Family Affair Scrapbook

Memory Lane was never so personal and vibrant as in Kathy "Cissy" Garver's Family Affair Scrapbook. Each page is a pictorial feast for fans of the show and lovers of nostalgia. Family Affair was a breakthrough show depicting a successful bachelor uncle who takes on the raising of his brother's orphan children, Cissy, Buffy, and Jody. This is not the life his Gentleman's Gentleman, the Stodgy Mr. French signed up for, but after many adventures and life lessons learned, they become one of television's all-time favorite families. You will see many notable guest stars, including familiar children's faces, many of whom grew up to have major careers. 1966-1971 was a significant time in TV history as the Country strived to hold on to its innocence. The beloved Davis Family made it that much easier for us to believe that we could solve even the greatest problems with love, understanding, and in less than thirty minutes.
Kathy "Cissy" Garver shares behind-the-scenes memories of her time as a teen idol on this iconic series. This was a time of many firsts. Family Affair was one of the first shows to air in full color from the start as reflected in the opening kaleidoscope. It was also one of the first shows to be licensed for merchandise and memorabilia. Most young girls at the time had to have their own Mrs. Beasley doll lovingly provided by Mattel. There were coloring books, color forms, and books and the Family Affair Scrapbook contains photographs of it all. These items, mostly belonging to Kathy Garver's personal collection will be featured in a museum retrospective.
Old and new fans of the show still shown in syndication will love this book. TV Classics fans will also love the retro images reflective of the times. With a bit of TV history thrown in, this book is a must-have for any television fan.
