TV's Lovely Ladies
Check out the women that keep us tuning in.
Rising star and burgeoning teen idol Freddie Prinze Jr proudly carries the name of his deceased father, the Latino star of the popular 1970s sitcom "Chico and the Man". Only ten months old at the time of his father's tragic suicide, Prinze counts among his legacy more that just the comedian's dark good looks and palatable screen presence. He has made a point both to stay away from the fast Hollywood lifestyle and to be open-hearted with his loved ones, remaining remarkably grounded and free of pretense. Raised in suburban New Mexico, Prinze, by all reports, experienced an average childhood.
