This book offers the life story of the actor and musician who is
perhaps the most bankable star in Hollywood today. How did Will
Smith rise to the top of the Hollywood A-list? Find out with this
revealing look at the life of an extraordinarily talented and
appealing superstar. Will Smith: A Biography portrays Smith's West
Philadelphia upbringing, his arrival and ascent in Hollywood, and
his family life with wife and fellow actor, Jada Pinkett, and their
children. It covers Smith's successes in three mediums: music,
where his partnership with childhood friend DJ Jazzy Jeff
culminated in the first ever Grammy for rap; the wildly popular
television show, "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air;" and his movie
successes, from roles in blockbusters like Independence Day, Men in
Black, and I Am Legend, to critically acclaimed, award-winning
performances in Ali and The Pursuit of Happyness. The book also
details his increasing presence as a film producer.
