Actor and former teen king Andrew McCarthy would rather talk about settling down. The star of such 1980s favorites as St. Elmo's Fire and Pretty in Pink has a deal with Free Press for The Longest Way Home, a memoir about settling down. The publisher announced yesterday that the book is due in the fall of 2012. The 48-year-old McCarthy is now a popular travel writer. He will write about how his journeys helped him defeat his fears of love and commitment. McCarthy is planning to marry, for a second time, this summer. (More Andrew McCarthy stories.)
