I have a soft spot for Alec Baldwin.
He seems he could be a gruff person but there is something about him that I find interesting.
I loved that he started the book by stating that he did it for the money.
He then goes on to explain why that is.
Sure I was into the book because I am a fan and I wanted to hear about The Hunt for Red October. But I also wanted to know what the business of being an actor is about.
What I got was a complex story about the man himself, what motivated him early on and what moves him now. His struggles with drugs and his marriage to Kim Basinger played enormous roles in who he is today.
I came away from the book feeling that I had a pretty good measure of the man before I started it. Say what you will about movie stars, their lives are not easy and a regular person can still learn a lot from those willing to lay themselves out there.
I was lucky enough to enjoy the audiobook, which was read by Baldwin himself. That voice. Honey and gravel.
Loved it.
