STORIES I ONLY TELL MY FRIENDS an autobiography by Rob Lowe

Finished Su 11/13/11
A well written autobiography about an actor that I am only slightly familiar with. It certainly makes me want to see if I can view a few episodes of WEST WING, at the very least.

Lowe is actually a small town guy from Akron, Ohio. His mother married three times, and she seems more than a little neurotic, and I'm sure that Rob would agree.

-They lived in the Malibu, CA area back in the mid 70's when it was far from the exclusive community that it is today.
-He and his family were friends and neighbors with The Sheen clan.
-In August of 2001 he was on an American airlines flight which was a 'dry run' for the 9/11 terrorists.
-As a kid in Ohio he was always able to get acting gigs in local theater and university productions. However, in Hollywood, either you are in the business, or you are not. There is not much theater whatsoever. Strange observation, but true.
