Elizabeth Montgomery

[Syrinx]

Please satisfy my curiousity about this matter. :)

1. Sorry, I don't know any more than what KO has said

on the show (i.e., friends for many years). Since he's lived in NY and LA and is something of a celebrity himself, I'm not surprised that he's met a few actors, whether or not they can/do act. ;-)

on edit: and why are you curious about that at 6am on a Sunday? Surely this isn't giving you insomnia. :P I just popped in while waiting for a new kernel to finish building. :hangover:

3. Keith hasn't said much about it, except to paint them as very good friends

It's possible that they were neighbors during the first time he lived in Los Angeles (1984-92). That is most likely the means by which they met. He moved back to the East Coast to join ESPN three years before she died.

4. Don't know how they met

but it seems like sports. This is the story I keep finding when I search. How he's reminded of what she told him when she's approached by fans. This article offered a bit more info in its version (like the fact that they were close enough for him to call her "Lizzie") but still, no real background.

Then he said he was reminded of an episode he shared with the late actress Elizabeth Montgomery, whom he described as a friend of his and a "big sports fan (boxing, hoops)." They once sat together on a plane ride.

"Every 30 seconds somebody else comes up to her and says, 'Excuse me, Miss Montgomery, could you please do that little thing with your nose that you used to do on 'Bewitched?' And every time, she does it. Half an hour into this, I can't stand it anymore.

"'Lizzie,' " I say, 'The next one who asks, I'm going to kill with my bare hands.' She gets very serious. 'Oh no, Keith. You must remember, when they do that, either they remember what you did from years ago -- it touched them and they remember -- and that's the ultimate success in your craft; or, they saw a re-run last night on cable and that means you're going to be getting another check soon.'"

12. thanks everyone

EM sounds like she was a great person, not to mention beautiful. I also remember her narrating a documentary about Iran-Contra, or something similar.

:hi:

13. I love that story.

It just goes to show how gracious some celebs are. I once read that Beverly Sills, when asked if she didn't get tired of having to meet with all her fans everywhere, said "No. I don't HAVE to meet with them. I GET to meet them."
