{"product_id":"bob-goes-to-jail-a-memoir-9781644281086","title":"Bob Goes to Jail: A Memoir","description":"\u003cb\u003eROB SEDGWICK'S MEMOIR BOB GOES TO JAIL IS ONE DEGREE FROM KEVIN BACON\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRob Sedgwick was born into one of America's oldest families and Manhattan royalty. His cousin, Edie Sedgwick, was Andy Warhol's muse. His sister is Kyra Sedgwick, the actress; his brother is painter Nikko Sedgwick; his brother-in-law is movie star Kevin Bacon, and his stepfather was renowned art dealer Ben Heller, who pioneered the careers of Jackson Pollack and Mark Rothko. So, to say Rob has struggled to stand out in a family of big personalities is a huge understatement. In his hilarious and touching memoir, \u003ci\u003eBob Goes to Jail\u003c\/i\u003e, Rob relates his journey from lost little boy to hapless criminal with such honesty and heart that you can't help but root for him. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eBob Goes to Jail\u003c\/i\u003e, Sedgwick--who had the drop-dead good looks of Robert Redford and the judgment of Keith Richards--recounts how the DEA and the NYPD mistook him for a drug lord and arrested him. When his lawyer told him to get a steady job to show he was a contributing member of society, Sedgwick got a role playing a drug lord on \u003ci\u003eOne Life to Live\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHe writes about how he and his younger siblings brought themselves up in an Upper East Side Townhouse that was \"bigger than all the other Upper East Side Townhouses.\" How he sold drugs out of his grandparents' apartment, knocked up his girlfriend, and did lines of cocaine off his parents' priceless antiques--all the while being convinced that he was this close to nailing a star-making acting role. Though you cringe at each bad decision--and there are so many--it's impossible not to fall in love with him and hope he finds his way. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eBob Goes to Jail\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of a New York socialite with a price on his head from the Mexican mob. It's the story of a Hollywood actor who did New York soap operas because his parole wouldn't let him leave the isle of Manhattan. Full of self-examination and biting comedy, absurd situations and very human feeling, \u003ci\u003eBob Goes to Jail\u003c\/i\u003e is more than the memoir of a man: it is the story of the search for love, the yearning for acceptance and the struggle to find oneself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-13097555\"\u003eRob Sedgwick\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rare Bird Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/27\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781644281086\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1644281082\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BIO\"\u003eBiography \u0026amp; Autobiography\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BIO005000\"\u003eEntertainment \u0026amp; Performing Arts\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BIO\"\u003eBiography \u0026amp; Autobiography\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BIO013000\"\u003eRich \u0026amp; Famous\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BIO\"\u003eBiography \u0026amp; Autobiography\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BIO026000\"\u003ePersonal Memoirs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRob Sedgwick\u003c\/b\u003e, a lifelong New Yorker, is an actor, producer, acting coach and fitness trainer.
