cademy Award-winning actor. Pulitzer Prize-winning author. Winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics for his revolutionary work in quantum mechanics. Tom Arnold is none of these things.What he is, though, as revealed in the pages of Tom Arnold: Sorry, Its Me, is a hilarious and delightful chronicler of one of the weirdest lives in the circus tent known as Hollywood: his own. Arnold employs a distinctive, self-deprecating humor to tell the story of his life, from his formative years, working in the highly stimulating meat-packing plants of his beloved Iowa to his very public successes and failures in the world of movies and TV, and, oh yeah, theres something in there about his marriages as wellTouching on subjects as wide ranging as drug addiction (When I was young, I swore Id never drinkalthough I didnt make any promises about crack.) and, of course, divorce (You cant make a woman stay if she really wants to go. Not legally anyway.), Tom Arnold unburdens himself in a ribald and distinctive fashion. But like all great humor, Arnolds book is fashioned from the ups and downs of real life, which lend an unexpected poignancy to the proceedings. Tom Arnold is unlike any celebrity autobiography youve read.
