Beverly Washburn was one of Hollywood's most familiar child actors
during the 1950s and '60s, a consummate performer who excelled at
both comedy and drama with equal ease. Renowned for her uncanny
ability to cry on cue, she appeared in countless television shows
during the medium's Golden Age, and many of the era's best-loved
movies, including Walt Disney's Old Yeller, The Greatest Show on
Earth, Shane, and Spider Baby, just to name a few. Beverly made her
first movie at age 6, and quickly found her niche. Over the years,
her circle of friends included some of the biggest names in movies
and television, many of whom she "dated" in the pages of the fan
magazines-and in real life. But Beverly's fame went far beyond the
silver screen. In the 1960s, for example, she even cut a hit
record-"Everybody Loves Saturday Night"-written by the legendary
folk artist Pete Seeger. In this heartfelt and deeply revealing
autobiography, Beverly talks from the soul about her astounding
career as a child actress, and the difficulties she encountered as
she became a teenager and then an adult. She also reflects back on
her most famous movies, with many behind-the-scenes anecdotes never
before revealed, and discusses her enduring friendships with some
of entertainment's most prominent performers, including Jack Benny,
Loretta Young, Lou Costello, and George Reeves.
