A warning to all parents in California wishing to get their kids into modeling and/or acting: Stay away from Kids Hollywood Connection in Newport Beach!
It is a complete rip off. The owner Phillis, is a fast talking used car slippery sales person! She'll tell you what you as a parent wish to hear to get your money... Your child may be a star... Just like her amateur looking website says. When I initally called, I was only told there was a $140.00 fee (I think).
Well, when I went there and payed, I met Phillis, and she convinced me how great my kid was and that I needed to get a sag agent. Well, this would now cost me $1,025.00 for only 6 months. This was never told to me on the phone when i called, and i was very specific when asking about money. They are very misleading.
I don't expect them to do what they do for nothing. I understand that. They were very sneaky on the phone. I also asked a friend who's been in the industry for a while, and she had never heard of them. My friend also called a few very big agents specifically about this company, and they said it was in fact a scam and to run the other way.
I also ran into another parent at babies r us in Tustin. They also said Henson ripped them off too! The better business bureau says they are a b rating, but then again, who pays the bbb? Companies like kids hollywood connection does. So that's a scam too! Kids hollywood connection nneds to be closed down for good. This company preys on the dreams of parents, and Phillis, and her employess, know exactly what to say to naive parents to get their money.
I really have on idea why this owman has not been closed by the da of orang county. I'm going to file a complaint against her. She's lies to people and acts like she's so pure and honest. It's all a complete act.
She really seems like a very bitter woman. I hear she's been a single mother for years... Gee... I wonder why Phillis?
You may also file your own complaint on this site or go to (link deleted). They also want her closed. They are working with the da too.
Goodbye Phillis
