She became a household name & global phenomenon but her sudden death shocked us all

When you hear the name Elizabeth Montgomery, you can’t help but recall the little sparkle that accompanied her character’s nose twitch on Bewitched.

In the 1960s, the lovely actress rose to prominence as a household name and global phenomenon; however, she died suddenly in 1995.

We’ve written about many beautiful and talented women, but Ms. Montgomery captured my young heart from the beginning!

Most film and television actors and actresses rely on cosmetics and hair professionals to make them look attractive; Elizabeth did not. She had innate beauty, and I adored seeing her on Bewitched.

So, what happened to Elizabeth Montgomery after her stint as Samantha Stephens in the 1960s sitcom?

The famous actress would have aged 90 in 2023, but let us take a look back at her film and television career before to her tragic death in 1995.

Elizabeth Montgomery was born in Los Angeles on April 15, 1933, to a Broadway actress and film star, so acting was in her blood from birth.

“Dad says I often climbed on his lap after dinner and said, ‘I’m going to be an actress when I grow up.'” In 1954, Elizabeth told the Los Angeles Times, “I’m not sure if he supported me or not, but he said he’d humor me and tell me to wait and see what happened when I grew up.”

Her father, Robert Montgomery, was a well-known and famous actor.

“I’ll be honest and say that Daddy did help me get a break in television, and I’m extremely grateful for his help and guidance. He’s my harshest critic, but he’s also a genuine friend and loving parent.”

Elizabeth attended school in California before transferring to New York City and attending the Spence School. After graduation, she studied at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts for three years.

When she was a youngster, she made her television debut on her father’s show, Robert Montgomery Presents. She continued to make appearances on his show.

Starring in Bewitched

Elizabeth Montgomery appeared in Alfred Hitchcock Presents, The Loretta Young Show, The Untouchables, and The Twilight Zone, but her most well-known performance was as the nose-twitching witch Samantha Stephens on Bewitched.

The spooky comedy, which ran for eight seasons from 1964 to 1972, catapulted Elizabeth into the spotlight.

Samantha quickly became a household name, and everyone attempted to emulate her famed nose twitch.

The actress had been battling the disease for years and thought she was cancer-free, but she became ill while filming Deadline for Murder: From the Files of Edna Buchanan.

It was too late by the time she could get checked out in March 1995. The ca::ncer has spread to her liver.

Elizabeth died while sleeping at home in Beverly Hills, surrounded by her husband and three children. One month following her passing, a memorial service was conducted at Beverly Hills’ Canon Theatre. Herbie Hancock, a well-known jazz musician, performed music, while author Dominick Dunne, Elizabeth’s lifelong friend, discussed their early acquaintance when they resided in New York City.

The Bewitched star’s body was cremated at Los Angeles’ Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery.

In a 1992 interview, Elizabeth stated that she had played a range of personalities during her career.

“They all have different ‘feels’ to them, which is probably why I did them. I get messages from people expressing that one of their favorite aspects of what I’ve done since ‘Bewitched’ is that they never know what I’ll do next.”
