People Magazine - Sneak Peek! Child Stars: Then & Now
Find out where Kirk Cameron, Blossom’s Mayim Bialik, the Charles in Charge girls and more child stars are in this excerpt from PEOPLE’s new book:

PETER BILLINGSLEY
Then: He memorably played Ralphie, the bespectacled kid in the holiday classic A Christmas Story, whose life would be complete if only he had a Red Ryder BB gun. Now: He’s the (mostly) silent member of the Vince Vaughn-Jon Favreau comedy cartel. After meeting Vaughn when the two costarred on an after-school special in 1990, Billingsley, 37, has since executive-produced The Break-Up (starring Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston) and Iron Man (directed by Favreau).

This is not a new book by any means, but it is a tried and true book of monologues for teenagers — especially students. Here is what one parent had to say about the book:

“My daughter was auditioning for theatre projects in our community, and she needed a great monologue. I searched the internet, and Chambers Stevens’ books kept cropping up in the search results. So I ordered “Magnificent Monologues for Teens”. It was well worth the very reasonable price. My daughter loved it. The monologues are exceptionally well written, and are appropriate for even a young teen. The biggest problem we had with the book was which monologue to choose. If your teen actor is searching for the perfect monologue, I highly recommend this book.” ~ Michael Johnson
