Elizabeth Montgomery and Her Most Famous TV Role
Magical themes abound in the magical life and career of Elizabeth Montgomery, who starred as twitch-witch Samantha Stephens on the 1964–1972 television classic, Bewitched. She followed in the spotlight footsteps her parents — film and television star Robert Montgomery and Broadway actress Elizabeth Allen — while Bewitched was replicated by TV shows like I Dream of Jeannie, Nanny and the Professor, as well as the short-lived late 1970’s Bewitched spin-off Tabitha, which featured Lisa Hartman as the grown-up edition of Samantha’s daughter (originally played by twins Erin and Diane Murphy).
