Eddie Murphy Comes Clean. It’s Talent Night, July 9, 1. Roosevelt Youth Center on Long Island.

RTÉ2 is a free-to-air general entertainment channel operated by Irish national broadcaster Raidió Teilifís Éireann. It is available to 98% of viewers across the.

The evening is hot, the crowd rowdy. A skinny black kid in a loud green jacket and matching fat necktie steps onstage to do his impersonation of soul singer Al Green. Two hundred neighborhood kids eye his getup and howl.

Eddie Murphy, 1. 5, is terrified, despite the crowd’s reaction. He has never faced an audience alone before, yet has longed to with a passion that borders on the peculiar. While other kids in Roosevelt whiled away afternoons in the park emulating a local- boy- made- good named Julius Erving, Murphy spent hours in his basement, impersonating Elvis Presley, Lionel Richie and Bill Cosby. His parents were puzzled. His brother Charlie thought he was nuts. Eddie Murphy thought he was on to something. Climbing into other people’s skins mesmerized him even more than the driving rhythm and blues that he sang in his neighborhood band.

Comedy was like riding the shopping carts he and a buddy swiped from the A& P to haul their band equipment. He climbed inside, someone pushed, and off he went on a jolting joy ride, all the more exhilarating for its danger. As the Youth Center crowd hooted, Murphy closed his eyes, spread his arms and let go—riding Al Green’s smooth soul gestures for all they were worth. Green pushed and Eddie Murphy rode, and when Murphy opened his eyes again, he was on Saturday Night Live, a bundle of energy doing James Brown in a hot tub. Barely 4. 8 Hours later, he was a movie star, then a Beverly Hills Cop, then a Golden Child. He made a career flying from one character or impersonation to the next—Stevie Wonder, Elvis, Gumby—until, eventually, it began to seem easier and more fun to do Someone Else than do the Real Eddie Murphy.

But that’s begun to change. Murphy’s soaring success—with seven movies in less than six years grossing more than a billion dollars—brought problems that were Murphy’s alone. Problems with money, with women, with fame. Watching his idol, Richard Pryor, a few years earlier, he’d understood that “one of the disadvantages of doing standup comedy is that you gotta open up and expose yourself,” says Murphy.

That’s what a true comedian does.” It was time for the mimic to concentrate on one character, Eddie Murphy. The first result was a 1. Raw. Battered by business problems, hostile press, a paternity suit and a relationship gone bad, Murphy let his bitterness and disappointment hang out, offending women, gays and many of his fellow black entertainers in the process. His new film, Coming to America—in which Murphy plays an African prince who journeys to the U. S. to find a bride who loves him for who he is and not what he has—also reflects Murphy’s struggle to cope with the demands of fame and fortune and the isolation that comes with it. But America’s Murphy is more mature, introspective and optimistic. And, just to show he hasn’t lost the touch, he also plays three of the character roles: Clarence, an argumentative barber; Randy, a smarmy fundamentalist soul singer; and Saul, an elderly Jewish man.“I’m back on the right track now as an actor,” says Murphy.

For three years I did movies that made a lot of money, and it was like, ‘Okay, we got the formula.’ But I’m 2. I have to grow. I can’t spend the rest of my life screaming and hollering.”He may have to spend the rest of his life worrying about how to manage a considerable personal fortune, now estimated to be well into eight figures. There’s this big misconception about being famous and rich. More about being rich,” says Murphy, whose nickname in Hollywood is “Money.” “The misconception is that once you have money, you’re straight. But you can have financial problems and everything else, only on a much grander scale. If anything, worrying about keeping it is as much of a headache as worrying how to pay the bills.”His Windex tab alone must be terrific.

His Englewood, N. J., home, a 3. 5- acre spread called Bubble Hill (bubble is street slang for party) is polished to a spit shine, from gleaming marble floors to brass- trimmed fireplace. A blue Rolls- Royce convertible is parked out front. Yet the house’s ambience is understated and comfortable, a far cry from the campy opulence of Coming to America’s Zamunda, the fictional African nation where Murphy’s Prince Akeem is pampered by royal tooth- brushers and palace wipers who handle toilet duty. There are no servants, entourage or wayward women scurrying around Bubble Hill this Friday evening, and the prince has fetched his own soda from the fridge.“I have problems like anybody else,” says Murphy, who is soft- spoken and easygoing at close range. In fact I have more because I have this strange existence.

It’s funny. When I sit back with people like Stallone, we can trade stories. It’s like the same identical things happen: the way power isolates you, and everybody tries to get close to you, and the weight of being the patriarch in your family. It’s just a bunch of stuff.”He’s still recovering from a tear in his jaw muscle suffered last May when overzealous fans crashed into a boat carrying Murphy and a few friends in the Bahamas. Incidents like those only serve to drive Murphy deeper into the kind of seclusion where paranoia breeds easily, though he seems determined to lead as normal a life as possible and to refute the wild comparisons to a beleaguered, drugged- up Elvis. Once fond of giving reporters the walking tour of his home, he stopped the practice—and virtually stopped talking to reporters—after an Interview magazine profile last year. I was raped,” says Murphy of the article, which took a lot of psychological liberties in talking about the Elvis portrait in Murphy’s bedroom.

The guy came to my house, and he was the nicest guy in the world, then he tore me up.”The prima donna flag went up, and Murphy hunkered down with his considerable family and his old friends from Long Island. The problem I have with the press is that I’m not very humble in their eyes,” he says. But what made me successful was my boldness.

That’s part of my humor. That’s part of my character.”It didn’t help his image when rumors began to circulate about Murphy or his associates combing nightclubs for pretty women willing to spend a night with a star. One woman who claims to have spent the night with Murphy after being approached by him in an L. A. club—she asked that her name not be used—says that the comedian was low- key and attentive, although he did say, at one point, “You’re going to remember this night for the rest of your life, your fantasy come true.” Says the woman: “He’s not a bad guy at all. I think he’s just confused about what he has to prove.”But Murphy, who doesn’t drink or do drugs, claims he has outgrown the urge to play musical beds. When I first got in the public eye, when I was like 1. I raised much hell,” he laughs, sitting in his living room.

But I wasn’t much of a party animal after I met Lisa [Figueroa]. And now, everyone’s going ‘Oh, Murphy, he’s a womanizer…’ ”In fact, it was the breakup with Figueroa, then a biology student at Adelphi University who spoke her own mind, that seemed to set Murphy on the path of self- examination. She’s great for me,” he told a reporter in 1. If a woman lets me dominate her, I get bored real fast.” But within a year, the relationship had died a familiar death, says his best friend and America co- star Arsenio Hall. On the first date Eddie will say, ‘Oh, man! Isn’t she wonderful? That’s the next Miz Murphy!’ ” Hall says.

He wants Cinderella so bad. But] you can start off with the sweetest, nicest girl in the world, and then she gets caught up in being Eddie’s woman.

I’ve seen some of them take bows in clubs all on their own.”That was pretty much what happened to Figueroa, according to Hall. I saw her change under the pressure,” he says.

She began to think she was Eddie. The one person he really loved broke his heart.
