Diana Serra Cary's well-wrought, empathetic narrative presents the underside of the glittering stage and screen world: frightened children, merchants who buy and sell childhood as a commodity, rapacious stage mothers and fathers whose ambition and avarice make them willing to sacrifice their children to fulfill their own dreams. The first part of the book mines a lode of new information, recounting stories of the precursors to Hollywood's child stars (and their ambitious parents) - the spectacular 1853 stage debut of four-year-old Cordelia Howard, the rise of red-haired Lotta Crabtree in California's Gold Rush camps, and the travails and triumphs of the hoydenish Elsie Janis as she ad-libbed her way to stardom. Cary - as "Baby Peggy", Hollywood's pioneer child star, the youngest in theatrical history - has lived her subject, surviving a childhood filled with an enormous workload, some real physical danger, and emotional trauma. She weaves her own story of being her family's chief breadwinner with similar tales involving famous movie children she knew and worked with - Jackie Coogan, Shirley Temple, Mickey Rooney, and Judy Garland, among many others.

Living in the shadow of a famous parent can have powerful effects, from professional opportunities to pressure so great it leads to suicide. Some children of stars are proud of their roots while others live in secrecy. This is a rare look into the private lives of the children (and, in a few cases, grandchildren) of these classic Hollywood icons, revealing the stresses and inspirations of living with great performers who may or may not have been great parents. Some movie stars protected their offspring, but others used them as publicity props or even made them into rivals. Despite their unusual upbringing, some of the children succeeded in the movies or elsewhere, but many never lived up to the public expectations. Many lost their parents, whether to the extremes of the celebrity lifestyle, to divorce, or to their careers. From the beautiful bedtime stories Harpo Marx and his wife told their four adopted children to explain where they'd come from, to the studded belt Bing Crosby used to punish his sons for not obeying the strict family rules, this work tells the best and worst of growing up in a celebrity home. Families covered include those of W.C. Fields, the Marx Brothers, Eddie Cantor, Mario Lanza, Ruth Hussey, Jerry Lewis, Douglas Fairbanks and Boris Karloff. Research is drawn from interviews with celebrity offspring, who also provided never-before-published snapshots of Hollywood legends at home.

Being the child of a celebrity is a strange, but wonderful experience, and STAR BABIES explores this glamorous and sometimes tragic world. It's all here in this book: the fabulous birthday parties, the "limosine treatment" to school, the lemonade stand set up and supplied by the butler, the Christmas sprees to clean out the toy department. And behind this facade is a history of family trees shattered by the worlds, "Your father and I are going to get a divorce," strings of schools, and adventures with drugs and sex. Shared is a blind adoration for a famous parent, tempered by desperate craving for love and attention. These children were the first generation to plant before the moviegoing public the image of Hollywood as a family town. Maternity became marketable, and photos of stars with their wholesome families were worth their weight in gold. Image! In Hollywood, it is everything. Extraordinary in their candor and diversity, these stories reveal all of their dreams—and the delusions—that money can buy. No moviegoer should be without this intimate and unique portrait of life behind the silver screen. Includes the children of: Mario Lanza, Judy Garland and Sid Luft, Pat Boone, Tom Mix, Dorothy Lamour, David O. Selznick, Lou Costello, Jack Albertson, Lloyd Bridges, Gordon and Sheila MacRae, Jose Ferrer and Rosemary Clooney.

Not many Glaswegian schoolgirls have grown up to become revolutionary heroes of distant, eastern nations but Muriel Stewart Walker did just that. Under a multitude of different names – ‘K’tut Tantri’ and ‘Surabaya Sue’ being the best known – this Scottish-born, self-proclaimed Hollywood scriptwriter joined in the struggle for Indonesian independence after the Second World War and broadcast its revolutionary message to the world on Rebel Radio. But she did more and smuggled arms, and probably drugs, to help finance the new Republic and experienced bloody battle in the November 1945 British attack on Surabaya that some have seen as a war crime. She went on to become an intimate of the revolutionary leaders, Bung Tomo and Soekarno among them, and finally lived to see Indonesia take its place amongst the free nations of the world. Surabaya Sue is virtually unknown in the West and, even in Indonesia, there have always been doubts about her version of events that many have dismissed outright as a blatant mixture of outrageous fantasy and dishonest omissions. Snow over Surabaya happily embraces those doubts and brings a new, spirited account of her adventures in that tempestuous world.

Table of Contents Introduction Are Eating Disorders Related to Age Groups? Do I take him to a doctor or not? The Body Image Problem Fat is necessary for you The Body Mass Index Scare Is It Anorexia Nervosa or Is It Just That He Does Not Want to Eat Much? You Are Eating Too Much! Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction A friend of mine asked me why I wanted to write a book on how parents could manage the eating disorders in teenage concerns and the different teenager health concerns, especially when a child stops eating. She wanted to know whether I was speaking from real life, and experiences which I had seen in my own family, and I told her that I was lucky that anorexia and bulimia never were thought of, in matters of eating, especially when the teenagers knew that the family members were all hearty eaters, and eating disorders was something up with which the elders would not put, physically, mentally, and even psychologically! But then you are going to be surprised to know that 3% of the parents, especially in European countries, – France predominant - where everybody is very particular about the latest psychological trend of body image, their children suffer from bulimia and anorexia. Princess Di suffered from it, because subconsciously she had reached a stage of what is the use of my being a princess, when my husband could not care less about me. You may not believe it, but this is the reason why a large number of women out there subconsciously have a death wish, just because they have lost someone near and dear, emotionally, physically, and even spiritually. That is why a number of parents may not believe it or not, but more than 2% of adolescents suffer from some sort of eating disorder, which is called anorexia or bulimia. So as a concerned parent, how are you going to manage a child not eating at all, a child deciding that he does not want to eat anything, a child who has stopped eating a healthy, nourishing diet or any other factor, which prevents a growing child from eating a healthy diet and growing up into an physically, mentally and emotionally strong adult who is healthy, strong, fit, and has no eating disorders at all. But you are going to say, hey, what is this, I can understand a child suffering physically. If he is starving himself, but what has “mentally and emotionally” to do with a child’s health, especially when he is not eating properly?

Children have been a part of the cinematic landscape since the silent film era, yet children are rarely a part of the theoretical landscape of film analysis. Lost and Othered Children in Contemporary Cinema, edited by Debbie C. Olson and Andrew Scahill, seeks to remedy that oversight. Throughout the over one-hundred year history of cinema, the image of the child has been inextricably bound to filmic storytelling and has been equally bound to notions of romantic innocence and purity. This collection reveals, however, that there is a body of work that provides a counter note of darkness to the traditional portraits of sweetness and light. Particularly since the mid-twentieth century, there are a growing number of cinematic works that depict childhood has as a site of knowingness, despair, sexuality, death, and madness. Lost and Othered Children in Contemporary Cinema challenges notions of the innocent child through an exploration of the dark side of childhood in contemporary cinema. The contributors to this multidisciplinary study offer a global perspective that explores the multiple conditions of marginalized childhood as cinematically imagined within political, geographical, sociological, and cultural contexts.
