Surviving Cissy: Family Affair's Kathy Garver

Kathy Garver, teen 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 TV icon.  Although best remembered for her co-starring role as "Cissy" in the CBS primetime television hit, "Family Affair", Kathy Garver has also garnered critical acclaim in movies, stage and voice-over animation. She is a UCLA graduate, attended London’s prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, and has proven her talents for comedy and drama with starring roles in My Fair Lady, Sunday in New York, and A Midsummer Night's Dream. She lives in San Francisco, where she gives classes on audiobook narration when she’s not recording an audiobook or a voice-over.  Her new memoir "Surviving Cissy: My Family Affair of Life in Hollywood" is a recollection of a working actress’s experiences, from the many films, television, 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.  Its a fun read! You can get it at Amazon or at Kathy's website: www.kathygarver.com
