On February 7, the juicy, fascinating autobiography of Y&R superstar Eric Braeden (Victor), I’ll Be Damned, will be available in bookstores and through online retailers. From his roots in war-torn Germany to a show-biz career in which he’s crossed paths with Hollywood legends (including his Titanic director, James Cameron, and Marlon Brando) and athletes (Muhammad Ali, George Foreman) — and, of course, his remarkable, decades-long run as the most powerful man in Genoa City (including the off-set feud with a co-star who tried to get him fired) — he leaves no stone unturned in his candid tale, and he gave Soap Opera Digest the scoop on its revelations in this week’s issue. ” I have nothing to hide,” he declares — and that’s why he didn’t shy away from difficult subjects like his headline-grabbing on-set confrontation with Peter Bergman (Jack). “[We] have nothing but respect for each other, but it took a while to get to that point,” he says. “I came from a world of sports. I’m used to having altercations on the sporting field, and then afterwards you shake hands and have a beer. You know what I’m saying? I felt the need to not gloss over that.” Don’t miss this rare peek into a daytime legend, on sale now.
