The Complicated Life of Hollywood Star Alec Baldwin

Alec Baldwin’s life has always resisted a simple Hollywood summary. He grew up on Long Island, fought his way through New York acting circles, became a movie star, reinvented himself on 30 Rock, and turned into one of Saturday Night Live’s defining guests. But his story also includes family battles, public controversies, political outspokenness, a huge later-life household, and the tragedy of Rust, making his career one of Hollywood’s most complicated modern stories.
