We follow celebrities on Twitter and Facebook, watch them on
television and read about them in supermarket checkout lines. With
increasingly blurred lines between private and public life, our
relationship with celebrities has never been so immediate, and
their personal trials are news headlines and water cooler talk.
Offering the first extensive look at celebrity health sagas, this
book examines the ways in which their stories become our stories,
influencing public perception and framing dialog about wellness,
disease and death. These private-yet-public narratives drive
fund-raising, reduce stigma and influence policy. Celebrities like
Mary Tyler Moore, Robin Roberts, Michael J. Fox and Christopher
Reeve - as well as 200 others included in the study - have left a
lasting legacy of supporting health-related causes by turning their
personal health struggles into public health narratives.
