The TV series Bewitched, which aired from 1964 to 1972, captivated audiences with its whimsical premise of a witch, Samantha Stephens, trying to live a normal life as a housewife. Played by the enchanting Elizabeth Montgomery, Samantha became an iconic character, especially with her signature nose twitch. Montgomery, born in 1933 to actor Robert Montgomery, had a promising career from a young age. She debuted on her father’s show before making her mark in television and film, starring in various roles beyond Bewitched, such as The Legend of Lizzie Borden and A Case of Rape. Despite her success, Montgomery remained humble, acknowledging her father’s influence on her career.
Off-screen, Montgomery had a complex personal life, marrying four times and raising three children. She transitioned smoothly from sitcom fame to becoming a leading actress in TV movies. Sadly, in 1995, she lost her battle with colon cancer, passing away peacefully with her loved ones by her side. Her legacy as a talented and beloved actress continues to endure, with Bewitched remaining a cherished classic. Montgomery’s impact on television and film ensures she is fondly remembered by fans worldwide.
