| Author Notes: | One of the original latchkey kids of the 1970s, Knoxville native Fred Ascher's love of television--and appreciation of the child stars who formed the foundation of so many shows--only grew after he graduated from the University of Tennessee and settled in Southern California. Like so many kids growing up during the '70s, a time when Mom joined Dad in the workforce during the afternoons, Fred found solace in reruns of time-proven sitcoms and family dramas. For many years after college, Fred worked in the cruise industry before becoming a successful fundraiser at two of the world's most prestigious cancer hospitals. Today, Fred is a publicist who represents a number of celebrities while also working to develop talented young people into industry professionals. Writing X Child Stars with Kathy Garver is the culmination of a lifetime working with important people for important causes. Fred sees our child stars as an integral part of our nation's tapestry, no less so than other cultural milestones. "They are our national treasures," he says, "and with X Child Stars, Kathy and I show the reader why this is true." |
