Penny,

Your suggestion is outstanding. Want to help me spread the word? I think Jon would love to have other podcasters interview him on their shows as well - provided he has the time. This fall is the 50th anniversary of the "Lassie" TV show's debut. I see the photo of Jon Provost today and I think to myself, "Man, you are up in years." Well, guess what? I am older than he is. Ouch!

Here is more information about Jon's autobiography:

TIMMY’S IN THE WELL: The Jon Provost Story By Jon Provost and Laurie Jacobson

Fall, 2007 marks the 50th anniversary of Jon Provost’s debut as Timmy Martin on “Lassie”. Just 7, he was already a seasoned professional, having appeared in ten films and TV shows with stars like: Grace Kelly, Bing Crosby, Jane Wyman, Anita Ekberg, William Holden. Both Hollywood and NY critics named him the top kid movie actor of 1958. Yet, while Jon portrays part of an idyllic television family, he and his own family are deeply and irrevocably changing as a result of his skyrocketing fame.

The exciting and chaotic life of TV’s first child superstar is told against the backdrop of ‘50s and ‘60s Hollywood: the collapse of the studio system, the burgeoning industry of television, rock and roll, the Sunset Strip and a life as far from the Martin farm as Jon could get.

Peppered with names like: Lucille Ball, Elvis Presley, Natalie Wood, Kurt Russell, Sal Mineo, Davy Jones and more and combined with dozens of interviews with coworkers, peers, friends and fans, Provost’s fascinating story gives a real insider’s view of Hollywood, the low down on one of television’s most enduring shows and the effects of fame on a typical American family.
