IN THE SPOTLIGHT:  Dr. Jason Kindt of the Actor Fund
Although Jason had a passion for the theater and participated in many high school productions, he quickly realized that his enthusiasm for musical theater does not make up for his lack of pitch.  So, naturally, he went to medical school.  Jason graduated from Ursinus (ER-SINUS) College in 1995 and Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1999.  
Jason is board certified in Family Medicine and worked for the Reading Health System in Hamburg, PA, where he was voted “best family practice” five years in a row, until 2013.  After that he HAD to be closer to Broadway so he moved to New York City and worked in urgent care in Manhattan, leaving him plenty of opportunity to catch all the shows in town. Jason is a theater person at heart and is very excited to work with this community.  He is a loving and caring family physician who is dedicated to helping his patients thrive in every aspect of their lives.  He joined us from his office in Times Square.

Karolyn is a former child actor, author, retired medical technician, mother, grandmother, and for years the unofficial ambassador for the 1946 Frank Capra classic (and one of our favorites around the holidays) “It’s a Wonderful Life”.  With James Stewart playing her father George Bailey, Karolyn starred as Zuzu, uttering those timeless words, “Every time a bell rings an angel gets his wings.”  
Karolyn made 16 films between 1945 and 1952 and appeared alongside John Wayne, Cary Grant, Bing Crosby, Loretta Young, Fred MacMurray, Betty Grable, Danny Kaye and, of course, the immortal James Stewart.  At age six, she had already appeared in four films when the part of Zuzu came along. It was just another small part, but one that has made an indelible imprint on the American consciousness.  She joined us from her home in Weed, CA.

IN THE SPOTLIGHT:  Kathy Garver
Most fondly remembered for her starring role as “Cissy” in the long running CBS hit, “Family Affair”, Kathy Garver has garnered critical acclaim in movies, stage, radio, voice-over animation, and audio book narration.  
Legendary Cecil B. DeMille was one of the first to recognize Kathy’s talent.  Originally hired for a small part in the epic motion picture “The Ten Commandments”, Kathy was noticed by the great director who had special scenes written into the movie to highlight the little girl.  
During her teenage years, Kathy added radio and stage to her burgeoning film and television career and was a freshman majoring in speech at UCLA when she was cast in “Family Affair” to star as “Cissy” alongside Brian Keith and Sebastian Cabot.  One of the warmest and most enduring series of the 1960’s and 70’s, Family Affair earned Kathy a host of accolades such as Best Actress from the “Family Television Awards” and continues to be popular today and is available on Amazon Prime.
Today Kathy is an active, accomplished, and versatile actress, appearing in such films as "Sweet November" and "The Princess Diaries".  Kathy is also very much in demand for her numerous vocal characterizations and is best known as “Firestar”, a mutant super hero in the Spiderman and his Amazing Friends TV series.  Kathy has also recorded audiobooks for Brilliance Audio, Dove, Listen and Live and her voice has been heard in "Apollo 13" (which was awarded the Academy Award for sound), "Ransom", "Back Draft" and "Jingle all the Way", all directed by Ron Howard.   
Kathy also added author to her long list of accomplishments. Her first book, "The Family Affair Cookbook", was a tasty trip down memory lane and her 2015 memoir, "Surviving Cissy: My Family Affair of Life in Hollywood" was just released in paperback.  This year, Kathy has two more books scheduled for publication: "TV Dinners with a Side Dish of Stars" and, to celebrate the 55th anniversary of "Family Affair", "Family Affair: A Pictorial Scrapbook" will be released in September.  
Currently, Kathy can be seen on her YouTube channel cooking show, "Cooking with Kathy and Scot" and she’ll soon be launching a podcast called "All Things Classic" with director, writer, producer John Norton.  She is a regular at comic conventions and autograph shows where she greets her many fans.  Kathy joined us from her home in Bell Canyon, CA.

Photo credit: Robert Zimiga
Born a heterochromatic baby (put down the medical reference book - it means she's got two different colored eyes) with the last name "Bible" on Halloween night, Karie was destined to be nothing if not unique. Her passion for history and Hollywood's past led her to starting a cemetery tour in 2002 under the guidance of historian Marc Wanamaker. In keeping with her love of living history, she gives the tour in vintage gowns from her collection that spans the 1920s through the 1950s. 
Karie has lectured at The Old Town Music Hall, The Queen Mary, The Homestead Museum and is also a "Lady in Black" to honor silent film star Rudolph Valentino.  Plus she created the website and e-newsletter FilmRadar.com about specialty film events in Los Angeles.  Karie has appeared in segments for Turner Classic Movies, CNN, History Channel, and Travel Channel.  She co-authored the book "Location Filming in Los Angeles" with historians Marc Wanamaker and Harry Medved and co-authored "Hollywood Celebrates the Holidays" with Mary Mallory. 
A vintage lifestyle devotee, she lives in a 1920s apartment and hosts "Hollywood Kitchen" where she makes the recipes of stars from Hollywood's Golden Age, all while interviewing historians, authors, and her fellow film lovers.  She joins us from her home in Los Angeles.
