Then he said he was reminded of an episode he shared with the late actress Elizabeth Montgomery, whom he described as a friend of his and a "big sports fan (boxing, hoops)." They once sat together on a plane ride.

"Every 30 seconds somebody else comes up to her and says, 'Excuse me, Miss Montgomery, could you please do that little thing with your nose that you used to do on 'Bewitched?' And every time, she does it. Half an hour into this, I can't stand it anymore.

"'Lizzie,' " I say, 'The next one who asks, I'm going to kill with my bare hands.' She gets very serious. 'Oh no, Keith. You must remember, when they do that, either they remember what you did from years ago -- it touched them and they remember -- and that's the ultimate success in your craft; or, they saw a re-run last night on cable and that means you're going to be getting another check soon.'"
