This enlightening book is the go-to guide for fans for biographical information, rare photos, and interesting trivia about their favorite child stars, shows, series, networks, and the times that defined the shows. Spanning forty years of television history, this book details both the success stories and misfortunes of many child stars. Included in this book are the stories of Anissa Jones, Buffy on Family Affair, who tragically died from a drug overdose at the age of eighteen, as well as Ron Howard, who starred in both The Andy Griffith Show and Happy Days, and who later became an Academy Award–winning director. A child star herself, Kathy Garver profiles these and other legends of classic television in a book that will answer the question: Where are they now?
Whenever I'm watching an old movie or TV show, I'm always curious about the kid actors: who they are; what else they did; and, of course, how they ended up. Thanks to X Child Stars, my head-banging days are over! No more fruitless internet searches or sleepless nights! This is a virtual encyclopedia of names from obscure to headliner. I keep it right next to my remote.
