The Article 'In March 1995, 19-year-old Leonardo DiCaprio had already astonished talent watchers as the battered survivor in This Boy's Life. and had won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nominationg for his performance as the mentally challenged, saintly/monstrous brother in What's Eating Gilbert Grape. DiCaprio, a born actor, was so electric and full of promise on screen that he evoked comparisons to James Dean. But no one could have forseen what happened next, least of all the young Leonardo himself. William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet transformed him into a full-on heartthrob, and then Titanic turned a blinding spotlight on him. Reeling from the unreasonable level of celebrity, DiCaprio fought to shift focus back to acting, and now stands ready to create a new and different momentum with Martin Scorsese's Gangs of New York.'
