Being chased by Sleestaks was the easy part!
The funny, but harrowing, true story of former child actress Kathy Coleman—who starred in the hit 1970s show Land of the Lost. Kathy grew up fatherless in Southern California in the 1960s as the last child in a family of ten children. Her bright smile and blonde curls got her into television commercials at a very young age, and by the time she was 10 she was touring the country with a popular musical group.
Land of the Lost was known for its intelligent scripts and original concepts—from an alternate universe inhabited by dinosaurs, to primate-like Pakuni and lizard creature Sleestaks, to dimension-hopping Pylons. It became the most successful Saturday morning program of the decade. When it finished its network run, the show went directly into syndicated reruns that continue to this day. The book’s title is taken from the oft-repeated instructions of her TV brother, Will, played by Wesley Eure.
