Glenn, I saw your post on FB and thought I should reach out. I, too, was a child performer. I started at the age of 8 in 1966. By 1969, I was performing on Broadway with the likes of Henry Fonda, Robert Ryan, and others. In 2021, I finally got around to writing my autobiography. ("My Name Is Buddy") tells about my journey in the business and how it affected the course of my adult life. BTW..I also worked with Chita in 1973 in the Milliken Breakfast Show at The Waldorf Astoria. I would love to chat sometime. It seems like your son is on a similar trajectory. The business today is much different for young people than it was back in the 60's & 70's. I'm still active even at 66, mostly Theater, but I'll be doing a movie in May here in NC that might trigger a comeback.

Thanks for commenting Steve. I would enjoy an opportunity to talk.
Let me know what the best way to reach you is. You can send me an email if that works.
What a special story! Love hearing it, love even more that you captured it!
It has long been one of my favorite stories from that crazy crazy time!
