She had a recurring role on The Patty Duke Show and then came the show that would make her a star - Family Affair. She played Cissy alongside Brian Keith, Sebastian Cabot, Annisa Jones and Johnny Whitaker. Kathy takes us behind the scenes and shares stories of the happy set and the tragedies that struck the cast after the camera stopped rolling. Kathy is still in demand in Hollywood and busier than ever. She opens up about her two current film roles and her next project - plus where is Mrs Beasley - Kathy shares that story.

    I can say that when I met Charlton Heston in person when I was 11 years old. He was the nicest, most polite person I had ever met. I was with my parents on top of a hotel in Las Vegas and we were people watching. There was a mini-golf up on the roof and Mr. Heston was there playing with his family. Like a thoughtless kid. I ran up to him and interrupted him with his family to talk to him. He stopped, talked with me. This was in the early 1970s and I had watched planet of the apes and the omega man and told him how much I liked them. What a great guy and a wonderful memory.

      @@debbiem6406 love this memory Debbie. I'd heard that Shelley Winters, while a talented star, was very tricky at times.

    Nice interview. Ms. Garver is financially smart and, it seems, one of those actors with the golden touch. The Rapper M.C. Lyte is also career and financially smart like Ms. Garver.
    Younger performers need to view this You Tube and read her book to learn how to survive show business while enjoying long fruitful careers.
