Elizabeth Montgomery, born April 15, 1933, in Los Angeles, came from a family of actors and began her career early in film and TV.
Her most iconic role was Samantha Stevens in Bewitched (1964–1972), a sitcom blending magic and comedy. Samantha, a kind witch married to mortal Darrin
(played by Dick York and later Dick Sargent), tried to live a normal life, often leading to humorous situations when her powers caused trouble.
Montgomery’s charm, wit, and grace made the show a hit, and her famous nose twitch became a TV classic
. Beyond Bewitched, she showcased her versatility in TV movies, stage roles, and serious dramas, earning respect as a talented actress.
Off-screen, Montgomery was admired for her activism. She championed civil rights, women’s rights, and equality, using her fame to promote social justice.
Elizabeth Montgomery passed away on May 18, 1995, but her work endures. Bewitched continues to enchant new generations,
keeping her spirit alive. The next time you see Samantha’s magical antics, remember the woman behind the role
— Elizabeth Montgomery, a timeless television icon whose blend of talent and heart left a lasting mark on entertainment.
