In this startling candid and poignant memoir, the legendary Emmy
Award-winning star of The Young and The Restless, America's #1 soap
opera, chronicles his amazing life, from his birth in World War II
Germany to his arrival in America to his rise to humanitarian and
daytime superstar for the past thirty-five years.For nearly four
decades, fans have welcomed the star of television's number-one
daytime show, The Young and the Restless, into their living rooms.
While they've come to know and love the suave Victor Newman, few
truly know the man behind the character, the supremely talented
Eric Braeden. I'll Be Damned is his story--a startling and
uplifting true tale of war, deprivation, determination, fame, and
social commitment that spans from Nazi Germany to modern Hollywood.
Braeden's journey from a hospital basement in Kiel to the
soundstages of Los Angeles has taught him more about joy,
heartbreak, fear, dignity, loss, love, loneliness, exhilaration,
courage, persecution, and profound responsibility to the global
community than he could have hoped to learn in several lifetimes.
Growing up in the years after Germany's defeat, Braeden knew very
little about the atrocities of his parents' generation, until he
arrived in America as a teenager--a discovery that horrified and
transformed him. Trying to redress the wrongs of his homeland, he
has dedicated his life to humanitarian work--even forming the
German American Culture Society--working for decades to show the
world that what we share as humans is far more important than what
separates us from one another. Told with openness, candor, humor,
heart, and occasional raw vulnerability, I'll Be Damned reveals a
man committed to making the world a better, more loving place.
Filled with sixteen pages of photos from his decorated life and
career, I'll Be Damned will be a treasured keepsake for Y&R
fans, and is an inspiring testament to the goodness within us all.
