HERE ARE SOME OF THE NEW TITLES COMING TO THE BIOGRAPHY CHANNEL THIS FALL

SPECIALS

FATHERS AND SONS IN HOLLYWOOD - In this two-hour Special, The Biography Channel will explore the funny, fearsome and frustrating facets of celebrity fatherhood. Famous dads will divulge how they spend their quality time with the kids. And their equally successful sons will reveal how they rode a silver spoon to the silver screen.

MOTHERS & DAUGHTERS IN HOLLYWOOD - Imagine being a kid and seeing hundreds of crazed fans chasing your famous Hollywood mother, or reading about your parents' divorce in the paper. Being a celebrity mother or daughter can be tough, and this 2-hour special takes an intimate look at women who have gone through the experience.

FRIENDS - Since September 1994, more than 20-billion people have tuned in to see if Ross and Rachel are getting back together, if Chandler and Monica are going to adopt a baby, if Joey will ever return as Dr. Drake Remoray, and if Phoebe will regale us with one more chorus of "Smelly Cat". Join us for this look back at the modest NBC ensemble show about "friendship" that captivated the viewing public for 10 seasons.

REALITY STARS: UNCENSORED - A look behind the scenes at the Reality TV craze. Find out why people will put up with anything to be on the shows, why people who are already famous (like Donald Trump) are jumping on the bandwagon, why viewers love Reality TV so much, and how the advertisers and executives who green-light the programs benefit.

FAMILIESTHE FONDAS - A special 2-hour look at the triumphs and struggles of the legendary Hollywood acting family. Looks at Henry's greatest films and five turbulent marriages; Jane's many careers as a star, antiwar activist, and fitness guru; and Peter's hippie lifestyle.

THE HUSSEIN FAMILY - The saga of the Hussein family began with grand aspirations. Saddam Hussein had a vision of a dynasty that would live and rule for generations. Now Saddam has been captured, his sons are dead, and the rest of his family is either under arrest or living in exile. We trace Saddam's family roots back to the tribal Sunni Muslim area of central Iraq, where family squabbles were historically settled with brute force--a tribal code that would guide Saddam throughout his life.

PEOPLE

JACK NICKLAUS - For most of the past 30 years, Jack Nicklaus has been considered golf's greatest. His longevity has proved equal to Arnold Palmer's, and only Ben Hogan and Bobby Jones can be considered players in Nicklaus's league.

JOHN STAMOS - As a child, the actor John Stamos had three wishes--to become famous, to star in a TV show, and to marry an amazing woman. He did all three when he was seen by millions as Blackie Parrish on the daytime soap "General Hospital" and in the sitcom "Full House" and married supermodel Rebecca Ramon.

JOHN WATERS - Profile of film director, author, photographer and sometime actor. The content of his work has sometimes shocked and always entertained an international audience and they are equally notable for the colorful casting.

JULIANNE MOORE - With ageless beauty and four Oscar nominations, she's the darling of film critics and cosmetics companies eager to put her in their advertising. We follow Julianne Moore's career from 3-year stint on the daytime soap "As the World Turns" to a small role in "The Fugitive" that caught the eye of Steven Spielberg, who cast her without audition in "Jurassic Park" The Lost World".

MR. ROGERS - For more than 45 years, the television program Mr. Rogers has been entertaining, enlightening, and informing preschool children. Generations of young people have come of age knowing that they are special and loved by the soft-spoken, kindly man who wore sneakers and a cardigan sweater.

PHIL HARTMAN - The life of the brilliant comedian who was at the top of his career when his wife shot him, then turned the gun on herself in an apparent murder-suicide. Phil Hartman, who first burst into fame on "Saturday Night Live", was then working on the hit show "NewsRadio". He lived in a million-dollar mansion with his wife and two young children, and to the outside world, everything seemed perfect. But others, who knew the couple, paint a far different and darker picture…

TRACI LORDS - At 34, Traci Lords has live more lives than most women twice her age. A small-town girl from Ohio who became an underage porn star, she was arrested by the FBI at age 18 and has tried to work her way out of porn fame ever since. This profile looks at Traci Lords the fashion model, rock star, and legitimate actress.
