On screen, Danny Trejo the actor is a baddie who has been killed at least a hundred times. He's been shot, stabbed, hanged, chopped up, squished by an elevator, and once, was even melted into a bloody goo. Off screen, he's a hero beloved by recovery communities and obsessed fans alike. But the real Danny Trejo is much more complicated than the legend. Raised in an abusive home, Danny struggled with heroin addiction and stints in some of the country's most notorious state prisons, including San Quentin and Folsom, from an early age, before starring in such modern classics as Heat, From Dusk till Dawn, and Machete. Now, in this funny, painful, and suspenseful memoir, Danny takes us through the incredible ups and downs of his life, including meeting one of the world's most notorious serial killers in prison and working with legends like Charles Bronson and Robert De Niro. In honest, unflinching detail, Danny recounts how he managed the horrors of prison, rebuilt himself after finding sobriety and spirituality in solitary confinement, and draws inspiration from the adrenaline-fueled robbing heists of his past for the film roles that made him a household name. He also shares the painful contradictions in his personal life. Although he speaks everywhere from prison yards to NPR about his past to inspire countless others on their own road to recovery and redemption, he struggles to help his children with their personal battles with addiction, and to build relationships that last. Redemptive and painful, poignant and real, Trejo is a portrait of a magnificent life and an unforgettable and exceptional journey through tragedy, pain, and, finally, success that will transfix and inspire."--|cProvided by publisher. 600 10 Trejo, Danny,|d1944- 600 17 Trejo, Danny,|d1944-|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01952263 650 0 Actors|zUnited States|vBiography. 650 0 Hispanic American actors|vBiography. 650 0 Ex-convicts|zUnited States|vBiography. 650 0 Drug addicts|zUnited States|vBiography. 650 0 Large type books. 650 7 BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Cultural, Ethnic & Regional / Hispanic & Latino.|2bisacsh 650 7 BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Entertainment & Performing Arts.|2bisacsh 650 7 BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Personal Memoirs.|2bisacsh 650 7 Actors.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00796296 650 7 Drug addicts.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01430242 650 7 Ex-convicts.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00917418 650 7 Hispanic American actors.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00957331 650 7 Large type books.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00992678 651 7 United States.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 Biographies.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 Autobiographies.|2lcgft 655 7 Biographies.|2lcgft 700 1 Logue, Donal,|d1966-|eauthor. 830 0 Thorndike Press large print biographies and memoirs. 994 C0|bCKE
