          "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.

Herbie J Pilato, one of the great students of classic TV, spins a compelling narrative that brings to life a magical TV series and it’s 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.

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 "Elizabeth Montgomery's life is beautifully portrayed by author Herbie J Pilato in [this] loving ne
