An out of this world creature like a witch marrying an ordinary man and wanting to lead just a normal life of a typical housewife sounds like something I would like to see unfolding on the TV screens. But wait, the series Bewitched which ran for eight seasons between 1964 and 1972 is exactly about that. If you haven’t seen it yet, maybe you should search it and check it out.
In the show, the role of charming Samantha Stephens, who enchanted millions with her nose twitch, was played by gorgeous Elizabeth Montgomery. This actress rose to stardom in the 1960s, but her life ended way too early in a tragic manner.
Montgomery was born in Los Angeles on April 15, 1933 to a Broadway actress and film star. Her father was proclaimed actor Robert Montgomery and she followed into his footsteps.
“Dad tells me I often climbed on his lap after dinner and remarked, ‘I’m going to be an actress when I grow up.’ I don’t know whether he encouraged me or not, but he told me he would humor me and would tell me to wait and see what happened when I grew up,” the actress said in 1954 interview with the Los Angeles Times.
