[Note: Unless otherwise indicated, the commentary and quotes in this article are from the author's interview with those mentioned.]. Elizabeth Montgomery was one of the most popular actors from the 1950s to her unfortunate passing from cancer in 1995. Before, during, and after her benchmark Emmy-nominated role as twitch-witch Samantha Stephens on TV's Bewitched (ABC, 1964-1972), Montgomery made over 200 additional appearances in other weekly shows, TV-movies, and feature films.

It’s a Tuesday night, and I’m watching fellow Asian folks mock American democracy. A judge wears a colonial wig and an American flag, wielding a bedazzled gavel. They lead an Asian chorus, explaining (with a relentlessly chipper demeanor) how Republicans and Democrats choose presidential candidates. The chorus places papers into a ballot box stylized as a witch’s cauldron. For a second, the whole world is jazz hands, wide smiles, and knowing winks.

Piano players are essential to many music genres, including classical, jazz, blues, and contemporary music. Their skills range from intricate classical compositions to improvisational jazz solos and expressive pop ballads. Pianists often serve as the backbone of musical arrangements, providing harmonic structure, melody, and rhythm. Their performances can range from solo piano pieces to collaborative works with other musicians or orchestras. The versatility of the piano allows players to explore a wide range of styles and techniques, making it a central instrument in both traditional and modern music. The artistry and technical proficiency of piano players contribute significantly to the richness and diversity of musical expression.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.
