Eddie's Many Sides

One of the most gifted actors around, and always a bit unstable. Covering the gamit from childhood, to his biggest public scandal, everytime we think Eddie is finally "in a really good place" as he was quoted in 1996 by the author, his life seems to shipwreck again. Apparently Eddie still has some "skeletons in the closet." A possible cause for the breakup of his seemingly happy marriage and family life, well after the release of this book. The incident in West Hollywood's redlight district, on the morning of May 2, 1997 just won't go away. And after seeing recent photographs of Eddie with another well known male celebrity, causes one to question whether Eddie actually favors a certain lifestyle. Mr. Sanello's book obviously opened some doors Mr. Murphy certainly would have rather left closed. Hopeully all goes well in Mr. Murphy's life, but with Eddie, one never really knows the true story.
