One Helluva Ride (SIGNED FIRST EDITION)
New York: Grand Central, 2026. First edition. Hardcover. First edition, first printing. SIGNED BY MICHAEL DOUGLAS on the second front blank. Fine, fresh, unread, as-new copy in equally fine dust jacket; acquired directly from the publisher through a major book retailer. Hardcover. 481 pp. with bibliography. Illustrated with photos. The heralded autobiography by Hollywood mega-star Michael Douglas. Here he finally gives the uncensored account of a remarkable life, revealing behind-the-scenes stories featuring a Who's Who of Hollywood, many of them never before revealed and some outrageously funny. At age 31, Douglas shook up Hollywood when won his first Oscar for producing "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest"; when told he'd never be more than "a TV actor", he quit the hit series "The Streets of San Francisco" to become an international movie star, with a list of classic films that have grossed billions of dollars, and winning a second Oscar for the riveting portrayal of Gordon Gekko in "Wall Street". Douglas does not scrimp on providing more personal detail---his fractured childhood and a complex relationship with this superstar father Kirk Douglas; the story of his first marriage, infidelity and affairs with some of the most beautiful actresses in Tinsel Town; his serious struggle with alcohol drugs and rehab; his heartbreaking fight to save his son from an addiction that sent him to prison; and his against-all-odds fight against stage IV cancer. He tells, too, about seeing Catherine Zeta-Jones on screen and instantly falling for her--an incredible love story that transformed his life that has led to 25 years of marriage. Fine / fine.
