This is the strange but true story of how a failed jazz pianist from Passaic, N.J., became the author of one of the best-selling books in history.

...only child stars who have attempted to forge teenage careers. Raven Simone, the youngest Cosby, dropped a record of her own a few years back. But as That’s So Raven languishes in a K-Mart bargain bin somewhere in Omaha, we must accept the sad truth: absent the blonde, former child stars haven’t a prayer of retaining their fame. Sorry, Pete and Pete, the masses have spoken: 10 million girls of America want Olsen movies—and clothes and makeup and books and posters and pez dispensers—today...
