"Susie...Ain't She A Doozie? My 'Hazel' Days and Beyond"

“Julia’s book will make you both laugh and cry.  It’s filled with wonderful insights about what Hollywood was like for a child actor who started working professionally when she was 6 and continued right on into adulthood.  Julia was talented enough to be hand-picked by Shirley Booth to play Susie Baxter in the fifth and final season of Hazel.  Her successful career continued into her young adult years.  But then something tragic happened to Julia that would change her life forever.  Her whole story is here - the good, the bad, the terrifying, and the eventual recovery.  Julia Benjamin is a survivor, and now for the first time, she shares her life with everyone in one of the most emotional books ever written.”

• Stu Shostak, TV Historian

“I first met Julia Benjamin at Columbia Pictures when she signed on to the popular Hazel television series.  She was, then and now, adorable. When A Minor Consideration started up in the early 90’s Julia came back into my life as she began her courageous recovery from a vicious dog attack on Valentine’s Day.  Julia’s will to bravely face Life’s ups and downs is remarkable.”
