Love Life

After writing his acclaimed bestseller, Stories I Only Tell My Friends, Rob Lowe realized he had even more stories, and many more friends. The result of this epiphany is Love Life, a memoir about men and women, actors and producers, art and commerce, fathers and sons, movies and TV, addiction and recovery, sex and love. Among the adventures he describes are: His visit, as a young man, to Hugh Hefner’s Playboy Mansion, where the naive actor made a surprising discovery in the hot tub. The time, as a boy growing up in Malibu, he discovered a vibrator belonging to his best friend’s mother. What it’s like to be the star and producer of a flop TV show. How an actor prepares, for Californification, Parks and Recreation, and numerous other roles. His hilarious account of coaching a kid’s basketball team dominated by helicopter parents. How his great, great, great, great, great grandfather may have inspired everything from his love of “The West Wing” to his taste in classic American architecture. His first visit to college, with his son, who is about to begin his freshman year and receive the education his father never got. The time a major movie star stole his girlfriend.

Stories I Only Tell My Friends

A wryly funny and moving account of an extraordinary life lived almost entirely in the public eye. Teen idol at fifteen, international icon and founder of the Brat Pack at twenty, and one of Hollywood's top stars to this day, Rob Lowe chronicles his experiences as a painfully misunderstood child actor in Ohio uprooted to the wild counterculture of mid-seventies Malibu, where he embarked on his unrelenting pursuit of a career in Hollywood. The Outsiders placed Lowe at the birth of the modern youth movement in the entertainment industry. During his time on The West Wing, he witnessed the surreal nexus of show business and politics both on the set and in the actual White House. And in between are deft and humorous stories of the wild excesses that marked the eighties, leading to his quest for family and sobriety. Never mean-spirited or salacious, Lowe delivers unexpected glimpses into his successes, disappointments, relationships, and one-of-a-kind encounters with people who shaped our world over the last twenty-five years. These stories are as entertaining as they are unforgettable.
