County Business Journal: (Entrepreneurs Section)"During the initial consultation, Henson tells parents the whole story about the business, not just the glamorous parts. There will be plenty of drives during rush hour traffic and more than a few TV dinners or Big Macs. She also emphasizes that it is possible to raise normal, happy children who work in commercials, and points to her own as proof. I have a reputation for not being a stage mother." |

Los Angeles Times: (Business Section)Over twenty years ago, Phyllis Henson started her business: "In between the long treks from Orange County to Los Angeles for auditions, Henson built her business by seeking referrals from all the agents and other show business people she met. Many times, she said, her own children's careers suffered while she devoted her energy to helping other children. Today, her office walls are covered with pictures of her clients." |

Los Angeles Times: (Orange County Enterprise)"Henson sees herself as a Hollywood matchmaker guiding Orange County parents who think their child has that special star quality through the mazes and pitfalls of the movie and television industry.

Business Journal: Helping Orange County kids break into show business is her (Henson's) job. Whether it she's advising a parent on clothing style or work permits .. she is the one to talk to. What Henson does do is make sure that your child does not become lost in the masses of wanna-be-kid stars in Hollywood. " I can help match up children with the right agent" said Henson. I know what kind of look certain agencies like, as well as what age group they need." |
| Orange
County Business Journal: Henson's (KHC founder and president) expertise is to package the child so that he or she is ready to meet a potential agent. The agent's job is to find jobs for the child. She also stays in touch with the agents, getting her clients out on as many interviews as possible, or finding out why a child wasn't sent out for a particular audition. For a child who succeeds, the monetary rewards can be high. Although there is no "average" commercial, Henson says, because it depends on where it is shown and how often. It's possible to make $4,000 to $7,000 on a single commercial - or more. |
