...first he was vibrant local color, one of the beautiful faces, a hunk for hire. Fast-forward through an early Cruise movie, and you will find him in the corner of the frame, a winsome thing in love with his body, exuding the jock wholesomeness of a baby Christopher Reeve. Superboy. Dozens of such sleek stud puppies pass through Hollywood every year, and in Endless Love (1981) and The Outsiders (1982), Cruise had the chance to scope out his competition: Matt Dillon, Rob Lowe, Ralph Macchio, James Spader, Patrick Swayze, Emilio Estevez, C.

Now when a hunk of junk that cost twice the price of my first house needs new front shocks at only 120,000 miles, my feeling is bitter resentment. Americans hate their cars...
...next movie, Revenge, he plays an unlikable cuckolder. Last week he began scouting locations for Dances with Wolves, a drama about the Sioux nation, in which he will star and make his debut as a director. Still, it makes him itch that his recent roles have earned him a Hunk-of-the-Month label. "I have the same problem with stardom that I have with royalty," he says.
