So That Happened

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

The Emmy-winning star of Two and a Half Men opens up in this warmly endearing and frankly funny memoir about life in Hollywood.
 
If it can happen in show business, it’s happened to Jon Cryer. Now he’s opening up and sharing his behind-the-scenes stories in a warmly endearing, sharply observed, and frankly funny look at life in Hollywood.
 
In 1986, Jon Cryer won over America as Molly Ringwald’s loyal and lovable best friend, Duckie, in Pretty in Pink—a role that set the tone for his three-decades-long career in Hollywood. He went on to establish himself as one of the most talented comedic actors in the business, ultimately culminating in his award-winning turn as Alan Harper on the massively popular sitcom Two and a Half Men.
 
Now Cryer charts his extraordinary journey, illuminating his many triumphs and some missteps along the way. Filled with exclusive behind-the-scenes anecdotes and his experiences with some of the biggest and most provocative names in the business, including Charlie Sheen, John Hughes, Molly Ringwald, Demi Moore, and Christopher Reeve, Cryer offers his own endearing perspective on Hollywood, the business at large, and the art of acting.
 
This revealing, humorous, and introspective memoir is a front-row seat to Jon’s life and experiences in showbiz over the past thirty years.
