Keanu Reeves

In the late-1990s, aged in his early 30s, Keanu Reeves is still a teen idol but also has a cult status with artists, feminists and gays. In this updated edition, the author looks at Reeves's career as an actor with such credits as "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure", "My Own Private Idaho", "Dangerous Liasons", "Dracula", "Little Buddha", "Chain Reaction" and "Speed". The book details his background - born in Beirut, the son of a Hawaiian father, reared in Toronto, now an LA boy - as well as his rise from the new generation of Hollywood leading boys. His relationship with friends and co-stars, including his close friendship with the late River Phoenix are featured.
