We did ok, kid : a memoir / Anthony Hopkins.
"In his powerful memoir We Did OK, Kid, Sir Anthony Hopkins reflects on his extraordinary life and career with honesty and heart. Growing up in a tough Welsh steel town, he struggled in school and was told he'd never succeed--until seeing Hamlet sparked a lifelong passion for acting. Hopkins recounts his journey from those humble beginnings to becoming one of the world's most celebrated actors, sharing behind-the-scenes stories from his iconic roles and encounters with legends like Laurence Olivier and Richard Burton. He also opens up about his battles with alcoholism, his path to sobriety, and the emotional struggles that shaped him. Filled with personal photos and deep insight, this memoir is a candid portrait of resilience, creativity, and redemption." -- Provided by publisher.
