ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I would like to give special thanks to many people who supplied invaluable assistance during the research and preparation of this book: the incomparable Don Weise, who launched this project and offered support, kind words, and encouragement from start to finish; the unflappable Jonathan Crowe, who very patiently and thoughtfully answered my countless questions; Bruce Shenitz, who kept asking me about that Vincente Minnelli biography I planned to write someday, and who proved to be a terrific little matchmaker; Ms. Karen Richards, research assistant extraordinaire (whether it was The Fundamental Principles of Balaban & Katz Theatre Management, Peter Bogdanovich’s birthdate, or a listing in the 1926 Illinois Bell white pages, you somehow found anything and everything that I asked for; as I said innumerable times, I couldn’t have done this without you); Dell Lemmon, for divine intervention whenever I needed it; Paula J. Carter, for her captivating caricature of Mr. Minnelli and his trio of screen goddesses; Bingo wizard Greg Astor, for getting me an agent; Dan Works, the information technology oracle, (who made sure hundreds of hours of interviews were kept safe and sound); and Keary Nichols, who gave his all and then some more.
