Story
The New York Times best-selling biography of an American comedy legend. After three years of sobriety, Chris Farley's life was at its creative peak until a string of professional disappointments chased him back to drugs and alcohol. He fought hard against them, but it was a fight he would lose in December 1997. Farley's fans immediately drew parallels between his death and that of his idol, John Belushi. Without looking deeper, however, many failed to see that Farley was much more than just another Hollywood drug overdose. In this officially authorized oral history, Farley's friends and family remember his work and life.

In December 2016, the world was shaken by the sudden deaths of Carrie Fisher and her mother Debbie Reynolds, two unspeakable losses. The stunned public turned for solace to Debbie’s only remaining child, Todd Fisher. The son of "America’s Sweethearts" Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher, Todd grew up amid the glamorous wealth and pretense of Hollywood. Thanks to his mother, Todd remained down to earth, his own man, but always close to his cherished mom, and to his sister through her meteoric rise to stardom and her struggle with demons that never diminished her humor, talent, or spirit.

Story
From his rapid-fire stand-up comedy riffs to his breakout role in Mork & Mindy and his Academy Award-winning performance in Good Will Hunting, Robin Williams was a singularly innovative and beloved entertainer. He often came across as a man possessed, holding forth on culture and politics while mixing in personal revelations - all with mercurial, tongue-twisting intensity as he inhabited and shed one character after another with lightning speed. But as Dave Itzkoff shows in this revelatory biography, Williams’ comic brilliance masked a deep well of conflicting emotions and self-doubt.

The result is a revealing look at coming of age in a maelstrom, reckoning with conflicted ambition, innocence, addiction, and masculinity.

Publisher's Summary
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.

Well Rounded Character
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I am enjoying this book and have already recommended it to several people. Nolte's story is interesting and impressive.
What other book might you compare Rebel to and why?
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.

NOLTE IS SO INTERESTING
I have loved Nolte since Rich Man Poor Man and have made it a point to take in all his works. Only recently have I begun to read/listen to celebrity autobiographies, so was excited to find one by Nolte. The writing is good, his story is very interesting and human, and the narrator is perfect, even resembling the voice Nolte had in years past. I would definitely purchase a sequel.

Nick Nolte hits his mark
I have listened to many (most) of the actors’s biographies available on Audible but Nick Nolte’s stands well above the rest. Heartfelt and insightful, his soulful overview of his life’s experiences made me realize he is someone I genuinely would like to have personally known during my own lifetime. Totally diametric to my expectations, this autobiography highlights his awesome acting abilities as well as his genuine caring persona.

Not the roller-coaster ride I was expecting from an ex addict and alcoholic. Beating these addictions should be one of his greatest strengths, and the rock bottoms he reached would be interesting reading, but underplayed this, or didn't mention at all
