Robert Downey Jr. postpones memoir
NEW YORK (AP) - July 22, 2008 Britney Ross of Rogers & Cowan declined to say Tuesday why
Downey wouldn't be writing the book, originally scheduled to come
out this year. HarperCollins had billed it as a "candid look at
the highs and lows of his life and career" when the publisher
announced the project two years ago.
Downey, 43, has struggled often with drug abuse, but has also
received much acclaim for his acting, including an Academy Award
nomination for his starring role in "Chaplin" and strong reviews
for his title performance in "Iron Man," one of this year's
biggest hits. He next will be seen in "Tropic Thunder," along
with Ben Stiller and Jack Black.
