|
Award-winning African-American actor Gossett takes an unvarnished look at the daunting challenges and incredible triumphs of his 55-year career in film and stage. He writes frankly of his struggle to get leading roles and fair pay as a black man in Hollywood, his problems with drugs and alcohol, and his current work to eradicate racism and violence.
