Longtime actor Michael Douglasis marking a new chapter in his life. The two-time Oscar winner is set to release a memoir this fall with Grand Central Publishing.
The memoir, currently untitled, is now available for pre-sale and will be released on October 6, 2026.
“After being asked for many years, I’ve finally decided it’s time to tell my story on my own terms. Not the highlight reel, not the version shaped by headlines or box office numbers, but the real one,” Douglas told Deadline.

“I’ve lived a life that unfolded in public while being deeply private at the same time, and there’s a difference,” the Wall Street actor added. “This is about where I came from, what I fought against, and what I chose for myself. Fame can blur the truth; this is my attempt to bring it back into focus.”
In addition to Douglas’ career and philanthropic work, the memoir will also touch upon his relationship history, marriage to Catherine Zeta-Jones, his battle with stage four cancer, and his son Cameron’s struggle with drug addiction and the law.
Grand Central Publishing’s Editor-in-Chief, Coling Dickerman, praised the upcoming project, saying in a statement, “Growing up in the shadow of a Hollywood legend, navigating a risk-taking career that has spanned six decades and included films that defined our culture, privately fighting health and family battles while in the glare of the spotlight — Douglas’ life is a towering achievement in perseverance.”
