(4) 4-6 Overcoming Adversity series. Illustrated with black-and-white publicity photos, these show business biographies cover their subjects' personal lives and professional careers, and demonstrate how each person has prevailed over an obstacle. Though the books' tone is often adulatory, they do an adequate job discussing Carey's depression, Goldberg's youthful poverty and drug abuse, and Cruise's dyslexia. Time lines are included. Bib., ind.
