About this listen

The legendary icon tells his story - a tale of art, passion, commitment, and addiction, as intense and hypnotic as the man himself.

In a career spanning five decades, Nick Nolte has endured the rites of Hollywood celebrity. Rising from obscurity to leading roles and Oscar nominations, he has been both celebrated and vilified in the media; survived marriages, divorces, and a string of romances; was named the "Sexiest Man Alive" by People magazine; and suffered public humiliation over his drug and alcohol issues, including a drug-fueled trip down a "long road of nothingness" that ended in arrest.

Despite these ups and downs, Nolte has remained true to the craft he loves, portraying a diverse range of characters with his trademark physicality and indelible gravelly voice. Already 35 when his performance in the 1976 miniseries Rich Man, Poor Man launched him to stardom, Nolte never learned to play by Hollywood's rules. A rebel who defies expectations, an obsessive method actor who will go to extremes for a role (he lived among the homeless to prepare for Down and Out in Beverly Hills), Nolte is motivated more by edgier, more personal projects than by box office success. Today he is clean yet still driven, juggling a number of upcoming works and raising his young daughter.

A man who refuses to hide his mistakes, Nolte now delivers his most revealing performance yet. His revealing memoir offers a candid, unvarnished close-up look at the man, the career, the loves, and the life.

Rob Lowe's books are similar to Nolte's. The story of fame, fortune, and downfall are uplifting.

Which character – as performed by Nick Nolte and Christian Baskous – was your favorite?

The narrator, Christian Baskous is amazing. He really captures Nolte's voice, tone, and raspiness. His performance makes listening to the story as if Nolte is reading it himself.

As an Audible book junkie, I can easily say this was great listening. I felt like I was getting a personal reading and private look inside the man’s life. SUPERBLY narrated. You thought the author was reading it himself. If you enjoy autobiographies from the entertainment world and you’re even SLIGHTLY familiar with Nick Nolte’s work, you’ll love it.

One of the best, (if not THEE Best) books I’ve ever listened to.

Very moving life story which is full of surprises, challenges and pain. The lesson is don’t give up. Every time you are knocked down, just stand and move forward.

I've always loved Nick Nolte's acting talent and he was my first crush but I didn't know anything about him. This memoir was beautifully written and I didn't want it to end. Nolte is endlessly fascinating, deep thinking and feeling, complex and unflinchingly honest.
The narrator is exceptional and has a voice very similar to Nolte- even his inflections are spot on. Fantastic read. I wanted more...I was a little sad that he didn't write about making the movie 3 Fugitives with Martin Short...one of my favorites. His craft and process- especially how he has chosen roles is impressive. He is humble and this book made me love him even more.

Delightful
