IMAGE Personal Experience Lets Fans Interact with THE HOLLYWOOD SHOW Stars, 7/13-14

Movie and TV fans will be able to interact with some of their favorite stars during the upcoming "The Hollywood Show" without leaving home, thanks to IMAGE Personal Experience, an Internet-based service that provides live, streaming video of participating celebrities signing pre-purchased items.

"A lot of people travel great distances to attend autograph shows," said actress Kathy Garver, who is best known for her role as "Cissy" on the classic CBS sitcom "Family Affair." "I am looking forward to meeting fans in person, but I am also excited that people who cannot come to Los Angeles on those dates can still be a part of the experience."

With IMAGE Personal Experience, fans purchase a collectible item in advance, through the company's website, and make arrangements for the celebrity to autograph the item at a predetermined time. Each fan can witness the autograph session online. A copy of the video is then sent to the purchaser, along with the signed item and a certificate of authenticity. For an additional fee, the purchaser may ask questions of the celebrity or request a personal greeting for someone. Shipping within the U.S. is included in the purchase price.

Garver will autograph photos, copies of her book, "The Family Affair Cookbook," and replicas of the "Mrs. Beasley" doll, which was made famous on her television series.

"The Mrs. Beasley doll is a real collector's item," Garver said. "There aren't many left, and the ones that I have are still sealed in the original box."

Other celebrities who will participate in the IMAGE Personal Experience at The Hollywood Show are actor Jon Provost ("Timmy" on the original "Lassie" television series), actress Naomi Grossman ("Pepper" in "American Horror Story: Asylum"), model Brande Roderick ("All-Star Celebrity Apprentice"), Maryse Ouellet (World Wrestling Entertainment's "Diva"), and actress Ami Dolenz ("General Hospital," "Children of the Night"), daughter of singer Mickey Dolenz of The Monkees.

The Hollywood Show will feature a total of 93 celebrities, including singer Pat Boone, actress Barbara Hale ("Perry Mason"), actor Richard Chamberlain ("Dr. Kildare"), actress Katey Sagal ("Married With Children," "Sons of Anarchy"), singers Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr. (The 5th Dimension), actress Susan Olsen ("The Brady Bunch"), Mackenzie Phillips ("One Day at a Time"), and many more.

The Hollywood Show will take place July 13 and 14 at the The Westin Hotel (near LAX), 5400 W. Century Blvd., Los Angeles, California 90045. For details about The Hollywood Show, visit www.HollywoodShow.com. For information about IMAGE Personal Experience, visit www.ImageMeetAndGreet.com.
