Book Description:

It is the genius of Carroll O'Connor that millions of fans will forever confuse him with his most unforgettable creation, Archie Bunker. But O'Connor has lived the kind of rich, momentous life that Archie could never have imagined -- from growing up in Depression-era New York and serving in the merchant marines during World War II to nurturing a fifty-year marriage and enjoying scores of classic Hollywood moments with the likes of Rob Reiner and Jean Stapleton (All in the Family), Howard Rollins (In the Heat of the Night), Clint Eastwood (Kelly's Heroes), and Elizabeth Taylor (Cleopatra).

But Hollywood is also the source of O'Connor's most painful memory: the cocaine addiction and suicide of his son, Hugh. Here, he speaks honestly about both his loss and his efforts to educate others about the horrors of drug abuse.

Candid and insightful, spirited and funny, O'Connor emerges from behind the actor's mask to reveal television history in the making, and with his Irish charm, tell the story of all the families he has been able to call his own. In a career graced with landmark achievements, I Think I'm Outta Here stands as one of the most moving and memorable of all.
