"Kelly is so piercingly honest, you just want to reach out and give her a hug...It’s totally gripping: I couldn’t take my earbuds out." —Vulture

“A timely, urgent portrait of working-class American women.”
—Gabrielle Union
Minka Kelly takes listeners behind the shiny silver-screen facade and reveals just how good an actress she really is.
Fans know her as the spoiled, rich cheerleader Lyla Garrity on Friday Night Lights or as the affluent, mysterious Samantha on the HBO megahit Euphoria. But as revealed for the first time in these pages, Minka Kelly’s life has been anything but easy.
Raised by a single mother who worked as a stripper and struggled with addiction, Minka spent years waking up in strange apartments as she and her mom bounced around the country, relying on friends and relatives to take them in. At times they even lived in storage units. She reconnected with her father, Aerosmith’s Rick Dufay, and eventually made her way to Los Angeles, where she landed the role of a lifetime on Friday Night Lights.
Now an established actress and philanthropist, Minka takes this next step in her career as a writer. She has poured her soul into this audiobook, which ultimately tells a story of triumph over adversity, and how resilience and love are all we have in the end.
A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt & Company.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Remarkably raw and utterly candid, Minka Kelly’s memoir explores the effect her difficult upbringing has had on her life. The Titans actress details a childhood spent bouncing from one home to another with her addict mother, enduring abuse and mistreatment from the men who came in and out of their lives. Kelly openly discusses the physical, emotional, and sexual abuse she suffered, as well as the trauma of a childhood spent in strip clubs (including a stint working at a peep show as a teenager). Fascinatingly, Kelly’s experiences also offer her a unique lens through which she can now view some of her most unfortunate Hollywood stories, like a creepy interaction with Harvey Weinstein and her toxic affair with Friday Night Lights co-star Taylor Kitsch. Her measured narration underscores the conflicts with her past she still carries, but ultimately, Tell Me Everything is a refreshingly honest listen about coming to terms with trauma.
