'He Wanted His Family to Know': Eric Dane’s Posthumous Memoir Announced

Eric Dane completed his memoir reflecting on his life, career, and ALS diagnosis before his death; it will be published by Maria Shriver's imprint on Nov. 3.

  • On Nov. 3, The Open Field will publish Eric Dane's posthumous memoir My Book of Days, with Penguin Random House distributing it.
  • Eric Dane, late actor, finished his manuscript shortly before his death and chose to publish so his daughters and readers would have his words.
  • Dane urged readers to `Live now, right now, in the present` and filmed a final Netflix interview addressing his daughters. The release said he discussed fighting with dignity.
  • Immediate effects included fundraising and renewed attention to ALS as friends and supporters set up a GoFundMe to assist the Dane family's two daughters, while Hollywood colleagues mourned publicly and the family requested privacy.
  • Seen broadly, the memoir is described as a meditation on time and a generous offering to honor days that matter most, reflecting on life and future days after death, as Dane wished. The release states it will help readers understand ALS and encourage compassion.
