Beautifully written and unexpectedly moving . . . . Baldwin writes with great knowledge about old films, the art of acting, what he has learned from other actors, and about the differences among television, film and theater. . . . He's a highly literate and fluent writer.\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e--\u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of the most accomplished and outspoken actors today chronicles the highs and lows of his life in this beautifully written, candid memoir.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOver the past three decades, Alec Baldwin has established himself as one of Hollywood's most gifted, hilarious, and controversial leading men.

In this honest, affecting memoir, he introduces us to the Long Island child who felt burdened by his family's financial strains and his parents' unhappy marriage; the Washington, DC, college student gearing up for a career in politics; the self-named \"Love Taxi\" who helped friends solve their romantic problems while neglecting his own; the young soap actor learning from giants of the theatre; the addict drawn to drugs and alcohol who struggles with sobriety; the husband and father who acknowledges his failings and battles to overcome them; and the consummate professional for whom the work is everything. Throughout \u003cem\u003eNevertheless\u003c\/em\u003e, one constant emerges: the fearlessness that defines and drives Baldwin's life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTold with his signature candor, astute observational savvy, and devastating wit, \u003cem\u003eNevertheless\u003c\/em\u003e reveals an Alec Baldwin we have never fully seen before.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alec Baldwin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harper Paperbacks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/31\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.20w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780062409713\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBaldwin, Alec:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlec Baldwin is a multiple Emmy, Golden Globe, and Screen Actors Guild Award-winning actor, producer, comedian, and philanthropist.
