A wryly funny and surprisingly moving account of an extraordinary life lived
almost entirely in the public eye
A teen idol at fifteen, an international icon and founder of the Brat Pack
at twenty, and one of Hollywood's top stars to this day, Rob Lowe chronicles
his experiences as a painfully misunderstood child actor in Ohio uprooted to
the wild counterculture of mid-seventies 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 eighties, 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 twenty-five years. These stories
are as entertaining as they are unforgettable.
