Do you remember the first time you saw the actor, Eric Roberts, on screen? His big break was King of the Gypsies and he was gorgeous. And he could act, just popped from the screen. Star 80, Pope of Greenwich Village, Runaway Train, and so many more.
Runaway Train (or the story of my life so far) by Eric Roberts (with Sam Kashner) is a no holds barred memoir. cover blurb - 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 younger, more famous sister, Julia.
Crazy childhood in Georgia, controlling abusive father.
Seventeen - off to New York City - worked and partied with the likes of Christopher Walken, Mickey Rourke, Bruce Willis, Robin Williams
Hot star of the era, affairs with famous actresses.
Dark side of drugs - way too much cocaine and a horrifying car accident
Eric Roberts has lived to tell the tale of his life up to now - he is 66. An actor's actor, he's worked with the best on stage and screen, he's still active and in the game, and he's still working on his demons.
I enjoyed the memoir and his sense of humor. What a crazy life! (so far)
