Two of Montgomery's many popular TV movies, “A Case of Rape” (which remains one of the highest-rated TV-movies of all time) and “The Legend of Lizzie Borden” (which will soon be remade as a feature film), were groundbreaking and remain classics. But “Twitch Upon a Star” also goes behind the scenes to explore Montgomery's political activism, including her early advocacy for AIDS sufferers and the peace movement, her support for all minorities, including the gay community and the disabled, and her controversial participation as narrator of the1988 feature film documentary “Cover-Up” and its 1991 Oscar-winning sequel, “The Panama Deception” (both of which chronicled the Iran/Contra scandal of the 1980s). The book also explores Montgomery's tumultuous relationships with her father, screen legend Robert Montgomery (she was a liberal, he was a staunch conservative), and her four husbands (including actor Gig Young, who later died in a murder/suicide). Through it all, and to family and friends such as fellow performers Ronny Cox, Sally Kemp, and Florence Henderson, she was just Lizzie: down-to-earth and unaffected, just like Samantha, the "witch-with-a-twitch" Stephens, her most famous role.
