ACTOR JAMIE FARR WRITES CHRISTMAS BOOK
 TV
celebrity actor Jamie Farr is publishing a Christmas children's
book in 2003. Mr. Farr, known worldwide as "Klinger"
in the '70s TV series M*A*S*H, has signed a book contract
with publishing company PublishAmerica. The book, titled "Hababy's
Christmas Eve", will be co-authored by the actor's wife
Joy.
Mr.
Farr approached Frederick, Maryland based PublishAmerica over
the summer, realizing that PublishAmerica specializes in giving
new authors an opportunity to be published in a traditional
fashion. The company has released more than 2,000 new titles
in the past two years, which makes it the nation's fastest
growing traditional book publisher. Remembering his own humble
beginnings as the son of an Ohio meat cutter and a seamstress,
Jamie Farr chose to underscore the PublishAmerica approach
of giving previously untested writing talents a chance to
succeed. This is the  actor's
first children's book. "Hababy's Christmas Eve"
will be released in the Fall of 2003.
Jamie Farr joined the cast of M*A*S*H in the TV series' first
season in 1972, at first as an irregular, but due to his instant
success as cross-dressing Klinger he soon became a starter
in the show's lineup in its second season, receiving full
co-star credits in season number three. By the time the hugely
popular show folded after a decade, Jamie Farr had become
a true celebrity. He has used this status to advance numerous
charity causes, and lately he has turned his attention to
book writing, for children in particular.
