Bruce Willis
Bruce Willis was born Walter Bruce Willison on the 19th of March,
1955 in Idar-Oberstein, a German town near the border with Luxembourg. His
dad, David, being a military man, was stationed there and his wife, Marlene,
was from Kassel (they'd be divorced in 1971). On his discharge in 1957, David
took his family back to Carney's Point, New Jersey, finding employment as
a welder and a factory worker.

Tormented by a debilitating stutter, he discovered that he lost his impediment
when onstage. He was also a talented wrestler - that scar on his shoulder
now is actually the result of a serious sprain. Though a good student, he
was suspended for three months in his senior year for taking part in what
he later described as "the annual riot".
We all now know him as the star of the Die Hard movies, Moonlighting, and
Sixth Sense. What a true star Bruce Willis is ...

Bruce
Willis Book: The Unauthorised Biography
From his first taste of success in his TV role in 'Moonlighting', the book
traces his career through the much publicised period of drug and alcohol abuse,
and a number of box-office flops in the early 1990's which so often spell
the end of a film career. Pulp Fiction is treated as the resurrection of his
film career, aquiring cult status and re-emerging as a top player who now
consistently attracts rave reviews and huge audiences. The book also deals
with his off screen high-profile marriage to Demi Moore, looking at Bruce
the filmstar and Bruce the family man. The author has spoken to their friends
and relatives and people they have worked with to attempt to reveal the real
Bruce Willis.
