Surviving Cissy: My Family Affair of Life in Hollywood

By Kathy Garver

Book Overview

Kathy Garver, the teenage heartthrob from the hit series Family Affair (1966-1971), was no one-hit wonder, but a journeywoman actress who appeared in such classic films as Night of the Hunter and The Ten Commandments long before she became a television icon.

This memoir is a recollection of a working actress's experiences, from the many films, television shows, and stage plays in which she performed, to her second career as a voice-over specialist in popular animated films and audiobooks. Featuring anecdotes, Hollywood history, and details of her relationships with such stars as Charlton Heston and Jon Provost, Surviving Cissy is a veritable quilt of Kathy's exciting life.

Customer Reviews

Good view of backstory for popular tv show of 1960s

Told a lot of interesting details concerning the show, "Family Affair". It was a little "sanitized" for my tastes, but still provided a good read.
