Jeff Hudson: George Clooney: A Biography. London: Virgin, 2004

George Clooney is a rare thing in Hollywood: a hard-working actor, respected and adored by fellow professionals and the public alike. His laid-back style and easy-going personality have led to his being dubbed "the new Cary Grant". Far from his years as an obscure, jobbing actor during his film career he has worked with such luminaries as Brad Pitt, the Coen Brothers, Mark Wahlberg, Julia Roberts, Steven Soderberg and Nicole Kidman. This biography aims to reveal the full story behind George Clooney. It details his upbringing in a showbiz family (his father, Nick Clooney, was a local TV and radio personality, his aunt was singing star Rosemary Clooney), his years of work on unsuccessful pilots for TV shows and his rise to fame as Dr Doug Ross in "ER". He became one of the first major cast members to leave the show, launching his film career somewhat shakily with "The Peacemaker" and the critically-panned "Batman & Robin", he reasserted his Hollywood credentials with "Out of Sight", "Three Kings" and "O Brother, Where Art Thou?", and made his directorial debut with "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind". > 300 p., [8] p. of plates

Karine Cohen-Dicker: George Clooney: gentleman-acteur. Paris: Nouveau Monde, 2008

Qualifié à deux reprises (1997, 2006) par le magazine People du titre d’ «homme en vie le plus sexy» de la planète, présent chaque année sur les écrans aussi bien dans de grosses productions hollywoodiennes que dans des films indépendants, très engagé sur plusieurs dossiers humanitaires comme le Darfour, George Clooney en séduit beaucoup et en agace quelques-uns par son apparente perfection. Aux États-Unis, on attend surtout d’une grande star qu’elle projette une image glamour et affiche avec circonspection ses opinions. George Clooney n’hésite pas à dépasser ces standards. Il a été élevé ainsi par son père, journaliste engagé. Dans sa famille, on dit haut et fort ce qu’on pense. Et on se bat pour ses idées, tout en gardant son intégrité. Des hommes bien, on en dénombre quelques-uns sur cette planète, mais George Clooney est un phénomène unique, omniprésent, surmédiatisé, productif, égal à lui-même, qu’il s’adresse à la chancelière allemande Angela Merkel ou qu’il signe des autographes à ses admirateurs. Drôle, charmeur, généreux, plus rien ne semble lui résister. Inconnu avant l’âge de 33 ans, il ne lui a fallu que quelques années, après son passage dans la série télévisée Urgences pour entrer dans la légende et devenir l’Américain le plus estimé au monde. Acteur oscarisé, producteur, réalisateur, il est aussi un des célibataires les plus endurcis et les plus recherchés de la planète, qui enchaîne les aventures et assume son statut de play-boy. L’une des ses plus longues liaisons a été consacrée à une Française… Anecdotes, inédites, témoignages de proches, secrets de tournages… un récit passionnant sur la vie, l’œuvre cinématographique et l’engagement politique du célèbre acteur américain. > 277 p. : [16] p. de pl.

Shana Cushman: George Clooney: An Illustrated Biography. London: Carlton, 2008

From baseball wannabe in Kentucky to one of Hollywood's most highly rated leading men, George Clooney's story is that of a late bloomer. After years as a struggling TV actor, he rose slowly to public attention with small, but potent, roles in TV shows like The Facts of Life and Roseanne, before landing the breakthrough role of Dr Doug Ross on the hit TV medical drama, ER. His roles in Hollywood films went hand in hand with ER's incredible success, as Clooney branched out and started working with respected film directors, such as Steven Soderbergh and the Coen Brothers. After leaving ER in 1999, he has starred in a run of box office hits, including the Ocean's Eleven remake and its two subsequent sequels, while also directing two acclaimed films (a third is presently in production) and producing a run of features for TV and cinema. Famed for his mysterious private life, unshakeable bachelorhood (the result of a failed marriage to actress Talia Balsam before he made it big) and fondness for partying, Clooney has carved out a unique place in Hollywood. He is simultaneously respected for his talents as an actor, producer, writer and director and worshipped as a sex symbol. * Shana Cushman is a journalist who has written for a number of magazines and newspapers dealing mainly with television and film features and celebrity interviews. > 160 p. : ill.

Joni Hirsch Blackman: George Clooney: A Biography. Santa Barbara: Greenwood Press, 2010

This insightful biography of George Clooney looks at his work on-screen, his off-screen activities as a political activist, and the many things that make him stand out from the Hollywood crowd. He is not your run of the mill "Sexiest Man Alive," despite winning that designation from People magazine in 2006. Actor/activist George Clooney is one of the most respected celebrities of our time, both for his interest in and work for the larger world, and for his talents in acting, directing, and writing topical, relevant motion pictures. George Clooney: A Biography will help students understand that having achieved the clout accorded a Hollywood star, one can use it to fight injustice and create a better world. The biography covers Clooney’s life from childhood through adulthood. It looks at the influence of his famous aunt, Rosemary Clooney, and his television-broadcaster father. It reveals his dream of becoming a professional baseball player and his failed tryout with the Cincinnati Reds in 1977. To create her portrait, author Joni Hirsch Blackman called on sources as diverse as childhood friends, coworkers, and a UN official who traveled with Clooney on his missions as a UN Messenger of Peace. What comes across is a picture of a warm, caring, witty, and intelligent man whose priorities are his craft, his friends and family, and the world around him. > xxv, 159 p. : ill., photographs

Kimberly Potts: George Clooney: The Last Great Movie Star. Montclair: Applause Theatre & Cinema Books, 2011

He's famous for twice being People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive, for his penchant for practical jokes and his vow never to remarry, as well as for his Oscar-winning and Emmy-nominated acting career. But George Clooney's reputation as a celebrity belies his essential seriousness, as a businessman, a humanitarian, and, of course, in his ascendancy to the Hollywood A-list. In this updated biography of one of Hollywood's most colorful leading men, pop culture expert Kimberly Potts traces Clooney's life from small-town boy to big-screen idol. Clooney slowly and deliberately built a résumé that took him from TV stardom on ER to a winning film career as a serious actor, writer, producer and director. Along the way Potts fills us in on Clooney's early attempts to break into film (including his Batman flop), his many well-publicized romances, his political and humanitarian efforts, plus a major fight with director David O. Russell on the set of Three Kings. Potts also recounts how Clooney has gained success and acclaim with his shrewd strategy of alternating blockbuster movie roles, such as the Ocean's franchise, with less lucrative “passion” projects – such as Syriana and Good Night, and Good Luck – that reflect his personal ethics. He won an Academy Award for the former and rave reviews for the latter, and has continued to earn accolades and Oscar nominations for smart dramas such as Michael Clayton and Up in the Air. Including fresh interviews, essential Clooney photographs, a filmography, a timeline, and a list of his favorite 100 films, this is the book no Clooney fan will want to be without. > xii, 290 p., [16] p. of plates : ill.
