"A thorough and sophisticated effort to answer an interesting
question: How did an indifferently raised, self-flagellating kid
from a just-making-ends-meet, desultorily functioning Long Island
family, in Massapequa, turn into Alec Baldwin, gifted actor,
familiar public figure, impressively thoughtful person, notorious
pugilist? ...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."-New York Times 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.
