Everyone knows Elizabeth Montgomery from her 8 seasons on Bewitched, but her career stretched far beyond Samantha’s twitch. Born into a show‑business family, she was the daughter of actor Robert Montgomery and Broadway performer Elizabeth Allen.
She earned a Theater World Award for her 1956 Broadway debut, picked up an Emmy nomination for The Untouchables, and later surprised audiences with sharp dramatic turns like The Legend of Lizzie Borden.
In 2005, her legacy got a permanent nod with a bronze Samantha statue in Salem.
