Product Description
Ian Halperin is no stranger to undercover investigations. He
posed as a model in 2001 to expose the fashion industry, his
resulting in the exposé Shut Up and Smile. In
Hollywood Undercover, he gives us a unique and scandalous
glimpse behind the scenes of the movie business. This time he poses
as an aspiring actor and soon finds himself with an agent, a job
offer (admittedly in a hard-core porn film) and ultimately a part
in The Aviator, directed by Martin Scorcese. In the interim,
he is surprised to uncover anti-Semitism in Hollywood; infiltrates
the Church of Scientology, whose celebrity stable includes Tom
Cruise and John Travolta; and meets numerous A-listers, including
Brad Pitt, Barbra Streisand, and Leonardo DiCaprio, who give him
the inside track on what life in Hollywood is really like.

Customer Reviews
Waste of money26 people found this review helpful.
I was expecting a great, juicy exposé of insider news
and gossip in this book and was sorely disappointed. Mr. Halperin's
writing style is weak, he never mentions names when disclosing
supposedly sordid secrets, and his facts are often inaccurate. In
one section, he mentions how Debbie Reynolds stole Eddie Fisher
away from Elizabeth Taylor, when quite the opposite is true. The
information that is in this book is basically what one can read in
any People magazine--and People has far better photos. The photos
in this book are amateurish and feature the author in his
ridiculous sequined coat and bow-tie. I hate to be mean, but this
is one book that you shouldn't waste your time on. I bought it
because of the two positive reviews--I was misinformed.
Hollywood Undercover: Revealing the Sordid Secrets of Tinseltownproduct
Aimless mishmashI bought this book hoping for an amusing or engaging nonfiction
narrative, but it's an aimless and tedious mishmash. The author,
whose writing style is competent rather than absorbing or witty,
careens inconclusively from one subject to the next in Hollywood
(ex. homophobia, Scientology, anti-Semitism), not getting anywhere
with any of them. His narrative relies primarily on rehashing media
reports, magazine articles, and common gossip. Most of the people
whom the author interviews or meets seem to be as low on the
credibility meter as they are on the Hollywood success ladder, and
much of his book is based on repeating unsubstantiated and/or
anonymous gossip about unidentified studio executives and unnamed
celebrities.

Captivating7 people found this review helpful.
I bought this book after hearing the author interviewed on a
morning radio show (The Jay Thomas Show). What intrigued me the
most was that the author said he started out to do a documentary on
being an aspiring actor in Hollywood and came to Scientology.
During the interview, the author claimed he was hiding out in the
mountains of Canada as a result of threats he'd received on the
phone and he's scared for his life.
Needless to say, I wanted to read all about the mysterious Scientologists.
I also was interested to see how everyone in Hollywood knows certain people are gay but that it's totally unknown to the general public. The reason I gave the book 4 stars was because he chooses not to out the actors...I wish he'd name drop.

Humorous account of Hollywood life3 people found this review helpful.
This book was written in a funny, conversational style. It poked
fun at the business of trying to make it in Hollywood, and revealed
a sordid underbelly that I already suspected was there. I really
liked the infiltration of the Scientology group, and the author's
humorous antics...especially his wardrobe choices. This is a quick,
fun read.
