Description
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.

Advance Praise
There are very few former child stars lucky enough to continue working in Hollywood into their adult years. Kathy is one of those, but luck had nothing to do with it. She could have called this book Surviving Cissy: The Art of Reinvention because in it, she proves that she is a master of that craft. And she's gathered experience and friends with each surprising twist and turn her life has taken. -- actor Jon Provost
“Kathy is a surviving member of the fraternity of child actors who has maintained a working relationship with the entertainment industry. Her knowledge and stories about television in the 60’s as well as her experience in the todays business makes for a unique insight into both the industry and her life in it.” —Tony Dow, Wally Cleaver on Leave It To Beaver
“Kathy’s book tells the story of a true Hollywood survivor. For those who’ve often wondered how some of us survived the cold, indifferent, roller-coaster world of show business and Hollywood, this book will illuminate that process and answer that question. Kathy’s book is fun easy read and is full of great stories for fans and non-fans alike.” —Stanley Livingston, Chip Douglas on My Three Sons
