Mirror Mirror: Famous People and the Actors Who Portrayed Them

by Alex Trenoweth

Have you ever reached the end of a film and thought, “Wow. That actor really nailed it. How did they do that?” Think Julia Roberts and Erin Brockovich; Leonardo DiCaprio and Howard Hughes; Daniel Day Lewis and Abraham Lincoln – and possibly my absolute favourite, Taron Egerton and Elton John in "Rocketman". From "Mata Hari" with Greta Garbo (1931) Peter O'Toole as Lawrence of Arabia (1962) to "Lady Sings the Blues" (1972) about Billie Holiday starring Diana Ross to the Oscar-winning performance by Rami Malek in "Bohemian Rhapsody" (2018), the astrology reveals the secrets of the films' success. In this true labour of love, for which Alex Trenoweth sat through many, many hours of films with her kitty Mr Bubbles, the astrological links between a wide range of famous characters and the actors who portrayed them are revealed in all their glory. This book is a must for astrology lovers and film lover alike. As the legendary Julia Parker indicates in the foreword: "It deserves to be the beside book of the year".

Why should a particular actor be able to portray a real life person so perfectly? Is it because they are a good actor or because there is something within them that resonates with the person they’re playing?
In this book, Alex Trenoweth answers these questions. This is a book that demonstrates the magic of Astrology at work.
