Non-Fiction Memoir
One of the most accomplished and outspoken actors today
chronicles the highs and lows of his life in this
beautifully written, candid memoir. Over the past three decades, Alec Baldwin has established
himself as one of Hollywood’s most gifted, hilarious, and
controversial leading men. From his work in popular movies,
including Beetlejuice, Working Girl, Glengarry Glen Ross,
The Cooler, and Martin Scorsese’s The Departed to his role
as Jack Donaghy on Tina Fey’s irreverent series 30 Rock—for
which he won two Emmys, three Golden Globes, and seven
Screen Actors Guild Awards—and as Republican presidential
candidate Donald Trump on Saturday Night Live, he’s both a
household name and a deeply respected actor. In Nevertheless, Baldwin transcends his public persona,
making public facets of his life he has long kept private.
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
Nevertheless, one constant emerges: the fearlessness that
defines and drives Baldwin’s life. Told with his signature candor, astute observational savvy,
and devastating wit, Nevertheless reveals an Alec Baldwin we
have never fully seen before.
