Al Pacino reflects on life and career in new autobiography Sonny Boy

Al Pacino's new autobiography, "Sonny Boy," offers a reflective look at his life, from his challenging childhood in the Bronx to his rise in theater and film. Unlike many celebrity memoirs, it avoids scandal and gossip, focusing instead on personal growth and relationships. Pacino shares stories from his career, including iconic roles in "The Godfather" and "Scarface," while also discussing his struggles with alcohol. He emphasizes the importance of mentorship and acknowledges the impact of his family dynamics on his life choices. At 84, Pacino reflects on aging and the value of memories, expressing gratitude for those who have supported him. The book, co-written with Dave Itzkoff, presents a candid and introspective journey rather than a typical celebrity tell-all.
