In 1997, Titanic wasn't just a movie-it was a cultural tsunami. For one young woman, stepping into the theater that day wasn't just about watching a film; it was about stepping into a world that would help define the rest of her life.

Caught in the simultaneous tidal waves of Leomania and the rise of the internet, she found herself diving deep into the world of online fan communities, unknowingly embarking on a digital journey that would lead to an unbelievable encounter-one that, decades later, she still questions, one that set her on the path that would ultimately lead to a lifelong career.

At the heart of this memoir is a story of forging a new path both digitally and personally, in an era when technology was still untamed and online fandoms were just beginning to materialize. Was she really exchanging messages with the most famous actor on the planet at the height of his stardom? Or was she simply caught in one of the earliest cases of online deception? 

When Leo Logged On is a nostalgic, deeply personal, and often unbelievable account of pop culture, the early internet, and the way a single movie, a single moment, can alter the course of a life forever.
