The Essential Elizabeth Montgomery

Review:

I’ve always been a fan of Bewitched, but of course, when I was watching the show, they were reruns.  I remember feeling sad in learning of her passing and that I’d never get to see or meet her in person.  But, after reading this guide of “her magical performances”, I felt transported back in time.  I have much more respect for Elizabeth Montgomery for not only being the famous Samantha on Bewitched, but also being an advocate for people with Aids and Disabilities.  I was amazed at how passionate she was at standing up for people who couldn’t stand on their own.  In this guide, it gives you a glimpse of what her life was like, the highs and lows of her relationships and friendships with colleagues.  Beautiful photos of her, family and friends fill some of the pages along with photos of her on sets.  There is also a listing of all her performances, between movies and TV shows (including all the episodes of Bewitched) and voice overs.  Elizabeth Montgomery was nothing short of being a spectacular actress who loved what she did–acting.  There was so much detail described about her in this guide that it makes you appreciate her that much more and then some.  Kudos to you, Elizabeth (Lizzie), for being who you were and Herbie J. Pilato for capturing these moments and sharing them in this memorable guide.
