He walked out on Hollywood, walked out of a shattered marriage, defied the courts, and, broke and an outlaw, set sail with his four children in the schooner \u003cem\u003eWanderer\u003c\/em\u003e--bound for the South Seas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLong before he was an actor, Hayden was a seaman. He had sailed before the mast and as mate and captain in sailing ships. He had been a Grand Banks fisherman. Then Hollywood offered him a screen test. Pushed to stardom, he became the leading man to one of the screen's most beautiful women, and the money began to flow. With money and fame, however, came a gnawing dissatisfaction with his life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis attempt to escape launches this autobiography. It is the candid, sometimes painfully revealing confession of a man who scrutinizes his every self-defeat and self-betrayal in the unblinking light of conscience. It is also the triumph of a complex and contradictory man, still a rebel and a seeker, undefeated by his failure to find himself in love, adventure, drink, or escape to the South Seas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is, as Eugene Burdick said of it, \"utterly fascinating, written by a man who has been able to achieve an honesty about himself which is almost unique.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sterling Hayden\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 039333628X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780393336283\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
