Britney - Sean Smith

Britney tells the full, amazing story of the rollercoaster life of one of the world's most popular stars. Travel with best selling author Sean Smith across America as he paints a picture of the real Britney Spears - a little church-going Southern girl described by her tutor at Disney as 'the sweetest, most wholesome, most innocent person that you'd ever want to meet', who became a desperately unhappy victim of fame. Britney Spears was a child star on Broadway at ten, with Disney at eleven, a number one recording artist at seventeen and a multi millionairess before her eighteenth birthday. But that success counted for nothing as she faced the agony of a marriage break-up that left her battling for custody of her two sons. Her eventual breakdown was seen on television by millions around the world. Few could forget the sight of a distressed Britney strapped to an ambulance trolley on her way to a psychiatric unit. But, incredibly, it was not the last we heard of Britney and phoenix-like she recovered to produce a US number one single and album, and headline a sell out world tour in 2009. Using a series of exclusive interviews Sean Smith reveals a complex yet genuinely nice young woman who at last seems to be winning.
