"This biography debuts as Sony and CBS prepare a new Bewitched series for the Fall. Based on exclusive interviews, this book includes never-before published material from those associated with her remarkable life before, during, and after Bewitched. It also explores her political activism: her advocacy for AIDS research, the peace movement, and her participation as narrator in Cover Up (Iran/Contra scandal)"--Provided by publisher.
Based on Pilato's exclusive interviews with Montgomery prior to her death in 1995, this book includes never-before-published material about her remarkable life and career before, during, and after Bewitched. Though typecast as "Samantha", two of her many TV movies were groundbreaking and remain classics. Pilato explores Montgomery's tumultuous relationships with her father, screen legend Robert Montgomery, and her four husbands; and goes behind the scenes to explore Montgomery's political activism, including her early advocacy for AIDS sufferers and the peace movement; the gay community and the disabled; and her controversial participation as narrator of films which chronicled the Iran/Contra scandal of the 1980s.
