“I'm a firm believer that we all have the ability to evolve and not allow mistakes made in our pasts to define who we are in the present. Even former National Enquirer reporter, William Keck, with whom I crossed paths many years ago. I applaud the mission to offer transparency, make amends and heal old wounds, in his book, When You Step Upon A Star.” -- Lindsay Wagner (The Bionic Woman) |

“I thought I knew everything there was to know about Will Keck from our years working together on Home & Family. But until I read When You Step Upon A Star, I had no idea that while I was interviewing stars for Entertainment Tonight, he was hiding in trees and stealing celebrities’ garbage to land Hollywood scoops of his own.” — Mark Steines, TV Host (Entertainment Tonight) |

“When I was making Lost, I crossed paths with Will Keck, who was covering our show for USA Today and TV Guide. Will was smart, engaging and witty, and he worked hard to bring his publications interesting and fresh scoops … Ironically, I was so busy making the show that I knew almost nothing about what was going on in the private lives of our actors. So I when found myself reading Will’s stories, I discovered he always knew way more about their private lives than I did. He also pressed me and my showrunning partner, Damon, for information. His questions went right to the heart of the story stuff we were trying to keep secret. It was always a challenge for us to protect ourselves from his snooping, but at the end of the day he respected the stuff that really needed to be kept secret, and we were grateful for all the coverage and attention Will gave to our show.”
— Carlton Cuse (Showrunner, Lost)

“The confessions recounted in William Keck’s When You Step Upon A Star tell the story of a former tabloid bad boy uncovering personal secrets of Hollywood’s most notable and infamous figures...This just shows me that we all deserve the space and opportunity to evolve and show the most authentic versions of ourselves. I wish him all the best on his literary debut. Welcome to the club!” — Barbara Eden (I Dream of Jeannie) |
