...There are some interesting excerpts from a 1981 interview with Elizabeth Montgomery on YouTube here and here. The interviewer is apparently the late Ronald Haver, longtime curator of the film program at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Montgomery shares reminisces regarding her father, BEWITCHED, and more.

I'm happy at the prospect of finally owning the entire series on DVD -- not to mention that at long last I can discard my Beta (!) videotapes of the show.
...Nanny state alert: The Coming War on Bacon? Food for thought.
...Classic Movies Digest has some great publicity shots of movie star bathing beauties.
...Jacqueline analyzes symbolism and racial issues in GONE WITH THE WIND (1939) in an interesting essay at Another Old Movie Blog....Southern Californians may be interested to know that the historic Parasol restaurant building in Rossmoor/Seal Beach will soon have a new tenant. Mel's Drive-In (which I reviewed here) closed last year, and Panera Bread soon moves in.
Have a great week!

Thanks for the link.
Thanks also for the links to the Elizabeth Montgomery interviews. A terrific actress, and certainly an endearing personality. It's fun to listen to her impressions of the "Bewitched" years. I'd also love to hear more about her memories of her various made for TV movies.
You're very welcome, Jacqueline! And I'm so glad you found the Montgomery interviews interesting as well. I have loved BEWITCHED since I was very little. A few months ago I bought THE AWAKENING LAND, which she made for TV with Hal Holbrook and Jane Seymour, but I haven't watched it yet. So many movies, so little time...!
Best wishes,
Laura
