Alicia Keys Moonlights as a Best-Selling Author

RISE UP After you’ve spent a month conversing almost exclusively with family members, it’s a treat to hear Alicia Keys’ voice over the phone. Even more refreshingly, the 15-time Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, actress, producer, entrepreneur, and activist doesn’t play down her excitement over the success of her memoir, “More Myself.” She says, “I made it to the best-seller list and I’m ecstatic!”

Keys describes her book, currently at No. 9 on the hardcover nonfiction list, as “the honest journey of how I found my way to becoming who I am as opposed to being what I’ve been told to be.” The book begins when she’s 7 and follows her path to stardom, potholes, and all — including reflections on her father’s absence and the shame she felt, at 19, when she was manipulated into posing provocatively at her first magazine cover shoot. After that, she writes, “I swear that I will never again let someone rob me of my power.”

Working on the book was cathartic for Keys — a process she describes as “getting down recollections, thinking, realizing, uncovering, starting, stopping, ebbing and flowing.” She didn’t know her co-writer, Michelle Burford, beforehand but now, she laughs, “I know her better than anyone on the planet. I never had a better therapist.” Of the difference between putting words on a page and setting them to music, Keys says, “With any creative endeavor, you’re on the line — with people’s judgment, with your own idiosyncrasies and neuroses. You’re going to have fear. You’re going to have to overcome the fear. You’re going to have doubts. You’re going to overcome the doubt. You’re going to have anxiety. You’re going to overcome the anxiety.”

Brian Dennehy, Tony Award-Winning Actor, Dies at 81

Brian Dennehy, a versatile stage and screen actor known for action movies, comedies, and classics, but especially for his Tony Award-winning performances in “Death of a Salesman” in 1999 and “Long Day’s Journey Into Night” in 2003, died on Wednesday in New Haven, Conn. He was 81.

His agency, ICM Partners, announced his death. His agent, Brian Mann, told The Chicago Tribune that the cause was cardiac arrest resulting from sepsis. Mr. Dennehy lived in Connecticut, where he was born.

Brawny and gregarious, Mr. Dennehy was often called on to play an Everyman or an authority figure: athletes, sheriffs, bartenders, salesmen, and fathers. He was in scores of movies — “First Blood” (1982), “Gorky Park” (1983), “F/X” (1986) and “Presumed Innocent” (1990) were among them — as well as an assortment of television series. But his first love was always the stage.
