"She wanted his love," Macomb County Assistant Prosecutor Steve Fox told a circuit court jury Wednesday. "He wanted a new life. He wanted to get rid of his overweight wife and get something better."

In an interview given later in his life, Dave Fleischer recalled: "I didn't want to make 'Superman.' Paramount wanted it. I told them because it was too expensive, they wouldn't make any money back on it. The average short cost nine or ten thousand dollars, some ran up to fifteen. I couldn't figure how to make 'Superman' look right without spending a lot of money. I told them they'd have to spend $90,000 on each one … [and] they spent the $90,000. But they were great."
"One of my favorite thrillers is Ira Levin's A KISS BEFORE DYING, because right in the middle of the novel…well, the cliche phrase would be, 'Levin pulls the rug right out from under you,' but that doesn't do his legendary plot twist justice," said Swierczynski. "Forget the rug being pulled out from under you… when you reach that point in KISS, it's as if someone's rolled up that rug and proceeded to use it to beat the living crap out of you.
