Paul Dooley has been an actor for sixty-five years and has
portrayed fathers in more than twenty-five movies. He is best known
for his roles as the father in Breaking Away, Sixteen Candles, and
Run Away Bride. While he was the on-screen dad to Julia Roberts,
Molly Ringwald, Toni Collette, Robin Wright, and Helen Hunt, his
personal life held a painful secret. In Movie Dad, Dooley reveals
that before he became a father to Hollywood actresses, his own
fatherhood was jeopardized when his ex-wife kidnapped his two
children, Robin and Adam. His touching biography shows the shock
and denial he experienced when he read the letter his ex-wife left
that said, "I'm leaving. I'm taking the kids. We're not coming
back." What followed was private detectives, court, and frantically
looking for his children. When he only found dead-ends, he threw
himself into work, and after twenty-five years as an actor, he was
in the movies overnight. The success he found as a father on-screen
is a story of wry irony, which he tells in Movie Dad.
