Personal name
Cruise, Tom, 1962-
Scope and content
Letter, 29/9/2014. TS. Ruth is almost 74 so she doesn’t think she stands a chance with Reacher.
She likes Tom Cruise and believes the better half of Dustin Hoffman’s ‘Rain man’ Academy Award belongs to Mr Cruise. “But - Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher? Never! … Small, smooth hands are not fists like dinner plates … What two goons or belligerent truckers or inebriated soldiers are going to be stared down and cowed by Tom Cruise? Please. I sincerely hope you got a HUGE amount of money for the rights. If so, then okay.”
