Helping Careers Thrive in the Hollywood Entertainment Scene

We are a talent consulting firm providing advice, vocational guidance, and evaluations. The Young Hollywood was founded more than 40 years ago by Phyllis Henson, a mom whose three children appeared in over 150 national commercials, eight movies, and hundreds of print ads.

Ms. Henson vowed to help others avoid the mistakes she had made. That's why The Young Hollywood is here to help parents understand the importance of dealing with the most reputable people in the show business industry and how to get started.

The Young Hollywood not only helps parents avoid the pitfalls of the industry, but also builds lasting relationships with our clients. By working personally with each child and their parents, we help meet the needs of all the people involved and pursue their dreams in show business.

A Lifetime of Success in Showbiz

The Young Hollywood was created because of these three children (Phyllis' kids). The Henson kids constantly worked in the business, starring in numerous national commercials for companies such as:

  • A1 Steak Sauce
  • Coca-Cola
  • Disney
  • Eggo Waffles
  • Johnson & Johnson
  • Kellogg's
  • Kraft
  • Mattel
  • McDonald's
  • My Pet Monster
  • Oscar Mayer
  • Tide
  • Toys R Us
  • TWA

Eric, Kelly, and Wendy Henson also modeled for hundreds of print ads and had roles on multiple TV shows. They even had seven national commercials running at one time! They were highly recognized, and Phyllis was sought after by other parents for suggestions and guidance whenever she took them anywhere.

This family of four was a team, having fun and working hard for these accomplishments. Phyllis knows the hard work, dedication, and steps to take to make it happen. Who better to guide you than a mom who's been there and done that successfully?
