The Cowsills In Magazines

SUSAN CLAIRE COWSILL used to sleepwalk .. . she once fell flat on her face in front of a large audience while running up a ramp to the stage . . . she'd wanted a poodle for two whole years before she actually got Suebar ... she trained her dog to lie down on his back in her doll bed . .. she cries at sad movies... she likes to cook "hard things" and anything that's really messy—but she doesn't particularly like to clean up ... she usually sticks to things she can't figure out until she finally masters them . . . she's much more comfortable in pants than she is in dresses. . . she tends to talk to animals and objects as if they were human beings who could answer her!

PAUL MITCHELL COWSILL is a clothing borrower from way back-he thinks the "large" wardrobe is the best thing about a big family ... he's a terrific dancer ... he took trumpet lessons for months before joining the group for the first time . .. being a celebrity hasn't changed him the teeny-tiniest bit... someday he'd like to be a physical education teacher or play professional football... he wants to do song-writing more than anything right now ... he sometimes thinks recording sessions are a drag because of the necessity to do each song over and over again ... he likes to be by himself at times—especially when he needs to'think a problem through!

JOHN PATRICK COWSILL is very careful about the way he spends his money ... he wants to have a big family of his own someday ... he really listens to the advice his older brothers give him ... he was once showing off by twirling his drumsticks—and he dropped them ... if he could, he'd stay away from barbers for months at a time... he gets ideas on the spur of the moment... he really digs playing practical jokes. .. he's embarrassed by the fact that he doesn't like to read very much ... he's an avid cartoon watcher on television Saturday mornings... he once thought he wanted to be a surgeon-he still thinks about the possibility, in fact!

BARRY STEVEN COWSILL once fell off the stage when the group was performing—but never missed a note on his guitar ... he someday wants to own a car with purple tires... his favorite Christmas gift ever was a rubber Popeye doll that cost less than one dollar... sometimes he has to be told to stop talking (which is a polite way of saying what he has to be told) ... he's not a, fan of unisex fashions... he's very ;! aware of being popular with girls, j though he doesn't want them to like | him just because he's a Cowsill.. .he I tends to exaggerate all the time ... he I gets nervous performing for people lie = knows, but not for large crowds of people he doesn't know!

ROBERT PAUL COWSILL is considered the funniest of the Cowsill brothers . . . he's got one very impractical wish-to buy a banana yellow Triumph car ... he was once punished in the first grade by being made to wear a ribbon in his hair—and when his father heard about the "crime," he made Bob keep wearing it... he used to get spanked at home... he never liked the group's solid hit "Indian Lake"... he can really be very stubborn when he sets his mind to it... the one lesson he learned in school he's never gotten over is that no two snowflakes look alike under a microscope ... he's a dedicated people-watcher—and girls are his favorite kind of people!
