New Elizabeth Montgomery Biography to be released
Some great news for Elizabeth Montgomery & Bewitched fans as a Biography on her enchanting life is going to be released in November this year.
The author is Herbie J. Pilato who wrote Bewitched forever. For Elizabeth Montgomery fans this is it, as this will entail the only real Biography ever to be done on her life. It includes in the area of 50 photos many of them in color as well as including dozens of interviews with many of the people who shared her life and knew her best through out all of her life. An intimate look at the inner sanctums of the life that enchanted us yet alluded us as well. I was blessed to be involved in this project in a significant way in helping to put together this homage with Herbie J. Pilato to the life of La La Lizzie. Pre Order information is in the link below: https://rowman.com/ISBN/9781589797499 Some up to date pre-ordering information.

New Elizabeth Montgomery Biography Reviews on advanced copy of the book
Reviews of an advanced copy of Herbie J. Pilato's Book "Twitch upon a Star":
Heavily researched, expertly executed, and handled with reverence, Twitch Upon A Star is a magical revelation about one of the most popular and endearing performers of all time. It's clear that Herbie J Pilato not only knows what he's talking about, but that he also cares very deeply about his subject, from a personal, yet objective perspective...No two ways about it, this book is a class act about a classic actress. — Danny Gold, Film and Television Producer I encourage everyone to read Pilato's astounding, loving, riveting, eye-opening book. — Lydia Cornell, star of classic TV's Too Close For Comfort, comedienne, and women and children's advocate The way Herbie J Pilato tells it, Elizabeth Montgomery just didn't have guts, she had balls. She was kind to those she felt deserved it but had no qualms about setting others straight. Who'd'a thunk that sweet little Samantha had such chutzpah? — Larry Brody, veteran TV writer and producer (Baretta, Diagnosis: Murder, The Fall Guy, and more) Not only has Bewitched’s Samantha Stephens influenced hundreds of female TV characters and the actresses who portrayed them, but Elizabeth Montgomery’s lasting influence on Hollywood and society has been far greater than the TV series that made her a legend. Herbie J Pilato, one of the great students of classic TV, spins a compelling narrative that brings to life a magical TV series and its even more magical star. It’s a true Hollywood story, and more than any book I’ve read Twitch Upon a Star goes behind-the-scenes to capture a fascinating period in history when television was coming of age. — Jack Myers, Media Ecologist, Author and Producer Intricately revealing, well written and hard to put down, Herbie J Pilato’s Twitch Upon a Star captures the essence and life of Elizabeth Montgomery. He leads readers on an intriguing journey into the loves, politics and performances of this multi-talented actor - a very magical journey, yet based in the real emotion of love. I heartily recommend this well rounded read for fans, friends and all who value the life of a gifted, complex and bewitching woman. — Kathy Garver, film, TV, and stage star (Cissy on the classic Family Affair TV series); author, The Family Affair Cookbook and Surviving Cissy; speaker. Much more than just a celebrity biography Twitch Upon A Star relays a spiritual quest that can speak to anyone. Retelling the story and work of a life can activate an awareness of the beauty and purpose in our own unfoldment. Pilato accomplishes this masterfully and magically, uncovering such depth and absorbing reflection with authenticity and vigorous charm to reveal Elizabeth Montgomery's journey as a true cultural treasure. This book is magnificent! — Thomas Warfield, performing artist and founder of PeaceArt International |

I can't imagine a better writer for a Liz bio than Herbie. Seriously, I can't wait to read it. I know from my talks with him that this book has truly been a labor of love for him.

That's cool but I'd like to see a video Bio of Liz on A&E or the Bio channel.
I'm sure there must be one of her. |

I've ordered mine because I figure it'll probably take a couple years before even a used copy is below its price of $13.41. I liked his other Bewitched book and another author's bio of her was under 200 pages and was always very expensive. It's hard to beat the price of this one for an almost 500 page hardcover book of a person you always wanted to read more about. It's almost gotta be worth it.
