With love, to the living:
SID STEBEL, who showed me how to solve my own mystery;
ALEXANDRA, my daughter,
who cleaned up after us.
And to the dead:
FEDERICO FELLINI, ROUBEN MAMOULIAN, GEORGE CUKOR, JOHN HUSTON, BILL SKALL, FRITZ LANG, JAMES WONG HOWE, and GEORGE BURNS, who told me that I was a writer when I was fourteen.
And to
RAY HARRYHAUSEN, for obvious reasons.
