Stories I Only Tell My Friends

 I didn't have high expectations for Rob Lowe's Memoir but since he was my biggest Brat Pack crush from the 80's I thought, what the heck and read it.  Not to mention the fact that he was in my two favorite movies of all time:  St. Elmos Fire and About Last Night.  The book was entertaining but I think the best part was probably the picture...seriously he will always be a cutie in my book!  Maybe it's just my 80's crush talking here.

The media frenzy of the 80's wasn't quite what it is today so truth be told there are a lot of things we don't know about our favorites from that era.  He did manage to share a few secrets I was unaware of.  You would think a guy like Rob Lowe would be the most popular guy in school...not the case...quite the opposite...totally surprising.  He worked very hard to get to where he is from a very young age, also, news to me.  I thought some talent head hunter just plucked him out of a mall in Ohio and moved him to Hollywood.  I was completely unaware that he actually had a strong passion for acting.  He speaks very candidly about his journey through stardom in an interesting, smart, witty and humorous way.  It seems Mr. Lowe has grown into a fine man.
