Bewitched Trivia

#1 Post by Estonut » Wed Dec 07, 2016 7:25 pm

I hate those articles that are headlined "20 Things You Never Knew About ...", as they are usually wrong. I looked at one today that was about Bewitched and Elizabeth Montgomery, titled "Bewitched: What Really Happened Behind the Scenes."

There were 2 pages that were informative to me and I thought that some here might find interesting:

Bewitched in the Twilight Zone
Almost all the main characters of Bewitched have separately starred in episodes of The Twilight Zone. These actors include Dick York, Agnes Moorehead, David White, Sandra Gould, Alice Pearce, Dick Wilson, and Elizabeth Montgomery.

Montgomery starred in the premiere of the third season in 1961, in what was The Twilight Zone‘s 66th episode. The episode, titled “Two,” features a man and a woman who find themselves in an abandoned, war-torn town. The man and the woman walk around the deserted city, living off what they can find, and learning to live with each other since they are the only ones left.

Young Endora
Before she was everyone’s favorite sister, Marcia Brady, she was a little witch! Maureen McCormick was featured in two episodes of Bewitched when she was a young girl. Both times she played a younger version of Samantha’s mother, Endora.

In the first episode, she played Samantha and Darrin’s daughter in a fantasy sequence. In the episode, they name the daughter after her maternal grandmother. In the second episode that McCormick was in, she actually played a younger version of Endora, when she is transformed into a little girl because of witchcraft. This was McCormick’s first notable television appearance and her career has only skyrocketed from there.

Agnes Moorehead starred in one of my all time favorite Zone episodes and the one that, when I saw it the first time as a young person, absolutely blew me away and turned me on to the series. In "The Invaders" she plays a lonely farm woman (with perfect nails it might be added) who has tiny aliens land on the roof of her house. Moorehead doesn't speak a word the entire episode and yet gives a tour de force performance as she fights them off. Outstanding television.

I saw about five Twilight Zones episodes, and the Dick York episode was one of them. He was no Burgess Meredith, but I thought him a very capable actor.

Agnes Moorehead was a stupendous talent. She was nominated for four Oscars (actress in a supporting role) but did not win. I've seen Johnny Belinda and started Mrs. Parkington but had to leave about 20 minutes into it. Six decades of performing! She was amazing.
