Unfinished Business
by John Houseman
The Life and Death of Peter Sellers
by Roger Lewis
Roger Lewis, in his no-holds-barred biography, exposes a Peter Sellers the world little knows. Recognized as the greatest British comic since Charlie Chaplin, Sellers was the grand master of fifty-five films - from Dr. Strangelove, to Being There and the Pink Panther hits. But shadowing his phenomenal career was a history of increasingly bizarre behavior involving psychotic violence, compulsive promiscuity, drug abuse and humiliating self-destructive obsessions with people including Princess Margaret, Sophia Loren, Liza Minnelli and each of his four wives (Ann Hayes, Britt Ekland, Miranda Quarry and Lynne Frederick). He alternately showered his wives and children with gifts and then threatened to kill them. Sellers' fluidity as an actor made for a terrifying madness that grew like a slow metastasizing cancer throughout his adult life. The story of Peter Sellers concludes with his premature death at the age of 54, "sick at heart and alone in those sunless hotel rooms", so recoiled from intimacy that no one really knew him anymore.

Naked Instinct
by Frank Sanello
Who is Sharon Stone? We know her face, her voice, and her movies, but what about the woman behind the image? Through interviews with family members, friends, and colleagues, this unauthorized and often incendiary biography reveals a woman little known to the public. After struggling for years to achieve a mediocre success, Stone finally reached the top in the film Basic Instinct. But even with that accomplishment behind her, she was not taken seriously. Three years later, a Golden Globe award and an Oscar nomination for her work in Casino proved she was a powerhouse in the film industry. Naked Instinct uncovers the experiences that made Sharon Stone the dynamic, intriguing woman she is today. Naked Instinct explores Stone's colorful love life, including a series of brief, often volatile romantic liaisons she had after emerging from several years of sexual seclusion following her 1987 divorce from producer Michael Greenburg. Her lovers include country singer Dwight Yoakum; Chris Peters, son of Jon Peters and Leslie Ann Warren; producer Bill MacDonald; and Bob Wagner, a twentysomething production assistant. Stone pursues a new and brighter stardom the same way she pursues male companionship, with equal amounts of verve and determination. Naked Instinct exposes the foibles, excesses, ambitions, and fears of this driven and remarkable woman.
Oprah Winfrey Speaks

"People have told me that their lives have changed because of me. I take away from this the sense that I'm on the right track."
