Animal Superstars: Where Are They Now?

“Like other actors in the industry, animals have open calls and closed auditions, hair and makeup experts, special diets, red carpet appearances and retirement to a ranch. There are stars, unknowns, hopefuls and has-beens. There is hard work, and there is reward: chicken bits, in Lassie’s case.” –This Star Works for Chicken Bits, by William L. Hamilton, The New York Times, May 28, 2006.
