Quiet Triumphs: Alec Baldwin

An extraordinary actor with the appeal of a true movie star, Alec Baldwin has triumphed on stage and on screens big and small. One of the five brothers, Baldwin is a member of a very talented family. But family life is not without its pain, and fame is not without its price. His mother, stricken with breast cancer, survived and became one of cancer research's most vocal and visible spokespeople, a corollary to her son’s own intense political activism. And, Baldwin's relationship with actress Kim Basinger has been discussed and dissected in the tabloid press, leading to a profound loss of privacy.

Quiet Triumphs presents a tremendously personal side of celebrities as they face personal issues of challenges and adversity. The signature Odyssey Networks series is a touching, joyful, practical, sometimes funny, yet always moving acknowledgment that despite the tough times, people can move ahead and live patient, strong, and faithful lives.
