Ke Huy Quan Never Say Die

In this stunning and compulsively readable memoir, the Oscar-winning star of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, The Goonies and Everything Everywhere All At Once, Ke Huy-Quan, tells the story of his journey from Vietnamese refugee to 80s child star to the most inspiring comeback in Hollywood history. 'A triumph of storytelling' - OCEAN VUONG 'A perfect encapsulation of the American dream' - SIM LIU 'Ke has never lost his immense curiosity and heart, and this memoir has lashings of both' - CATE BLANCHETT 'Ke Huy Quan conquered Hollywood and now in Never Say Die he will conquer many hearts as well' - VIET THANH NGUYEN Ke Huy Quan's Hollywood adventure began when he was twelve years old, a mere five years after his family escaped Communist Northern Vietnam. After attending an open call audition on a whim, he was unexpectedly swept up in the wild world of filmmaking: learning to swim from Harrison Ford on the set of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom , receiving trucks full of toys from Steven Spielberg and George Lucas for his birthday, meeting Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker, and making lifelong friends on the set of The Goonies. A star of two of the biggest hit movies of the 80s, it seemed like there were no limits to Ke's rise. But just a few years later, the roles had dried up and it seemed like Hollywood no longer had a place for him. It wasn't until decades later, when he was 49 years old, that he stepped back in front of the camera to star in a strange little indie film called Everything Everywhere All at Once , which surprised everyone when it became one of the biggest movies of the year. Never Say Die is the story of Ke's extraordinary life, a love letter to the movies and people that shaped him, and a powerful testament to never giving up on your dreams.
