O TYM ODCINKU
A Bewitching Experience
Hi Everyone, my friends, fans, and followers. I'm so happy to be here once again to share the many stories I have, to let you in on, and to reveal what's been happening in my life. To start, I've been traveling and missed you all more than you know. February was filled with going here and there and hope you all had a great Valentine's Day. Very Romantic!!! Ummmm!!!
By the way, in my 3rd Episode, I deliberately spoke of many intimate, personal feelings, situations and hope it wasn't too much for some of you. After all, the reason for my PC Episodes is to let you in on my life so you really get to know me. But hang on, because this Bumpy Ride becomes a far greater Bumpier ROAD than any of you can imagine.
In my 3rd Episode, I shared many intimacies that almost never are shared but I briefly mention a different or other Michael about whom you will learn in this 4th Episode.
I've had so many requests to share my fabulous "Three Wishes" Episode of Bewitched and I'm over the top with excitement to do so. As many of you already know I was "Buffy", the blond ninny that could barely see anything without her glasses.
Going back, I remember how everyone laughed on the set as I portrayed my character. And please keep in mind they, of course, would not dare laugh until "After a Take" as our Director William "Bill" Asher was known to be Moody, quick-tempered, and as a matter of fact, he would often yell at many of the actors in a way that was demeaning such as the beautiful and lovely Samantha played by Elizabeth Montgomery.
In my heart, I felt sad for her because, at that time, she was married to Bill Asher. I have many memories of Bewitched even though I did only one show. A wonderful gentleman was Darin (Dick York) who could be very funny and had a way of making everyone laugh, including me. He was a treasure-trove of wild and crazy stories that he'd begin talking about as everyone, except our Director, would break up and laugh about which of course definitely eased any tension on the set.
There was a scene in that show when I was in bed and had to answer the phone. It was perfectly innocent but when I answered the phone I accidentally sneezed and at that moment Bill Asher Screamed "CUT" and "I was mortified and immediately said "I'm sorry. He waited for everyone to be quiet and said "Take 2" a-n-d "Action"!
At that very moment, the lunch wagon outside tooted the horn and everything went to hell in a handbasket. Yes, it was lunchtime but on our soundstage, we were thinking about getting the shot done, and well, this was one of those things that happen rarely but that noise distracted Bill Asher beyond his limit. First my sneeze and then.....the beep-beep horn for lunch. Not Good but worse for the actors and crew because our Director was furious about the interruption. Another thing that shouldn't have happened was ... when the soundstage is shooting, it's a foregone conclusion that the red light outside the soundstage goes on. I can only assume that either the lunch truck didn't see it or the red light didn't work. Either way, Bill Asher had every right to be angry and hopefully went to his trailer and possibly took a swig of something.
