The legendary star of Wall Street, Romancing the Stone and Basic Instinct comes to Chicago to tell the remarkable story of his life for the very first time.
A boy growing up in the shadow of a Hollywood legend. A gifted performer determined to prove he was more than a “TV actor.” A first-time producer who stunned the industry by winning an Oscar at thirty-one. A fearless creative force who became one of the world’s most celebrated movie stars.
Michael Douglas will share extraordinary behind-the-scenes stories from more than five decades at the heart of Hollywood. Featuring an unforgettable cast of legendary actors, directors and larger-than-life personalities, many of these stories have never been told before, and some are outrageously funny.
With characteristic candour and wit, he’ll revisit the films that defined an era, the creative risks that changed his career and the partnerships behind some of cinema’s most iconic moments. He’ll also reflect on family, fame, reinvention and the personal challenges that shaped the man behind the screen.
Actor, producer, husband, father, friend and two-time Academy Award winner. Join Michael Douglas in Chicago for a rare evening of unforgettable stories, Hollywood glamour and the extraordinary life of a true screen legend.
Most seats include a pre-signed copy of One Helluva Ride, provided in partnership with Seminary Co-op Bookstores and 57th Street Books. More information and tickets at howtoacademy.com/north-america-events/michael-douglas-one-helluva-ride.
