Oscar winner Melissa Leo to write tell all book

Melissa Leo, 50, who won an Oscar this year for her work as Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale‘s mother in The Fighter, is writing a memoir that promises to be revealing. Publisher Simon & Schuster says the book will cover Leo’s decades of working in both television and film, as well as her childhood and her stormy relationship with ex-boyfriend actor John Heard, who is also the father of her 24-year-old son, Jack. In 1997 Heard was charged with stalking Leo, Jack and her new boyfriend, and with harrassing her by phone. The autobiography is slated for release in 2013. ~Alexandra Heilbron
