In addition, I referred to numerous magazine and newspaper articles for information on Tom Cruise and his involvement in Scientology. Among the most helpful were Claire Hoffman and Kim Christensen, ”At Inland Base, Scientologists Trained Top Gun” (Los Angeles Times, December 18, 2005); Neil Strauss, ”The Pa.s.sion of the Cruise” (Rolling Stone, September 2, 2004); James Verini, ”Missionary Man” (Salon.com, June 27, 2005); Sharon Waxman, ”Tom Cruise's Effusive 'Oprah' Appearance Raises Hollywood Eyebrows” (New York Times, June 2, 2005); and Alessandra Stanley, ”Talk Show Rarity: A True Believer's Candor” (New York Times, June 25, 2005). Insight into David Miscavige's views on promotion comes from interviews with Jeff Hawkins, Steve Hall, and Karen Pressley; for information about Scientology and the Internet, I found particularly helpful Wendy Grossman, ”alt.scientology.war” (Wired, December 1995) as well as Janelle Brown, ”A Web of Their Own” (Salon.com, July 15, 1998).

[>] ”He freaked out and was”: According to Headley, Cruise did more than ”freak out.” ”He said, 'I'm out of here,' and he and Dave had a huge argument” during which Miscavige, citing quotations from Keeping Scientology Working, tried to convince the actor to stay the course. But Cruise told Miscavige he needed a ”break.”

[>] the couple was on a new path: Ironically, though Cruise and Kidman apparently distanced themselves from Scientology after making Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut, Kubrick's daughter, Vivian, joined the Church of Scientology. According to Kubrick's widow, Christiane, Vivian had been set to compose the score for Eyes Wide Shut when she abruptly left for California when the film was in post-production. ”They had a huge fight,” Christiane Kubrick told The Guardian in August 2010. ”He wrote her a forty-page letter trying to win her back. He begged her endlessly to come home from California.” On the day of Kubrick's funeral, Christiane said Vivian arrived with a Scientologist handler, who stayed by her side. Vivian has since disconnected from her family. ”It's her new religion,” her mother told The Guardian. ”It had absolutely nothing to do with Tom Cruise, by the way. Absolutely not.” Jon Ranson, ”After Stanley Kubrick,” The Guardian, August 18, 2010.
