Book Description
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.

Star Children
Author: Georg Kühlewind
Publisher: Temple Lodge Publishing
ISBN: 9781902636498
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 164
Book Description
"While working on this book the following happened to me: As I checked in at the airport in Hamburg a young couple was in front of me, and the mother had a three-to-four-month old baby in her arms. All of a sudden, the baby turned round, looked me straight in the eye, and I was deeply shaken; for that was not the look of a baby but of a very self-aware adult, a wise one, and he appeared to see right through me" (Georg Kühlewind). Who are the star children? In recent years, much has been written about "gifted" children with special abilities, sometimes called "indigo children" or "crystal children." It is said that these children are coming to earth to help humanity in its development. Based on extensive research, Georg Kühlewind confirms that this new generation has been incarnating among us for the past couple of decades. This event, he states, is one of the most important of our age. Unlike many other contributors to this discussion, Kühlewind gives us the necessary background to follow experientially what he has to say. He takes us consciously and scientifically into the realm from which we all enter the world as babies, "trailing clouds of glory." We all possess the tools he describes for taking this path: our thoughts, our heart forces, and our willpower. By using these faculties with full attention--by focusing our attentiveness and eliminating everything else--we can enter the realm of the spirit where the prevailing laws are different from those on Earth. The author helps us by closing each chapter with themes for contemplation and meditation. Star Children is a compelling addition to the literature on the theme of "special children," offering a unique perspective based on Spiritual Science and research.

Catch a Falling Star
Author: Meg McKinlay
Publisher: Walker Books Australia
ISBN: 1925381498
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
This coming-of-age story by multiple-award-winner Meg McKinlay is about loss and grief, dealing with change and fighting to hold on to what you can, while letting go of what you can’t. It’s 1979 and the sky is falling. Skylab, that is. Somewhere high above Frankie Avery, one of the world’s first space stations is tumbling to Earth. And rushing back with it are old memories. Things twelve-year-old Frankie thought she’d forgotten. Things her mum won’t talk about, and which her little brother Newt never knew. Only ... did he? Does he? Because as Skylab circles closer, Newt starts acting strangely. And while the world watches the sky, Frankie keeps her own eyes on Newt. Because if anyone’s going to keep him safe, it’s her. It always has been. But maybe this is something bigger than splinters and spiders and sleepwalking. Maybe a space station isn’t the only thing heading straight for calamity.
