An articles and short story writer, Bea Fogelman had always wanted to write a book that would be of interest to thousands of people. She found the subject has been in her own "back yard" for over twenty years!

After each performance of an impersonator show she would watch the faces of the audience as they poured out of the showrooms and note their appreciation and pleasure.

There are thousands of people who attend impersonation shows every year. Many have never seen the "stars" in person and, for a small fraction of the cost of a concert, they may enjoy this wonderful concept of entertainment.

The book, "CopyCats" began forming on her computer in January 1994. Interviews were the most enjoyable part of this writing.

Bea has been married to pharmacist, Leo Fogelman, for over fifty years. They reside in Las Vegas where their home is filled with friends and their three children: Jayne Juster, Bob Fogelman (m. Lorraine) and Sherie Rae (m. Carroll "Beav" Parker). They have seven grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
