  • Church of Scientology Statement Andrew Morton’S Unauthorized Biography of Tom Cruise
    CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY INTERNATIONAL 14 January 2008 For further information contact: Karin Pouw, Public Affairs Director (323) 960-3500 CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY STATEMENT ANDREW MORTON’S UNAUTHORIZED BIOGRAPHY OF TOM CRUISE For the last two years, the Church of Scientology requested to be interviewed or be presented with any allegations so we could respond. Morton refused despite our insistence in offering our cooperation. At no time did he request interviews nor did he attempt to get any information from us. Accuracy and truth were not on Morton’s agenda. While making all sorts of bizarre and false allegations about Mr. Miscavige, the Church’s ecclesiastical leader, Morton at no time ever attempted to contact, speak to or interview him. As a result his book is a bigoted, defamatory assault replete with lies. Morton comes from a tabloid background and his book reads like British tabloid journalism at its worst. British publishers rejected the book because of Morton’s inability to prove the truth of his allegations, something the laws of the UK require and of which Morton is well aware. Notwithstanding his US publisher’s knowledge that his British publishing house refused publication of Morton’s diatribe due to his inability to substantiate his claims, they still steadfastly refused to present any of the allegations for either refutations or response. Furthermore, scandalous falsehoods attributed to Morton appeared in the UK press 2 months ago. The Church demanded he correct these falsehoods which he and his publisher refused to do. However, the newspaper that published Morton’s lies did take responsibility—printing a full retraction when presented with the facts by the Church.

  • 'Daniel's Daughter'
    ‘DANIEL’S DAUGHTER’ CAST BIOS LAURA LEIGHTON (Catherine) – Versatile actress Laura Leighton is best known as the scheming Sydney Andrews on the hit Fox drama “Melrose Place,” a role which earned her a Golden Globe nomination and an US Magazine Entertainer of The Year Award. Born in Iowa City, Iowa, to a mid-western family, Leighton found a passion early on for the arts. Shortly after graduating from West High (ironically located on Melrose Avenue), she left Iowa to tour the country with the song and dance troupe “Young Americans.” Leighton eventually moved on to study acting, and soon after, began landing television commercials and was cast in a guest spot on Aaron Spelling’s “Melrose Place,” which soon turned into a permanent gig. As viewers gripped to their love/hate relationship with Sydney, the success of this nighttime drama became enormous. She played the character for the better part of four years, when her character was killed off in May 1997. She later joined the cast of Spelling’s “Beverly Hills, 90210” for several episodes, appearing in a role Spelling created specifically for her. In 2003 she made her return to series television in Jerry Bruckheimer’s “Skin” on FOX and followed it up when she appeared opposite Tim Daly on the ABC private detective series “Eyes.” Most recently, Leighton has made guest star appearances on such series as “CSI: Miami,” “Boston Legal,” “Shark,” “Damages,” and “Law and Order SVU.” In August of 2007, she appeared in the Lifetime Television movie “Love Notes.” She also recently wrapped production on “The Burrowers”, a new horror/thriller from Sony/LionsGate.

  • Relationships and Personal Life
    On August 22, 2006, Paramount Pictures announced it was ending its 14-year relationship with Cruise. In the Wall Street Journal, chairman of Viacom (Paramount's parent company) Sumner Redstone cited the economic damage to Cruise's value as an actor and producer from his controversial public behavior and views.[40][41] Cruise/Wagner Productions responded that Paramount's announcement was a face-saving move after the production company had successfully sought alternative financing from private equity firms.[42] Industry analysts such as Edward Jay Epstein commented that the real reason for the split was most likely Paramount's discontent over Cruise/Wagner's exceptionally large share of DVD sales from the Mission: Impossible franchise.[43][44] Management of United Artists In November 2006, Cruise and Paula Wagner announced that they had taken over United Artists film studio.[37] Cruise acts as a producer and star in films for United Artists, while Wagner serves as UA's chief executive. Production began in 2007 of Valkyrie, a thriller based on the July 20, 1944 assassination attempt against Adolf Hitler. The film was acquired in March 2007 by United Artists. On March 21, 2007 Cruise signed on to play Claus von Stauffenberg, the protagonist. This project marks the second production to be greenlighted since Cruise and Wagner took control of United Artists. The first was its inaugural film, Lions for Lambs, directed by Robert Redford and starring Redford, Meryl Streep and Cruise. Lambs was released on November 9, 2007,[45] opening to unimpressive box office revenue and critical reception. In August 2008, Wagner stepped down from her position at United Artists; she retains her stake in UA, which combined with Cruise's share amounts to 30 percent of the studio.[46] Relationships and personal life Cruise has been married three times and has three children (two adopted and one biological).
