ALL THOSE MOMENTS  Rutger Hauer is an international film star who has made more than one hundred movies, playing everything from romantic leads, to action heroes, to sinister villains. His films Blade Runner, The Hitcher and Ladyhawke have made him a cult legend. But the acclaimed actor is also a fascinating Renaissance man who has led a life extraordinary enough for the big screen. In this compelling autobiography, Rutger recalls a life of grand adventure, from leaving his parents’ home at fifteen to sail the world as a crewman on a freighter, to a stint in a mental hospital to escape the Dutch military, to his long and prolific career as an actor on stage and screen. For the first time, this charismatic yet intensely private man offers a behind-the-scenes look at his life in the movie industry.

From the inner workings of cult classics and box offices smashes to the near tragedy that changed his life, he candidly shares his ups and downs.
