The first biography of the hot young star from Fox TV's Party of Five,
as well as the movies Scream (1, 2, and 3), Three to Tango, and Wild
Things. Although always friendly to fans and the press, Neve Campbell
nevertheless exudes an enigmatic aura and makes it clear she'd much
prefer to talk about anyone but herself. This biography tells the story
of the woman behind the actress and describes how the Guelph native went
from being one of the National Ballet School of Canada's best young
ballerinas to one of Hollywood's most popular stars.Neve Campbell
recounts in detail -- through interviews with her associates and Neve's
own words -- the circumstances that drove her to abruptly quit dance and
turn her energies to acting. It goes on to explore the fierce ambition
that drove her forward along each step of her near-meteoric rise, from
her breakthrough part in the Canadian series Catwalk, to the move to
Hollywood where she became part of the cast of the hit TVseries Party of
Five, and beyond to her roles in films such as The Craft, Scream, and
Wild Things. Equal attention is paid to Campbell's private life,
including her self-professed insecurities, her difficulty adjusting to
fame, and her short-lived marriage to Canadian actor Jeff Colt, a
relationship that was certainly a victim of Neve's success. But as
Kathleen Tracy discovers, behind all these apparent weaknesses lies a
steely will; says her ex-husband, "Neve's able to do everything, so she
wants to do it all." For fans and non-fans alike, Neve Campbell offers a
colorful portrait of the woman who in fact just might "do it all," and
in the process become the next great star of her generation.
