Summary:

From Versace exhibitionist stealing Hugh Grant's spotlight at the premiere of Four Weddings and a Funeral in 'that dress', to public single mum forced to carry out DNA tests by the baby's millionaire father, Elizabeth Hurley is rarely out of the public eye and has fast become one of the most glamorous, photographed women in the world. Drop-dead gorgeous and with numerous celebrity chums including Elton John and Pamela Anderson, Liz Hurley has successfully made the transition from middle-class Basingstoke to the top of the Hollywood showbiz elite through a combination of single-minded determination and finely tuned skills as a self-publicist.

The book charts her early days in Hampshire, her rebellious teenage years as a spiky-haired punk, her fledgling career as an actress and the complex 13-year relationship with heartthrob Hugh Grant. It tells how she emerged from the public humiliation of Grant's arrest with a Hollywood prostitute to become an international star in her own right. It also examines her acrimonious paternity battle with Hollywood playboy Steve Bing and her new role as working single mother. Liz Hurley: Uncovered is a highly-readable, fascinating insight into one of the world's most glamorous stars. This first biography of Liz Hurley to be published features many exclusive, revelatory interviews with friends, ex-lovers, industry insiders, in both the UK and Los Angeles, and reveals the fascinating truth behind the headlines.
