4.0 out of 5 stars Our Elizabeth, June 6, 2006

By 

Ouija (Las Vegas, NV USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Elizabeth Montgomery: A Bewitching Life (Paperback)

Elizabeth Montgomery is one of my idols and I'd always wished someone would write her biography. Now we have one...although I wouldn't call this book a biography in the traditional sense.

Elizabeth's story is told here in quotes, magazine articles and interviews previously given by Elizabeth and people who knew and worked with her. There are a great deal of interesting bits about Bewitched, especially obscure trivia that even diehard fans probably don't know, and some details about Elizabeth's ill-fated marriage to the odd actor Gig Young. This book also includes a lot of excellent photos of Elizabeth, many of which are from early in her career and before she became synoymous with Samantha.

I did learn a lot about my idol in reading this book, but because Elizabeth was a very private person, there are understandably a lot of holes that may never be filled.

Overall, I'm pleased with this book. True Elizabeth fans will like it too.

5.0 out of 5 stars LucyLvr...and Lizzie2, July 23, 2004

By 

LucyLvr "LucyLvr" (New Jersey) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Elizabeth Montgomery: A Bewitching Life (Paperback)

I am a big fan of Lucille Ball and I Love Lucy and I also looovvee Liz Montgomery. She is soooooo beautiful. Bewitched is one of my favorite shows and I have watched every episode hundreds of times. I also love Lizzie's movies, but I like Bewitched best. After reading the book I love her more and more. There is so much information on her. I even gave it to my gramdmother to read because she says that all Hollywood stars are the same but not Lizzie. She was a class act, as my grandmother said when she finished the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't wait for the next edition!, July 1, 2004

By 

Callie Foster (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Elizabeth Montgomery: A Bewitching Life (Paperback)

I was one of the lucky few who were able to get an advanced copy of this book which is supposed to come out this fall or next spring. I have been waiting for a book on Liz Montgomery for years. I loved watching Bewitched when I was a kid and I love all her television movies. I know that there are lots more people like me. This book is just wonderful. It is a real tribute to Liz who was a beautiful, wonderful person. I met her at the stage door of her show on Broadway and she was so lovely. Not at all like a star. This book shows Liz in all her beauty, her beauty outside and her inner beauty, too. The stories and pictures are fabulous and the part that has her own stories and quotes is the best. The author has much respect for Liz and had lots of interesting information. There is supposed to be a revised edition coming out with more stuff in it and I know lots of people are waiting anxiously for it. Thank you thank you thank you to the author.
