Conversations with Legendary Television Stars

"Conversations with Legendary Television Stars includes interviews based on Q&A sessions Bawden and Miller undertook with an impressive array of stars and leading character players from US television and films over the years. The coauthors' professionalism as reporters and experience with the interviewing process make this an engaging, informative, and fascinating sequel to their other works."—James Robert Parish, author of Hollywood Divas: The Good, the Bad, and the Fabulous

"Readers can turn to any page of this treasure chest of recollections and find insightful, often humorous, and always fascinating remembrances by some of the greatest names in entertainment history. Bawden and Miller have expertly crafted a collage of the industry's most vital voices as they reminisce about their lengthy television careers, as well as their adventures in film, on radio, and onstage. This work is an essential tome for entertainment historians and casual film and television buffs, offering a vibrant portrait of a bygone era and a keen reminder of the wild changes in public tastes and entertainment styles during the twentieth century. That latter fact is best summarized herein by actor Ricardo Montalban, who wistfully reflects: 'We don't dream like we used to dream.'"—Brent Phillips, author of Charles Walters: The Director Who Made Hollywood Dance
