Non-Fiction Memoir
If it can happen in show business, it’s happened to Jon
Cryer. Now he’s opening up for the first time and sharing
his behind-the-scenes stories in a warmly endearing, sharply
observed, and frankly funny look at life in
Hollywood.
In 1986, Jon Cryer won over America as
Molly Ringwald’s loyal and lovable best friend, Duckie, in
the cult classic Pretty in Pink in a role that set
the tone for his three-decade-long career in Hollywood. He
went on to establish himself as one of the most talented
comedic actors in the business, ultimately culminating in
his current turn as Alan Harper on the massively popular
sitcom Two and a Half Men.
With the instincts
of a natural storyteller, Cryer charts his extraordinary
journey in show business, illuminating his many triumphs and
some missteps along the way. Filled with exclusive
behind-the-scenes anecdotes, Cryer offers his own endearing
perspective on Hollywood, the business at large, and the art
of acting.
Cryer has worked with some of the biggest
and most provocative names in the business, and here, for
the first time, he details his experiences with Charlie
Sheen, John Hughes, Robert Altman, Molly Ringwald, Demi
Moore, Judd Nelson, and Christopher Reeve, among many
others. He shares the intimate details of his friendships
and relationships, pays tribute to his mentors, and explores
the peculiar combination of heart, talent, and wisdom it
takes to survive not just the bad times in a notoriously
fickle industry but even the good times.
In this
revealing, humorous, and introspective memoir, Cryer offers
readers a front-row seat as he reminisces about his life and
experiences in showbiz over the past thirty years.
