Elizabeth Montgomery, who played nose-twitching suburban sorceress Samantha Stephens in "Bewitched," died in 1995 at age 62. She was the daughter of actor Robert Montgomery.
"I was happy to be able to do some of the after-school things, things I couldn’t do while I was on the show," the actress explained. "There are some restrictions when you’re a kid actor. I couldn’t play sports … and ended up with a black eye. So, I was kind of happy in some ways that the show ended. I missed the day-to-day on the set because I loved it, and I loved the people that I worked with. And it was a fun experience. But I was also a kid. I was happy that I could do more things with my friends." Stephanie Nolasco covers entertainment at Foxnews.com.
"Bewitched" told the tale of a nose-twitching suburban sorceress (Elizabeth Montgomery) who was married to a wary mortal. The series, which premiered in 1964, was an instant hit, ranking second only to "Bonanza" in its first season.
Montgomery, who charmed audiences by solving comedic problems with magic, died in 1995. She would have turned 90 April 15.
