Publisher Description: Catch a Fallen Star is the story of Layton Cross, a man who fails upward. It's a private look at the fast-paced life of an actor who achieved stardom after marrying a superstar, but his career unraveled as she outshone him. His downward spiral touches all bases: drugs, divorce, violence, megalomania. Cross's career sinks from bad films to worse TV and an embarrassing stint in the theater--yet his fame and popularity continue to rise. We're privy to all the sordid events: his public battles with both ex-wives; his clash with the head of a major studio; his best friend's deceit; his daughter's troubling secret. Grobel, whose in-depth interviews have appeared in Playboy, Movieline, Premiere, and Rolling Stone, is on familiar territory with this novel |
