitism in Hollywood; infiltrates the Church of Scientology whose celebrity stable includes Tom Cruise and John Travolta; and meets numerous A-listers including Brad Pitt, Barbra Streisand and Leonardo DiCaprio, who give him the inside track on what life in Hollywood is really like.

Hollywood Undercover is a rollicking, name-dropping, often hilarious insider’s chronicle by a man who accidentally became a movie-star.
