ATTICA! ATTICA! ATTICA! –

Oct. 9, 2024 –  “I started to forget things at a very young age,” Pacino explained. “They called them blackouts, so I got nervous.”

The actor’s road to sobriety was long and curved, though. “I went to AA for a while.  “I was, I was, you know, reluctant to stop, but my great friend Charlie Laughton…he was a real influence over me because he was my mentor, my closest friend,” Pacino told King. “Really, begged me to stop for a while. Just to take a look at it and ask me, ‘cause he had stopped for about a year and I was continuing and he was quite worried about me.”
