Long-listed, Barnes and Noble Best New Books of the Year, 2024

This program is read by the author, Golden Globe–winning actor Eric Roberts.

In this brutally candid memoir, Academy Award and Golden Globe nominee Eric Roberts pulls no punches about the ups and downs of his career and his sometimes stormy relationship with his famous sister, Julia.

Eric Roberts grew up in Georgia, spending most of his teens away from his mother and sisters, Lisa and Julia. Instead, he stayed with his controlling father, a grifter jealous of his early success. At age 17, Eric moved to New York to pursue acting, where he worked and partied with future legends like Christopher Walken, Mickey Rourke, John Malkovich, Bruce Willis, and Robin Williams.

His big break came when he was cast in King of the Gypsies. Eric became one of the hottest stars of his era, starting an affair with actress Sandy Dennis, working with Bob Fosse on the critically acclaimed Star 80, and earning an Oscar nomination for Runaway Train. But for Eric, Hollywood came with a dark side—an ocean of cocaine that nearly swept him away, culminating in a car accident that almost cost him his life.

Eric is open about the seriousness of his addictions and their devastating effect on his career. He reveals the reasons behind his complicated relationship with his sister, Julia, and his daughter, Emma, a successful actress in her own right. Now, happily married to actress and casting director Eliza Roberts, who helped him confront his demons, he is revered among his peers as the ultimate actor’s actor.

Written with New York Times bestselling author, for years a Vanity Fair contributing editor, and current Air Mail writer-at-large Sam Kashner, this is a powerful memoir of a Hollywood legend.

Music for this program is courtesy of Keaton Simons.

Raw honesty

Splendid. So raw and beautiful, though hard to hear at times. Glad to travel with him.

This is a hard one to review.

The overall story was very interesting and intriguing. But I wish I hadn’t read it. His honesty around his upbringing, even to the dismay of his family, was very brave. The hardest part for me though was his mistreatment of his wife. There’s a level of narcissism there, in one particular story that says it all. It was a performance where she was the one in the spotlight, with him either a secondary character or just hanging around, and rather than supporting her, he was humiliating her by hitting on a woman who was part of the production staff. He could’ve had indiscretions, as he had had several in a quieter way, but this was purposeful. He expresses an apology in an ‘oops’ way, but he never really gets down to the fact that he was so insecure that he had to ruin her moment. Towards the end he speaks directly to wondering why she stayed. But it falls flat. I just wonder what the life of that lovely woman could’ve been.

Bold and Heartfelt

The narration is outstanding and a joy to listen to. It was fascinating to hear the tale of the author’s southern start in life. His movies have been an echo in my life and his ups and downs helped me see my own times a little more clearly. I love cats too and think cat men are the best ones.

He holds nothing back

Honesty as he sees himself. I wondered if his family agree with how he presented them I. His book.

I spent a couple years of my childhood living across the street from Eric.

He had friends. He just didn’t know it. We were a little younger and we were always happy to see him coming. Very patient with kids at his age of 14. Loved that he threw the football or popped a baseball out so we could play “500” on the front lawn ( which seemed to us to be as big as a football field ), of Grady High.
This story is both heartbreaking and candid. In spite of any and all gregarious missteps made by the man, I’m happy we crossed paths and smiled and laughed for a moment in time.

Great stories told by the man himself

Mr. Robert’s did a great job telling his story and is a fantastic narrator (not a huge surprise for the talented actor).
