Tom Selleck’s memoir opens dramatically with a scene from his youth: a car crash on Mulholland Drive in Los Angeles. At just 17 years old, he finds himself in the passenger seat of his mom’s red Chevy Corvair, hurtling through the air with two friends. Though everyone ultimately emerges unscathed, the experience leaves an indelible mark.
Acknowledging the unconventional start, the iconic star of “Magnum, P.I.” and “Blue Bloods” reflects, “It felt like the perfect entry point to revisit my past, tracing my journey from childhood through this pivotal moment and its aftermath.”
In “You Never Know,” Selleck invites readers on a captivating journey through his formative years at the University of Southern California, his time in the Army, his stint as bachelor No. 2 on “The Dating Game,” and his early forays into acting, including small roles and commercials. Ultimately, the memoir traces his rise to fame, culminating in his Emmy-winning portrayal of Thomas Magnum.
