Bewitched
Wow, remember the hit show Bewitched from back in the 60’s and 70’s! It’s been a while since they began airing the show about the adorable witch Samantha and her normal mortal husband Darrin. Everyone could not get over Samantha, played by Elizabeth Montgomery, and her magical escapades. How about those nose wiggles? Between the fun characters and all the wild magic, the show was a clear hit! I mean, the show became the longest-running supernatural-themed show of its time. Bewitched ran for eight seasons, and people are still enjoying the reruns.
Even though you may have watched the entire series, there are many things that fans never knew about the show. From the character of Tabitha and what really happened to her to the reason why the show finally ended, the producers kept these secrets hidden. Now, it’s time to reveal the lesser known facts about Bewitched.
What was it about Bewitched? The idea of a mortal man dating an extraordinary witch? Was it Elizabeth Montgomery’s on-screen chemistry with actor Dick York and later Dick Sargent? Yes, there were two actors who played Darrin, but we’ll get to that. Maybe it was the hilarious idea that her magical family did not approve of the intermarriage. Despite being about the supernatural, much of the themes reflected real life struggles. Also how funny was it to imagine these young actresses really being hundreds of years old? Now, it’s time to get into all the behind the scenes information on your favorite old sitcom about the lovable witch, Samantha!
The Many Faces Of Elizabeth Montgomery
Yes of course, Elizabeth Montgomery played our favorite witch, Samantha in Bewitched. However, actresses always need to be quite flexible in television, and Elizabeth Montgomery was fully prepared to handle this. Thus, she also played the part of Samantha’s cousin named Serena. You remember Serena! She was a hippie and more progressive witch who really annoyed Samantha. However, did you notice that Serena’s mark on her cheek changed shape every episode from things like a fish to heart? Even though the resemblance is unmistakable, when Elizabeth Montgomery first put on her Serena wig, she fooled some of the show’s staff. In the credits, Serena’s role was credited to ‘Pandora Spocks,’ which was a play on Pandora’s Box.
