Product Description

Real-Life Reader Biographies present the lives of contemporary role models for young readers. These are the stories of real men and women who, despite many obstacles, followed their dreams.

Freddie Prinze, Jr., never wants to talk about his famous father, the first Puerto Rican sitcom star in Hollywood ("Chico and the Man"), who shot himself when he was just twenty-two years old. He left behind a wife, ten-month old Freddie, Jr., and millions of adoring fans. Freddie, Jr., never knew him and he doesn't want to dwell on the past. What Freddie, Jr., does want, however, is a successful film career, something his father never saw. And he wants to say that he learned a few lessons from his father: he will never go near drugs.

Launched to stardom after he appeared in the teen horror films I Know What You Did Last Summer and it's sequel, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, Freddie then took on his first romantic leading role in She's All That. But as his career takes off, he is careful not to tread where his father has gone before him. He wants his star to shine for a very long time.

5.0 out of 5 stars My life,My find, December 24, 2000

By A Customer

Mommy look!Ok here's how it goes.When I was 5 I had a brain tumor, and one day I was watching TV when the hit TV show "Faimly Matters" came on.I watched it, and this amazly cute guy came on, my mom told me his name was Freddie Prinze Jr.He's been my idoil ever since.When I found out about this book I froze I was sooooo happy. Then when I read the book I was soooo happy, because it was soooo good.That now I want to order one for my cousin.The whole time I was in the hosipal I wanted to meet him soooo bad now for some reason I feel like I've met him, but I know I haven't.A long time ago when Freddie Prinze Jr was hosting TRL I called in, and got to talk to him.Yeterday I was with my dad in a Harley shop when I saw George Clooney I was soooo happy, because as he was walking past me he bumped me,and then he talked to me and touched me I was soooo excited that I wanted to go get an autograph but I thought it would be mean so I didn't but I wish I would have.And I know if that would have been Freddie Prinze Jr I probably would have died.
