About this listen

One of the most accomplished and outspoken actors today chronicles the highs and lows of his life in this beautifully written, candid memoir.

Over the past three decades, Alec Baldwin has established himself as one of Hollywood’s most gifted, hilarious, and controversial leading men. From his work in popular movies, including Beetlejuice, Working Girl, Glengarry Glen Ross, The Cooler, and Martin Scorsese’s The Departed to his role as Jack Donaghy on Tina Fey’s irreverent series 30 Rock—for which he won two Emmys, three Golden Globes, and seven Screen Actors Guild Awards—and as Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Saturday Night Live, he’s both a household name and a deeply respected actor.

In Nevertheless, Baldwin transcends his public persona, making public facets of his life he has long kept private. In this honest, affecting memoir, he introduces us to the Long Island child who felt burdened by his family’s financial strains and his parents’ unhappy marriage; the Washington, DC, college student gearing up for a career in politics; the self-named ""Love Taxi"" who helped friends solve their romantic problems while neglecting his own; the young soap actor learning from giants of the theatre; the addict drawn to drugs and alcohol who struggles with sobriety; the husband and father who acknowledges his failings and battles to overcome them; and the consummate professional for whom the work is everything. Throughout Nevertheless, one constant emerges: the fearlessness that defines and drives Baldwin’s life.

Told with his signature candor, astute observational savvy, and devastating wit, Nevertheless reveals an Alec Baldwin we have never fully seen before.

Would you consider the audio edition of Nevertheless to be better than the print version?
Yes, another reviewer said that his voice was like Velvet= So true, the print version would have none of this depth.

What about Alec Baldwin’s performance did you like?
I really enjoyed the pitch and tone of his voice throughout, it felt like someone reading you a compelling story about the life and times of one New Yorker rather than a celeb just self indulgently blahing on about little details of their life to date.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Almost! I actually got through it in like 3 days. I'm just making my way through SNL bio's following Tina's and AmyP's and enjoyed this despite know very little about Alec Baldwin.

Any additional comments?
It's certainly not a comedy bio. As he states, he is not a comedian.. its the writers that write good comedy and have the ideas - he just knows how to act, and part of that is delivering comedy to be as funny as it was written.

Just to let you know, I work for Audible, but the views expressed in this review are 100% my own.

Suprisingly good, narrative style was spot on

I wish that Mr Baldwin had not chosen such a depressing tone of voice to read his bio ... at first I was put off by it... but then the story of his life gripped me. If you like listening to actors talk about The Biz...you will like this book

Mr Baldwin sets the record straight

Alec Baldwin is one of my most favorite actors. His story gives a fantastic insight to his genius. Its fascinating to hear about the environment in which he was raised and the relationships with his siblings and parents. I really love how he takes responsibility for his mistakes allowing the reader to be his confessor. i highly recommend this book.
