I Loved working on this Movie of the Week!

I had worked for Leonard Goldberg when he was VP of ABC .. and now again while I was at Spelling & Spelling/Goldberg .. David Levenson ..we go way back .. to 1964 when he was working his way up to being a producer/writer .. I LOVED this MOW . it was a film within a film .. The cast was super .. Billy Wiard was a wonderful director . always wrapped the company early getting the day's work OR even more .. NO late hours when you worked with Billy Wiard! . (died MUCH too young:( ) AND I met BJ .. he and I are still friends ..

Funny thing was .. we shot a scene one night on the beach at Malibu, I believe it was .. we had all the permits to shoot LATE .. well, a Disney Exec. lived right above where we were shooting/filming .. AND he did NOT like all the noise . but we had permission . he could have said NO when he got the 'can the company film after midnight' or whatever it was ... crews try to be quiet .. everyone does .. but sound travels late at night .. anyway, we had a camera down on the beach .. the executive came down when the assistant director said ROLL it ... he jumped in front of the camera flailing his arms about .. he did NOT know that he was in front of a DUMMY camera . our real camera was UP on the bluff shooting down and he could NOT be seen OR heard as it was 'just a long shot' .. shows how astute that executive was ..we laughed about that ..well, I am still laughing about it.

I read the script and was totally thrown by it .. had NO clue what was going to happen ..

Our wrap party was on stage at 20th Century Fox where I met up 'once again' with Len Goldberg .. whom I adored working for at ABC .. however, it did not work out and I was afraid he would not remember me . but he did and thanked me for the 'good job' on "Fantasies" ..

It seems like only yesterday .. where does the time go? ..
