About this product

Product Information

In this startling candid and poignant memoir, the legendary Emmy Award-winning star of The Young and The Restless , America's #1 soap opera, chronicles his amazing life, from his birth in World War II Germany to his arrival in America to his rise to humanitarian and daytime superstar for the past thirty-five years. For nearly four decades, fans have welcomed the star of television's number-one daytime show, The Young and the Restless , into their living rooms. While they've come to know and love the suave Victor Newman, few truly know the man behind the character, the supremely talented Eric Braeden. I'll Be Damned is his story--a startling and uplifting true tale of war, deprivation, determination, fame, and social commitment that spans from Nazi Germany to modern Hollywood. Braeden's journey from a hospital basement in Kiel to the soundstages of Los Angeles has taught him more about joy, heartbreak, fear, dignity, loss, love, loneliness, exhilaration, courage, persecution, and profound responsibility to the global community than he could have hoped to learn in several lifetimes. Growing up in the years after Germany's defeat, Braeden knew very little about the atrocities of his parents' generation, until he arrived in America as a teenager--a discovery that horrified and transformed him. Trying to redress the wrongs of his homeland, he has dedicated his life to humanitarian work--even forming the German American Culture Society--working for decades to show the world that what we share as humans is far more important than what separates us from one another. Told with openness, candor, humor, heart, and occasional raw vulnerability, I'll Be Damned reveals a man committed to making the world a better, more loving place. Filled with sixteen pages of photos from his decorated life and career, I'll Be Damned will be a treasured keepsake for Y&R fans, and is an inspiring testament to the goodness within us all.

Well worth your time!!
Eric Braeden leaves no stone unturned -- from his humble beginnings in Germany to his early life in California parking cars to his multiple, multiple feuds on the set. Even more interesting than the actors he praises are the names he leaves out. Trust me -- quite a few noticeable snubs!!! What made the book particularly relevant is that he addresses that, in spite of his German heritage, there was a lot more to 1940s Germany than anti-Semitism. We often get caught up scapegoating a country (North Korea, Iran, Russia) when the truth is there are a lot of really good people in these countries, in spite of their politics. He follows up on his previous support of the war with Iraq. He believed we needed to commit to a 10-15 year occupation of the country. Worth considering. And of course, some of the common soap staples are touched on, including characters talking to themselves and the decreasing budgets of today's productions. All in all, a fascinating read for any Y&R fan or someone who wants to learn a bit more about German history and backstage Hollywood gossip.Read full review

I have watched The Young and the Restless for years and bought the book to find out more about Eric Braeden. His story of his life was more than I would have expected. I found his book very interesting and I found out Mr. Braden has overcome many hardships but has earned the success and admiration he now has.

Great bio from Victor Newman actor Eriic Braden
This was a gift for my wife who loves The Young and the Restless. She was very happy and I also enjoyed the book. I really like some the pictures included. Mr Braden is very interesting and I consider him a real treasure to continue to watch.
