During the September 10th episode of Movie Addict HQ, Kimberly Potts, author of George Clooney: The Last Great Movie Star, talks about her revealing biography of the Oscar-winning actor. Before the end of 2013, Clooney will be appearing in two upcoming films already receiving Oscar buzz – Gravity and The Monuments Men – so another look at his impressive career as an actor and director seems quite timely. A discussion of Clooney’s latest projects will follow Potts’ interview.

 Potts, an entertainment/pop culture writer, has written several books, including Everything I Need To Know I Learned from a Chick Flick. She’s also contributed such outlets as TV Guide, US Weekly, Inside TV, E! Online, and Daily Variety.  

In her well-researched biography of Clooney, Potts presents fascinating details and behind-the-scenes information about the man she calls “The Last Great Movie Star.” After taking readers back to Clooney’s early years, Potts then explains how this small-town boy used his good looks, charm and personal ethics on his journey to becoming a serious actor, writer, producer, director and humanitarian. She also explores Clooney’s outspoken nature, his concern for others, and his involvement in important causes.   

Clooney’s acting career includes experience in over 70 films and TV series. He’s earned Academy Award nominations for The Descendants, Michael Clayton, Up in the Air, Syriana, The Ides of March, and Good Night, and Good Luck.  He won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for Syriana and shares a Best Picture Oscar as a producer of Argo. Clooney’s television credits are also impressive, as indicated by roles in such series as ER, Sisters, and Roseanne. But is he truly “ the last great movie star”? Listen in to find out if Potts proves her case.
