Let's Face It: 90 Years of Living, Loving, and Learning

He was one of the brightest stars in Hollywood, a hard-charging actor whose intensity on the screen was mirrored in his personal life. In Let's Fact It, Douglas contemplates what life is all about, writing about current events and looking back at his childhood and his storied, glamorous, and colorful life and career in Hollywood. He writes frankly for the first time about the tragic death of his son Eric from a drug overdose and tells what it was like to recover from several near-death episodes, including a helicopter crash, a stroke, and a cardiac event. He also offers strong opinions on everything from racism and Hurricane Katrina to the war in Iraq and the situation in Israel.

A must-read for every fan, this engrossing memoir provides an indelible self-portrait of a great star while sharing the wit and wisdom Kirk Douglas accumulated over a lifetime.
