Catherine Bell of “Good Witch” Says it Takes More than Spells to Succeed

In what has to be the chicest tent ever pitched, one replete with a caviar bar and a massive chandelier, partygoers clink champagne flutes and try to pet Happy the Dog, Hallmark Channel’s mascot.  It’s Crown Media Family Networks’ twice-yearly, all-star celebration of its programming, and in this glam crowd, where so many actresses are petite blondes, Catherine Bell, statuesque and raven-haired, stands apart.  She rocks a black, off-the-shoulder jumpsuit -- not an easy look to pull off -- with the élan of the model she once was.  Over the years, we’ve chatted many times about her work as an actress, but tonight we’re talking about what it means to be an executive producer.  Before her series Good Witch returns for its fifth season, premiering over two nights, June 9 and 10, Bell shared her feelings with MediaVillage.
