Soon to be a feature film, "The Late Bloomer" is the revealing,
harrowing and often funny memoir of a celebrity journalist and
former hotshot hockey player who discovers that he has been
biochemically infused with a female hormone. On the surface, Ken
Baker seemed a model man. He was a nationally ranked hockey goalie;
a Hollywood correspondent for" People;" a guest-lister at celebrity
parties; and girls came on to him. Inside, though, he didn't feel
like the man he was supposed to be. Although attracted to women,
Ken had little sex drive and thus even less of a sex life. To his
anguish, he repeatedly found himself unable to perform sexually.
And, regardless of strenuous workouts, his body struggled to build
muscle, earning him the nickname "Pear" from his macho teammates.
Physically, matters turned bizarre when he discovered that he was
lactating. The testosterone-driven culture in which Ken grew up
made it agonizingly difficult for him to seek help. But in time he
discovered something that lifted years of pain, frustration, and
confusion: a brain tumor was causing his body to be flooded with
massive amounts of a female hormone, which was disabling his
masculinity. Five hours of surgery accomplished what years of
therapy, rumination, and denial could not -- and allowed Ken Baker
to finally feel -- and function -- like a man. Now Ken's story
comes to the screen in the feature film, T"he Late Bloomer,"
starring Academy Award-winner J.K. Simmons and Jane Lynch.
