The 73-year-old stage and film actress Kathy Garver rose to fame when she was cast in the 1960's show "Family Affair." Garver shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon, despite her age.

Garver released a memoir titled "Surviving Cissy: My Family Affair of Life in Hollywood" four years ago. In it, she discusses her multidimensional career as both an actress and author.

The actress made great strides in her life and career as she grew up from the teenage Cissy Patterson-Davis, a fan-favorite from "Family Affair."

Before landing the role that shaped her career, Garver played a child slave in the 1956 film "The Ten Commandments."

She also appeared in several television shows between 1952 and 1966 before she stepped into Cissy's shoes.

Her acting spans more than six decades in total, and she landed her first role in "The Red Skelton Hour" when she was just seven years old.

Garver also pursued voice-over acting and, more recently in her life, producing as well.
