Happy publication to my amazing papa, @officialrusstamblyn who is publishing his first book today at 89 years old. Don’t ever say you’re too old to accomplish one of your life-long dreams. So proud of you, dad. These stories about your life as an artist are unparalleled: sharing the screen with Elizabeth Taylor, teaching Elvis Presley some of his most famous dance moves, and smuggling Paul Newman off the MGM lot in the trunk of your car. And that’s just the first three chapters.
Extra big shoutout to his co-writer, the brilliant Sarah Tomlinson, and Blackstone Publishing. Link in my bio to order your copy today! #RussTamblyn

It’s publication day today for our incredible book. I’ve got my lipstick on. My Jack Hirschman pin on. My favorite glasses on. I’m feeling all the feels, as the kids say.
I wrote this book alongside brilliant women doctors, journalists, artists and healers because I believe our intuition—the connection between what our bodies can tell us and our minds can compel us—is the most vital tool we have to fight with in a world that continues to wage war against the feminine. The war is against our bodies. It is against our rights. Our stories. Our emotional intelligence. Our softness. Men are also survivors of this war. They too have been taught and conditioned to be disconnected from these same qualities and intelligences.
My hope is that this next generation of young girls, boys, and non-binary kids won’t have to grow up disconnected and distrustful of their bodies and what their interior lives can teach them. This book offers a way out of the numbness; a re-sensitizing of what we feel, how we feel it, and what that feeling can provide for our lives and the lives of the people we love. In these pages you will find a practical and applicable guide to nurturing your own unique intuitive process, bringing you one step closer, one stride deeper, to everything you were ever meant to become.
The book is available as of today everywhere where books are sold in the U.S. and Canada, as well as available on audiobook. Get yourself a copy and take in what your body can hear and your mind can achieve when you’re wide open, listening in the dark.

“I grew up in Southern California in an apartment building complex where I’d often spend evenings around a communal bonfire listening to my father, the artist, and acrobatic dancer, Russ Tamblyn, tell stories about the heydays of Hollywood. My dad starred in everything from the original West Side Story, to David Lynch’s Twin Peaks, rubbed elbows with the likes of Fred Astaire and Henry Miller, and is a beloved culture icon of sorts. You could hear a pin drop – or just the sounds of the crackling fire and my father’s voice – as neighbors and friends alike leaned in to listen closely to his stories of the adventures from his youth. There was the time he received his best friend, the actor Dennis Hopper, in bad shape over the border of Mexico in an ambulance. Or the time he picked up a strange hitchhiker who turned out to be Charles Manson, and his harem of women in Topanga. Or the time he helped Elvis Presley with some dance moves for “Jailhouse Rock.” Or the time his other best friend, the songwriter Neil Young, wrote one of his most famous songs in the backseat of dad’s car on a road trip. Or the time dad turned down that lead role in “Gilligan’s Island.” Or the second time he met the Queen of England. Those stories are just a fraction of his life, and what he writes about in his new memoir, Dancing on the Edge: A Journey of Living, Loving, and Tumbling Through Hollywood. At 89 years old, I like to think it’s a pretty amazing feat, to have come this far, literally and professionally; to have lived for so long, and so hard, and so good, as my dad has, and get to publish a book about it—his first book!— in his golden years. May we all be so fortunate. (Especially the living part.) For The Bare Magazine, I sat down with my dad in my backyard in Brooklyn, New York during his recent press tour for the book to talk about some of his favorite memories from growing up in Hollywood, thinking about life’s biggest regrets at the end of the road, and of course, the essential products he can’t live without (spoiler alert: one of them is a cologne he has worn since I was born, and still wears to this day.)” — @amberrosetamblyn @officialrusstamblyn ♥️ #linkinbio

Welcome to Listening in the Dark: A Place to be Heard, exclusively on @SubstackInc. We are all about creative-minded community and cultural catharsis, full of feminism (of course) and always algorithm-free.
If you’re not familiar with Substack, it’s where some of the most important, inspiring, and illuminating writing and creative work is being done today—from Suleika Jaouad’s The Isolation Journals, to Heather Cox Richardson’s Letters from an American, to Roxane Gay’s The Audacity.
If you’re like me, these have been some lonesome, disconnected years, made all the more fractured by a worldwide pandemic, a toxic political climate, and social media algorithms which dictate our ability to authentically interact with one another. Listening in the Dark on Substack will aim to gather us together with purpose to combat all of that. I want you to pick up your phone and open an app and feel GOOD for once. Not numb, not riddled with anxiety, not to compare yourself to others. This will be a community where what we feel and think and do is valued and heard.
At Listening in the Dark on Substack, you’ll find anything and everything you
might need to feel inspired for 2023 and beyond: exclusive writing, from poetry to cultural criticism and political commentary, to writing workshops, virtual fireside conversations together, and behind-the-scenes stories from my time on the road, whether from a book tour or a TV show set. I want you there with me, every step of the way.
Head over to AmberTamblyn.Substack.com (link in bio) and become a member of our community today. I can’t wait to see you there.
