Overview
Whether he's sharing the stage with Liza Minelli, going as Faye Dunaway's last-minute date to the Grammys, going tte--tte with a surely Gore Vidal, taking the legendary (and legendarily formidable) Stanley Kubrick to task, staging a superhero intervention with Sir Patrick Stewart and Halle Berry, or dancing with the Spice Girls, Alan Cumming has a knack for finding the humor, and humanity, in every moment. In a series of colorful episodes bookended by two marriages, the ending of his first to his wife, and the start of his second to his husband. Baggage charts Man Cumming's unique and wonderful career and all the times that Hollywood has, since a nervous breakdown at the age of twenty-eight, swooped into his life to whisk him away from moments of confusion or near destruction and introduced levity, joy, or just plain fun. Written with a clear voice that brims with honesty, wit, and a keen eye for the smallest (and often most hilarious) details, Baggage is a memoir from a man who embraces both the darkness and the light, and has found the happy median of a truly authentic life ... albeit with some baggage. Book jacket.
