À propos de cet audio

A wryly funny and surprisingly moving account of an extraordinary life lived almost entirely in the public eye.

A teen idol at 15, an international icon and founder of the Brat Pack at 20, and one of Hollywood's top stars to this day, Rob Lowe chronicles his experiences as a painfully misunderstood child actor in Ohio who was uprooted to the wild counterculture of mid-'70s Malibu, where he embarked on his unrelenting pursuit of a career in Hollywood.

The Outsiders placed Lowe at the birth of the modern youth movement in the entertainment industry. During his time on The West Wing, he witnessed the surreal nexus of show business and politics, both on the set and in the actual White House. And in between are deft and humorous stories of the wild excesses that marked the '80s, leading to his quest for family and sobriety.

Never mean-spirited or salacious, Lowe delivers unexpected glimpses into his successes, disappointments, relationships, and one-of-a-kind encounters with people who shaped our world over the last 25 years. These stories are as entertaining as they are unforgettable.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"[Lowe] writes viscerally and insightfully...He looks back at the aberrant highs of his heart-throb days, the changing nature of stardom in Hollywood, the trade-off he has made between high life and home life, and the step-by-step effort behind his show business survival. He looked like the callowest kid in the "Outsiders" crew. Now he looks like the sturdiest of them all" (The New York Times)

"A fresh pop-culture history of Hollywood in the ’70s and ’80s from the point of view of the man who lived it…[Lowe] is as funny as he is thoughtful. This is the best type of celeb memoir, because its author is as interested in the world as the world is interested in him." (People Magazine)

"A lovely autobiography, equal parts dish and pathos.” (Vanity Fair)

I have a whole new respect for Rob Lowe

I loved hearing the stories of Rob's life. What an inspiration he is. A breath of fresh air and honesty that is hard to find these days.

Absolutely Fabulous 👍

Don't hesitate buy it, such a fantastic listen. I listened to the end of chapter 6 and paused it. I asked Alexa to find me the movie The Outsider's (fire TV) And she did, the movie was brilliant i highly recommend watching it.
Back to re listen to chapter 6 having now more understanding of the characters in the movie Mr. Lowe goes on to Beautifully narrate the rest of this great book. Thank you Mr. Lowe. Stay Gold 👍

Definitely recommend to listen

It is always interesting to get to know someone through their biography. I doubt that an actor today could travel the path that Rob did. He tells his story in an interesting way and doesn’t pull any punches. It’s interesting and entertaining. I’m so very glad that he found sobriety and the love of his life. I would definitely recommend it. He’s a good author and definitely a wonderful performer.

Cannot Recommend Highly Enough!!!

Whether you are a fan of Rob Lowe or not, you will enjoy this book if you are fan of movies and tv. While you will learn many personally candid facts and surprising stories about the actor himself, you will also hear an abundance of behind the scenes revelations of so many well known productions and acting legends, that you will never experience a lull. There is nothing gratuitously salacious. Rob Lowe is all class, while still being honest in his retelling of memories. He shares insightful facts and fascinating stories that really shed a lot of interesting light on people and shows that we grew up with, while taking us on his personal journey from childhood to adolescence and then parenthood for himself.
And I would be remiss to not mention what a stellar impersonator Rob is! It is uncanny how much he can sound like so many of the people he quotes throughout this book.
I cannot recommend this book enough!!

Well that was revealing.

Growing up through the Rob Lowe years we certainly were given a different perspective of this man. I’m so happy to hear his side.

The best

I read the book, but listening to Lowe narrate it is unparalleled. Witty, charming and intelligent. Lowe reveals a scrappy intellect and boot strap mentality that is not so obvious from his early days as a reputed “pretty boy” and ladies man. He is absolutely more than that. The audio shares his heartfelt emotions when discussing his boys, his wife and friends. The audio, does everything to demonstrate how human, genuine and the earnest mid western guy he is (with a sharp wit to boot) Unlike many other rock bios and actor bios these days it isn’t a cleansed version of his past and experiences - I feel like I’m at the parties, clubs, sets and rehabs and family milestones with him seeing and experiencing it all. worth the read and listen on so many levels.
