Alec Baldwin to pen memoir Nevertheless

Emmy-winning actor and reputed hothead Alec Baldwin is putting his actions into words. A memoir about his life, the ups and downs of his career and his struggles with addiction is due out next year, publisher HarperCollins said on Friday.

The book, entitled Nevertheless, is scheduled for launch in the autumn of 2016.

"Alec Baldwin is a larger-than-life talent with an astonishing range. And his life up to now has been far from dull," Jonathan Burnham, senior vice-president and publisher of Harper, said in a statement.
