ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Twitch Upon a Star is a result of the support, talent, diligence, and general enthusiastic assistance from several individuals, not the least of which was Elizabeth Montgomery. Who could have known that the unpublished excess of our original Bewitched interviews would later be incorporated into this new biography on her entire life and career? She generously offered her time, memories, and boundless energy, and this book simply and clearly would not have been possible without the unique imprint of her remarkable personality, wit, words, and wisdom.
I appreciate everyone who granted interviews for this book, each of whom delivered intimate recollections, professional perspective, and insight into Elizabeth’s illustrious life and career in either, 2009, 2011, and 2012 via telephone, email, or in-person: Peter Ackerman, Ed Asner, Bonnie Bartlett, Christian Beltram, Ray Caspio, Lydia Cornell, Ronny Cox, William Daniels, Jone Devlin, Kenneth Gehrig, Florence Henderson, Thomas Hill, DD Howard, Kenneth Johnson, Sally Kemp, David Knell, June Lockhart, David Mixner, Kathy Perillo, David Pierce, James Pylant, Rob Ray, Cliff Robertson, Ed Robertson, Saundra Santiago, Eric Scott, Randy Skretvedt, Doug Tibbles, Charles Tranberg, Lin Bolin Wendkos, Dan Weaver, David White, and Vince Staskel.
Into this mix, entertainment historian Thomas McCartney and his unending efforts, knowledge, and extensive research into the archives of Elizabeth Montgomery and all media proved to be an invaluable resource. Tom is worth his weight in gold and is the best in the business. There is no way this book would have become what it is without him.
I would also like to thank the professional and cou
rteous team at Taylor Trade Publishing, including although not limited to editorial director Rick Rinehart, acquisitions editor Flannery Scott, senior production editor Alden Perkins, copyeditor Jocquan Mooney, and Kalen Landow, director of marketing and publicity, all of whom trusted, believed in, and supported my vision for this book. They are a testament to integrity and patience in the world of publishing.
An especially grateful acknowledgement is extended to my representative Roger J. Kaplan who worked exhaustively in seeing this project through long before we had a publisher.
Although the following individuals did not grant interviews directly for his book, they provided substantial memories from my previous interviews (from 1988 through 1990) and/or conversations (from 2001 to 2006) that were incorporated into this book: Harry Ackerman, Billy Asher, Jr., Rebecca Asher, Richard Bare, Frederic G. Cammann, John L. Greene, Art Metrano, Richard Michaels, Kasey Rogers, Sol Saks, Dick Sargent, Dick York, Irene Vernon, and especially William Asher, Sr. If it hadn’t been for Bill (who passed away shortly before this book went to print), I would never have met Elizabeth. No matter how many times he was married before or after he was with Elizabeth, it was always abundantly clear that she remained the love of his life. And now they’re together again … forever.
Further appreciation to the following for inspiration in a variety of ways that contributed to this book in one way or the other over a twenty-year span: Meredith Asher, Robert Asher, Abigail Borwick, Carol Burnett, Elinor Donahue, Michael Dambers, Dominick Dunne, Brian Feinblum, Bernard Fox, Robert Foxworth, William Froug, Alice Ghostley, Sandra Gould, Michael Greenwald, Angie Horejsi, David Lawrence, Greg Lawrence, Dewey Mee, Diane Murphy, Erin Murphy, Ben Ohmart, Wendy Ogren, Melanie Parker, Alice Pearce, Scott Penney, Steve Randisi, Brendan Slattery, Ed Spielman, John Scheinfeld, Charles Sherman, Tom Stevenson, Steve Thompson, Fredrick Tucker, Dan Wingate, and Karen L. Herman, Director, Archive of American Television, Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Foundation.
Additional gratitude is expressed to many dear friends for their unfailing support in countless ways: Chris Alberghini, Sam Amato, Rudy Anderson, Matt Asner, George Barrett III, Lex Blaackman, Thomas Centron, Matthew Cook, Jim Cutaia, Giovanna Curatalo, Danny Gold, Kathe Finucane, Lawrence Finucane, Tamara A.
