This lighthearted, fast-paced memoir chronicles Norma’s twenty-four years as the host and producer of KRTV’s award-winning Today in Montana show, the longest running locally produced program in Montana television history. This anecdotal history begins in 1962 in a Quonset hut and ends in a million-dollar building. Featuring nearly one hundred photographs, Movie Stars and Rattlesnakes takes the reader on a journey that starts with Norma’s first frightening minutes in front of the camera and details her unique experiences, including a fire on the set, an interview in the old Montana State Prison, and an encounter with a twelve-foot python.
