Tom Cruise
In 1976, if you had told
14 year old Franciscan seminary student Thomas Cruise
Mapother IV that one day in the not too distant
future he would be considered one of the top 100
movie stars of all time, he would have probably
grinned and told you that his ambition was to become
a priest. Nonetheless, this sensitive, deeply religious
youngster who was born in 1962 in Syracuse, New
York, was destined to become Tom Cruise, one of
the highest paid and most sought after actors in
screen history. The only son (among four children)
of nomadic parents young Tom spent his boyhood eternally
on the move and by the time he was 14 he had attended
15 different schools in the US and Canada. He finally
settled in Glen Ridge, New Jersey, with his mother
and her new husband. While in high school, he developed
an interest in acting and abandoned his plans of
becoming a priest, dropped out of school, and at
age 18 headed for New York and a possible acting
career. The next 15 years of his life are the stuff
of legends. He made his film debut with a small
part in Endless Love (1981) and from the outset
exhibited an undeniable box office appeal to both
male and female audiences.
Though below average height and not particularly
handsome in the traditional sense, within 5 years
Tom Cruise was starring in some of the top grossing
films of the 1980s including Top Gun (1986); The
Color of Money (1986), Rain Man (1988) and Born
on the Fourth of July (1989). By the 1990s he was
one of the highest paid actors in the world earning
an average 15 million dollars a picture in such
blockbuster hits as _Interview with the Vampire:
The Vampire Chronicles (1994)_ , Mission: Impossible
(1996) and Jerry Maguire (1996) for which he received
an Academy Award Nomination for best actor. In 1990
he renounced his devout Catholic beliefs and embraced
The Church Of Scientology claiming that Scientology
teachings had cured him of the dyslexia that had
plagued him all of his life. A kind and thoughful
man well known for his compassion and generosity,
Tom Cruise is one of the best liked members of the
movie community. He was married to actress Nicole
Kidman until 2001. Thomas Cruise Mapother IV has
indeed come a long way from the lonely wanderings
of his youth.
