Review (PDF) I Love The Illusion: The Life And Career Of Agnes Moorehead
Lovers of old-time radio hold a special place in their heart for Agnes Moorehead. She was one of the busiest and most definitive actresses of that medium. The bottom line is that Agnes Moorehead is one of the few actresses who succeeded in every realm of show business: stage, radio, film, and television. The respect of her peers can be summed up in these statistics: four Academy Award nominations, seven Emmy nominations - with one win - two Golden Globe nominations - with two wins - and the Best Actress award from the New York Film Critics. This impressive, 400+ page biography, complete with filmography and radiography, proves to readers and scholars alike that she was much more than the witch of Endor!*This is the 2nd edition of the bestselling book, including new cover, epilogue by Bewitched Forever author Herbie J Pilato, and copy of a lecture given by the author on the writing of the book!*

Charles Tranberg's epic biography of Agnes Mooreheadis one of the most thorough and interesting books I'veever had the pleasure of reading. Although she was oneof Hollywood's most gifted and enduring characteractresses, Miss Moorehead was a very private personand consequently very little was previously knownabout her personal life. Through interviews withAgnes' friends and co-workers and unprecedented accessto Miss Moorehead's vast archive of personal documentsand correspondence, Charles Tranberg has created acomprehensive portrait of this enigmatic star,allowing the reader to gain a much betterunderstanding of both the life and career of AgnesMoorehead. The book contains numerous surprises, andAgnes emerges as a fascinating contradiction in terms,very much like her best known role as Endora on theclassic sitcom "Bewitched". Unlike most biographers,Mr. Tranberg wisely refrains from judging andinterpreting Miss Moorehead's actions, allowing hisreaders to draw their own conclusions instead. This isa refreshing approach to a biography, as manybiographers pass judgement on their subjects and tainttheir narrative with personal opinion. Mr. Tranbergalso doesn't shy away from controversial subjectmatter, and he approaches the topic of Moorehead'slong-rumoured lesbian proclivities with factualhonesty and respect.
