With an affecting voice, she reveals the highs and lows of an explosive career, the nightmare of addiction, and the heartbreak of AIDS: caring for a loved one who is dying, combating rumors that are almost as corrosive as the disease, and keeping the most important element of your life a secret. He soon discovered that behind the red ribbons of Hollywood was an unforgiving world, and recognized the irony of what he had to do to survive as an actor: he had to live a lie. Filled with hope after defeating the alcohol and drug addiction that almost destroyed his career, he was then devastated to learn, in 1985, that he was HIV-positive. Susan Bluestein Davis, Brad's wife and partner for twenty years, is keenly aware of the realities of today's Hollywood that demand this heart-wrenching story be told. A startling take on the entertainment world, After Midnight is also a powerful chronicle of Susan and Brad's enduring love, the kind that provides comfort and hope against great challenges.. Brad Davis lived a life that mirrored the intensity of his star-making performance in the film Midnight Express
Markova Falayfay said Brad Davis one of our finest actors.. Excellent book. Awesome story.. Annoyed I wanted to read this book because of the impact of 'Midnight Express" and was curious as to why he then had such a sparse career. Now I know. His tragically short life is sad, as it is for anyonebut I couldn't get past being annoyed by how careless he was with the people in his life and careless about his career. He was good, then he seemed to blow it with bad behavior. I know there are reasons for it, but I could only feel sorry to a point. A lot of my annoyance was the "name dropping"Susan's reference to would-be stars "then" and informing us as to who they have become as if we the public would not kn. "Five Stars" according to Marcia E Linder. Good book
