Bewitched and Beyond: The Fan Who Came to Dinner (25 page)

At an ’05 premier party for a film called
Bullets Over Broadway
with Rose Marie and Margaret O’Brien.

Kasey meets up with Spidey on my 33rd birthday!

Lost in a Halloween Corn Maze with Rose Marie!

Kasey was never above anything! Here she is sanding our new wood floor that we were self-installing in the condo! To my knowledge, what we wrote under it still lies there!

Kasey and I reenact her famous scene on the actual lake from
Strangers on A Train…
I get to be the psychotic Robert Walker! Ha!

Rose Marie with a few of her many treasures she still had from her career. In January of 2008 I got her inducted into the Smithsonian Institute. She donated the small ruffled dress and gold shoes that she wore in 1927 in her very first all singing Vitaphone short! Also, a bow from
The Dick Van Dyke Show
days.

Acknowledgments

Thanks goes to my Mom. More than 20 years ago she and my Dad put me on a plane to come out here. She tear’d up and hugged me tight. I believe she knew before I did that I would not return home from that journey. I would also like to thank ALL those, both still here and not, mentioned in the body of this text or not, that shaped those wonderful 15 years: Sandy Gould, Bernard, Jacque, Amanda, Valerie Fox, Lisa Wilkie, Dick Sargent, Rose Marie, SueAne Langdon, Annette Boyer, Scott Awley, Steven Colbert, Keith Jennings, Gilmore Rizzo, Julia DelJudge, Noopy and Steve, Kathy Vigoda, Maret Wicken, Gloria Solari and the many different casts of Calico Corners. I’d also like to thank Ben Ohmart, publisher of BearManor Media, Sandra Grabman, production manager and Valerie Thompson for the design of this book.

This list could go on and on… if I missed you, my apologies and thank you. And one last note of thanks. To Kasey Rogers, where ever you are I hope you can see this. I loved you. I miss you.
