Within this startling candid and poignant memoir, the renowned Emmy Award-winning legend of The Young and the Restless, America's number-one cleaning soap opera, chronicles his amazing life, from his birth in World Warfare II Germany to his arrival in America to his surge to humanitarian and daytime superstar for days gone by 35 years. For practically four decades, followers have welcomed the legend of television's number-one daytime show, The Young and the Restless, to their living spaces. While they've come to learn 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 history - a startling and uplifting true story of warfare, deprivation, determination, popularity, and social commitment that spans from Nazi Germany to modern Hollywood. Braeden's journey from a medical center cellar in Kiel to the soundstages of Los Angeles has trained him more about joy, heartbreak, fear, dignity, damage, love, loneliness, exhilaration, courage, persecution, and serious responsibility to the global community than he might have hoped to learn in several lifetimes. Growing up in the years after Germany's defeat, Braeden knew hardly any about the atrocities of his parents' era until he arrived in America as an adolescent - a finding that horrified and altered him. Wanting to redress the wrongs of his homeland, he has dedicated his life to humanitarian work - even developing the German American Culture Contemporary society - working for decades showing the world that everything we show as humans is a lot more important than what separates us from one another. Advised with openness, candor, humor, heart, and infrequent uncooked vulnerability, I'll Be Damned uncovers a man committed to making the world an improved, more caring place. I'll Be Damned will be a treasured keepsake for Y&R followers and can be an inspiring testament to the goodness within people.
