I'll Be Damned

For nearly four decades, fans have come to know and love the suave Victor Newman from The Young and the Restless. Yet few truly know the man behind the character, the supremely talented Eric Braeden. I'll Be Damned is the story of Eric’s life—a startling and uplifting tale of war, deprivation, determination, fame, and social commitment that spans from Nazi Germany to modern Hollywood. Braeden’s journey has taught him more about joy, heartbreak, fear, dignity, loss, love, loneliness, exhilaration, courage, persecution, and profound responsibility to the global community than he could have hoped to learn in several lifetimes.

Growing up in the years after Germany’s defeat in World War II, Braeden knew very little about the atrocities of his parents’ generation until he arrived in America—a discovery that horrified and transformed him. Trying to redress the wrongs of his homeland, he has dedicated his life to humanitarian causes, working to show the world that what we share as humans is far more important than what separates us.

Told with openness, humor, heart, and raw vulnerability, I’ll Be Damned reveals a man committed to making the world a better, more loving place, and is an inspiring testament to the goodness within us all.
