Agnes Moorehead was, is and will always be one of the classiest actress's that ever graced Hollywood with their presence.
Agree with you. I know she hated that roll and you CAN'T tell ever that she did not like playing samantha's mother. She liked working with DARWOOD . L0L. OVER DICK SARGENT. THE WHOLE CAST WAS REAL GOOD AND CONVINCING. MY FAVORITE 2 - WAS GLADIS KRAVITZ. AND OF COURSE AUNT CLAIRE.
I met Liz in her home in 1981 when I was a 12 year old boy .. my moms friend was lizs governest for 10 years and lived in the suite atop the 4 car garage beside lizs home. I also met Rebecca her real daughter , we played around the yard and went inside the house. I met Liz and spoke with her,,she was very kind and so beautiful . She was preparing for some dinner guests. I remover going from the kitchen into the main living room. I saw wall to floor photos of Liz and other famous people . The home was also very beautiful . It is something I will always cherish
Wait! What?? U met her? What was she like? Do tell..... details
Also met beautiful Liz twice. First in 1978 in Chicago at a cast viewing of her mini series " The Awakening Land" and then in the early 90's about 1991 after her appearing in the play "Love Letters"! She was sweet and beautiful both times. Will never forget her!
@@sheldoncooper1134 I never knew about her mini series. Wow! Thanks for the share
Lucky. I want to meet jet in heaven. I wish i could have in the 99s b4 she passed away. Not fair.
So lucky to have met her :)
I LOVED this show growing up. So creative and fun. Thursday nights meant That Girl and Bewitched! Glad I grew up on those shows.
Elizabeth Montgomery = Pure Class & Elegance
@Sandra Jones Agree - Barbara was perfect as Jeanie, but Elizabeth was a far better actress, making Bewitched (a ridiculous premise) seem viable. I always wondered why Elizabeth Montgomery didn't make movies after the series (like Mary Tyler Moore, etc.)
Yes!
So true , and I'm glad I was born in the 50s and got to watch bewitched,
Elizabeth Montgomery was a beautiful lady inside and out.
@@jtrain5615 oh but she did you tube has them all
She was an amazing, flawless actress. Beautiful. She was my idol, along with Marlo Thomas and Barbara Eden. Oh, and I couldn't accept anyone but the original Darren...Dick York!
Amen
@Mary C Let me correct you. Dick Sargent was not openly gay. Back then, someone who came out could have lost their jobs (not likely in the entertainment industry) or, in some parts of the country, have been arrested.
Sargent's biography for BEWITCHED listed a phony wife, which meant Sargent couldn't even be open about his private life, if he'd wanted to be. Liz knew Sargent was gay and never pushed it. She respected his privacy. Dick Sargent and his partner had to live in the "closet" because of the Puritanical attitudes in some parts of the country at the time, and still exists to this day.
If you'd like to see an interview with Dick Sargent, there is one where he explains the situation out here on UA-cam, look for the documentaries on BEWITCHED done in 1999 by A&E and E:, if you haven't seen them. There are interviews with Liz Montgomery, including a two-part audio interview where she discussed BEWITCHED in part two, heaping praise on the cast and crew.
Finally, from what I've heard, Paul Lynde was openly gay and didn't care. Sargent was "forced" to come out because The Star magazine was about to print an article outting him. At an event Sargent finally came out. He received a multi-minute standing ovation. That's when he was asked to see if Liz would co-marshal the 1992 gay rights parade with him. According to her son Billy, she felt that it was something she wanted to do, and did. Liz was way ahead of her time in her support of AIDS research and gay rights and the rights of all people. I remind you of SISTERS AT HEART and the African-American students who came up with the groundbreaking idea. Oh, it was Liz Montgomery's favorite episode. For me this episode and A IS FOR AARDVARK define what BEWITCHED was all about.
I haven't read where Liz didn't like Dick York. Did she say something in one of Herbie Pilato's books? He was actually a very nice guy, as was Sargent. York had nothing but kind words for the BEWITCHED cast and crew. He actually called Liz but she was out. He didn't say if she got back with him or not. Search for York's interview here on UA-cam.
oh yes. Everyone was great in original cast. Ratings started dropping when poor Dick York had to leave due to health. Sargent was charisma challenged
Kerry Keene You are right about everything from what I have read. For some people TRY to push this Liz did not like Dick York junk. 1 short term hired production team member said that. Dick was PIVOTAL to the show, and Liz darn well knew their chemistry was magic. Ratings dropped when he left and that is a fact.
@@MTknitter22 Sorry, hon. Third season producer William Froug stated clearly in his autobiography that Liz "couldn't stand" York and was witness to a private meeting with executive producer Harry Ackerman in which he stated, "We have to get rid of HIM!" And that was at the end of season two! It was Asher who advised Liz that York was too valuable to the series. York was very talented, and a good man, but Liz had genuine reason to dislike his presence. It's a very long story, and a sad one.
ONE OF MY FAVORITE SHOWS AS A KID
Oh man I grew up on shows like this thinking the actors and actresses would be around for ever sad to say there all gone.makes me feel old
Yes I have gotten so depressed over the many many deaths of actors and actresses I grew up with from 50s-70s TV. I still cannot believe Mary Tyler Moore is gone, Rhoda, Batman and Batgirl, Elly May Clampett, Willona from Good Times, Tracey and Keith from the Partridge Family, Millie Helper and Sally Rogers from the Dick Van Dyke Show, etc., etc.
I think the actresses who played the daughter, Tabitha, and the actor who played the son, Adam, are still living. I think Diane and Erin Murphy(Tabitha)are in their mid to late 50s, and David Lawrence(Adam)is in his late 40s or early 50s.
I know what you mean. I'm 63 years old now and all of the legendary actors and actresses are gone. And yes it makes me feel old too. I remember my parents commenting about their favorite stars of their day being gone. It's s generational thing I guess.
Well we are getting to the age where none of us are young if we remember this show for sure . Maybe with gene therapy we can stay young longer who knows 😂.
rtususian : Ruben from the Partridge Family is gone, too
Barry, even the most die-hard fan of Bewitched should be satisfied with the sheer number of stills you have presented here!! Thanks so much for going to all this trouble.
Yes and I call myself one of them! These are AWESOME!
Yes, Barry! THANK YOU SO MUCH! Wow, this is so magnificent to watch and I love the music too. I am a forever diehard fan, just love this show and Elizabeth Montgomery so much.
Elizabeth Montgomery was a beautiful woman.
So beautiful, classy and elegant.
100% agree the 1970s Beauty.
@@markmace2113 imo 1970s had better fashion than today.
I was just thinking the same thing .
A beautiful voice too. Speaking
I didn't think I'd like to watch a bunch of stills; thought it'd be boring. But wow! These were anything but! Such memories from my youth. And so interesting to see. Thank you!
I grew up with this show. There were 254 episodes but what I find weird is how certain actors can make such a big impression. Maurice Evans was only on 12 episodes, Paul Lynde was only on 11 episodes but it seems like they were on the show dozens of times.
Liz’s stand in (or ‘back double’) was Melody McCord. If you want to see her full face, she is Sleeping Beauty in the Prince Charming episode.
For me there was only ever I Darrin , the lovely Dick York , may he RIP .
Oh, Yeah!!
Will always love Elizabeth Montgomery and this show. Elizabeth was always a breath of fresh air. So charming, intelligent and beautiful! And proved to be one hell.of a great actress with her TV movies after "Bewitched"!!!
Dick York and Agnes Moorehead we're great friends on the show.
I love the Christmas episodes because of the tree reminds me of when I was young the sixties and seventies trees were the best before got way too commercial in my eyes. Bewitched had the exact trees that I would love to have every year for my home the same exact decorations. I love you Santa Claus.
Loved this show used to watch it as a kid in the eighties. Always wanted a wife like Samantha lol
I named my daughter after bewitches character Samantha that is how much I loved her
This was really cool. They looked like they had a lot of fun on set! Elizabeth is stunning. Thank you for this!
It's a credit 2 all involved that this show seemed very real 2 all of us .We loved it and looked forward 2 it each week, now enjoying reruns.
If you love what you do specially if good at it for loved by all the majority except haters ofc who are of no consequence & recieved well by the majority & passionate as well as take it as fun playing then you moat certainly will feel great & have fun.
This show made me so happy! I loved them all!!
Like so many boys in the 60's I fell totally in love with Elizabeth and she really formed my notion of humour and feminine beauty!
Was it a bad thing consisting of stereotypes? No I am glad, she was wonderful and beautiful!
Thanks for posting.
Elizabeth adored Marion Lorne, Maurice Evans, Alice Pearce and Paul Lynde......years later she re-connected with Dick Sargent and became close friends and was very supportive of him
Yet she totally ignored Dick York after he left the series and during his battle with a debilitating spine injury, prescription drug effects and emphysema. He states in one of his interviews that he loves “Liz” and when asked, he says, “No”, she hasn’t been in touch”. I find that astounding and sours my view of the ‘darling” Montgomery.
@@richparsons4205 I had heard that too, that Dick York never saw her again after his last day of shooting.
@@richparsons4205 I agree!
@@richparsons4205 well rich that answered my question I was wondering , folks pick and choose. Liz made millions while he wound up broke. I would've helped him She couldn't understand that he had her back. Just cause he really liked her wow, aww I'll text this Rich, hut at vf the endhe had no reason to sleep with bv the director Michaels in '71.
My most favourite show. Could sit and watch episode after episode even if it was the same one again. Bewitched and Star Trek stole my heart.
Elizabeth was so beautiful and dick York was adorable, so nerdy but cute and Agnes was stunning even later in life . What a wholesome show! Even though I grew up in the 80s and 90s I still love this show ! Always reminds me of time with my grandma
5:10 - a rare shot indeed. You see Erin in red and her twin sister Diane in Navy. They were interchangeably used in season 3 and 4, but then only Erin was used outside of one episode when she had the mumps. Diane started looking a lot different at that point. Also pictured is "Adam", David and Greg Lawrence. This is around the end of the run. They had completed filiming shows in December 1971 despite the shows not airing until March 1972.
Good show despite the 'suspension of disbelief'. I looked forward to seeing it every week. Her and Barbara Eden, GRRRRRRR....l also loved when Endora called Darren 'Dustbin' or 'Durwood'. Lol.
Barry, what a dynamic presentation! Thank you so much for posting it!
What a wonderful tribute to not only the show itself, but to all who made it possible.... from the actors to those behind the scenes. Bewitched is one of the best TV shows out there. Sad knowing most all the original cast members are now gone... but what a legacy they left behind.
That was a great era, loved the show and many others at that time.
I enjoyed this video. Elizabeth Montgomery was one of the most beautiful women Ive ever seen
Beautiful memories, brought me back to my childhood. Thank you for putting this together, well done including the music selection.
Nice!
WE watched this show and never missed one episode.
The writing, cast and these still now, make it Iconic, as if it wasn't already!
Remarkable pics!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I love this show! They all had Style, Elegance Class and it looked like family fun🌹❣️
This was a tribute that was well deserved, and perfectly presented - THUMBS UP
Yes , thumbs way up !
So Touching... So Love all of them... So LOVED THE SHOW! What TALENTS!! TOO MANY GREATS GONE!!! Glad they were all in My Life! God Bless All Their Magic!!
Isn't this nice memories now become memories I hope they have these somewhere showing in the museum to show they never forget bewatched!
Very nice memories. We're so glad that we live them. And watching this show it is still love no matter what, how time has flown by and you still never get tired of watching the shows!
Elizabeth Montgomery is the reason I watched Bewitched
How much I wish they all were alive! Makes me feel life is so short and death is a reality! Love this show and love the cast! I see myself browsing through Getty images for bewitched pictures now ! Love this show!
I surely miss Bewtched. I remember way back then when i was a kid. I am always looking forward at night to watch this wonderful TV show. I miss all the casts, they surely makes me laugh even when i watch a little here and there in youtube. Remember how life is so simple.
Elizabeth Montgomery was (when alive) my favorite Actress while I grew up because of her dedication and determination. If you don't have skill you have no experience. Bewitched showed her dynamic ability to entertain and that was wonderful. God bless her.
I loved this show then and now. I get a kick out of Endora and Maurice constantly getting Darrin's name wrong. Endora said Durwood alot and I thought I'd die when Maurice addressed him as Dolphin. Haha
And Darwin
This series has been my go to in lockdown. So timeless.
I would watch this each morning while eating my breakfast before catching the school bus. The first Darrin, Dick York was my favorite. Then one morning, it was the second Darrin, Dick Sargent which ruined my mornings before school. Now that I'm older, I like both Darrin. Plus as I would watch the morning show of BeWitched, I remember watching it at night once a week on ABC. It was still airing new season and episode until March of 1972, I was 5 years old in kindergarten. Yes, I barely remember it coming on once a night cause I would have to go to bed as soon it was over, from 8:00 o'clock to 8:30 pm.
Wow, at the mark of 4:38, Agnes Moorehead was Beautiful young looking. But I always thought she was beautiful even on BeWitched.
ELIZABETH MONTGOMERY was and always will be our American Princess !💓
Thank you so much for this fantastic upload. From a kid till now Bewitched is
still one of my all time faves. I have the box and still watch them when the
mood takes me. I have to say, Dick York is my favorite Darrin.
That photo of Tabitha with her "grandma," Endora, in those pink dresses -- adorable. It's not hard to imagine them as real grandma and granddaughter.
Thank you!! i watch the reruns Mon-Fri. Never get tired of seeing this show.
Thank you Barry, this was great like looking at a family photo album form long ago.
When we got Roku I binge watched Bewitched every week end.. Really love this show. JUst wish they'd had done a finalle' so we know that they all lived happily ever after, ya know?
She wasn't waving to fans...SHE WAS GIVING THE PEACE SIGN!!!
A true treasure! Thank you Bewitched and to those Wherever You Are whenever you are and however you are! Semper Fidelis!
For me, the most memorable part of the show was Agnes Moorehead's character of Endora. Apparently, she had no love for the role or the show as she had a long career on stage, film, and radio and had more rewarding projects in the past. I loved her interpretation of Endora....even if she didn't. She dominated every scene she was in.
Amazingly talented and stunningly beautiful, I could look at pictures of Ms. Montgomery all day!
There wasn't a character that I disliked. They all did a phenomenal job. I'm 62 years old, and I love the show in the 60s and I love it now.
1:37 Stunning,classic 60’s beauty. Miss the safe times we watched this as kids in our “jammies”, I’m 64 today and really enjoyed living those times. 4:00 Boyce& Hart, guest appearance/ song writers for many groups of the day, including The Monkees. 5:35 Oh, my! Scrumptious! 9:40 A real Queen 👑 19:45 No words needed. 🌹🌹
I've seen hundreds of "behind the scenes" still shots in many videos and documentaries - but I've NEVER seen any of these.. What a treat and a great tribute to one of my favorite shows of all times.. Wow.. How uplifting.
Elizabeth Montgomery was a perfect illustration/ reflection of society's shift from 50s class and sophistication to the carefree and chic 60s. Neither was a bad thing, just the next thing
THANK YOU BARRY... although it was a life time ago, it feels as if it were yesterday... I so enjoyed watching your video... it brought back so many memories... Ms. Montgomery was a BEAUTIFUL WOMAN inside and out... sadly she has left us, but her spirit and beauty is still with us ALWAYS!!!...BRAVO BARRYWELL DONE YOU!!!!
Absolutely lovely. Thank you so much for this.
Elizabeth Montgomery is the most beautiful woman to ever be on a television series.
When I was a child, a family friend who was a police officer provided Elizabeth Montgomery with protection. According to him, she was one of the two most beautiful women he had ever seen. The other was Barbara Eden. As I grew up I fell in love with Bewitched and felt so sad when she passed. Truly an angel on earth.
A Beautiful Woman and a Beautiful Show. Thank You for posting this! I love it!
Your knowledge and expertise of "Bewitched" is wonderful! Thank you for sharing it with us.
Gorgeous talented woman with so much love within her heart
I loved elizabeth mongromery. She was such a beautiful actress. So talented!
All these great pictures! Frozen moments in time. When they were all young and vibrant. Just the way you want to remember them!
Thank you so much! That was a joy! Wonderful photos, lovely music and some fascinating captions. A great tribute.
These stills are fabulous and I loved your music too! Makes me so sentimental for that time. As a childhood fan watching this show in the early 1970s, the music and the stills bring back so many fond memories of the most beautiful time in history. We didn’t realise how lucky we were back then to have had the childhoods and the world as it was then. The 1970s were the best time to be a kid. By the 1980s, the new world with its technology and vulgarity had come in. But the early 70s were the last time the world was still a bit innocent. I know the show began in the 60s but I wasn’t born until the late 60s and in Australia we got Bewitched as reruns but as a kid who knew when it was! It all felt so new and wonderful. In a digital age now people forget how incredible all those special effects (done by hand and with strings) seemed to us as kids! The magic was just gobsmacking to us and we were so excited to watch it. All of that has been forgotten now in an age when everything on screen is possible. But there was a time, and a world, when things and people and places still seemed so amazing. That is not the world you live in now.
Loved Elizabeth, loved the whole crew, loved the show. 70's and 80's nothing but the best.
Very nice. I'm grateful for all the memories of watching this show as a child.
I love this show so much so many nice memories
Agnes was a babe back in the day too 💕
At 16:15 I'm pretty sure the little girl witch in the foreground is Maureen McCormick (Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!)
Yes, it certainly is!
I enjoy spotting the Brady Bunch kids in TV shows PRIOR to The Brady Bunch. Maureen was on Bewitched, Greg Brady was on a Mission Impossible, Jan Brady played a girl in a wheelchair in an episode of Family Affair in a Xmas episode from 1968. Incidentally, Danny Bonaduce of the Partridge Family was also on Bewitched.
S R she was also in an episode of ‘I Dream of Jeannie.’
Chapman yes. Jeannie was a nurse & walked into her hospital room and blinked a room full of dolls for her if I recall.
Chapman same here.
So funny, smart and beautiful Elizabeth was. Thanks for sharing this rare find!
Thank you! and You're welcome
Thank you! My all time favorite childhood show...Memories..
Mine to it was the best show
Thank You for sharing. Reliving my childhood.
What a gift for all “Bewitched” fans and particularly for fans of the lovely and enchanting Miss Montgomery. I particularly enjoyed the added bonus of seeing a very young “Marcia Brady” ( Maureen McCormick) at 16:15 through 16:30. This was one of her first, if not indeed her actual first, television appearance. But the caption at 12:30 is wrong. The character’s name is “Serena,” not “Sabrina.” Thanks for such lovely memories!
"Bewitched" always makes me smile! 😍
Misty eyed watching this, forever apart of my 60s and early to mid 70s childhood TV viewing, Liz Montgomery was stunning and so was Agnes Moorhead, the only "Endora", really liked Dick York as Darren and was sad when he had to be replaced, he and Liz had more chemistry and really seemed like a real married couple more so than she and Dick Sargent...
1968. Snow day. Tomato soup and grilled cheese, and Bewitched...
Oh so true
Sad how Dick York’s life took a turn for the worse after he left the show.
You are beyond cute!
It will a turn for the worst while he was on the show
@@windstorm1000 yep
I feel sad watching these images. So many died young of cancers and other illnesses. A wonderful show & magnificent actors.
Liz Montgomery, the sweetest, sexiest and most beautiful woman in tv history. Forever in love with her, bewitched by her.
What a beautiful montage of stills and photos. A wonderful tribute to this fine program and all who participated and watched. Bravo
She was just lovely
She was so elegant and poised. Gone to soon.
I’ve been rewatching the show Liz Montgomery was one of the best actors in whatever she did there’s no one like her …
Thanks for sharing this. Even as a pre-teen I was enthralled with Liz. What a talent. Great show. Great casting. Always fun to watch.
Just love it ❤️
Thanks for bringing those memories (although I was born many years after bewitched was in TV , I saw the series 5 years ago and I got bewitched!!) 👏😍
You are very welcome
@@bpintar How about doing a video of my favorite t.v. show, Get Smart?
Too bad Dick York's back problems forced him to quit the series. Dick Sargent just didn't cut it as Darrin no. 2.
Me too, I'm an Xennial!
Elizabeth Montgomery was so lovely. This was my favorite show in childhood. I came home from kindergarten and ate my lunch in front of the tv.
Forever missed 💔
That was super great. I love everything about Bewitched that you do. These behind the scenes photos were amazing to see. Erin Murphy in her interviews always talks about the family-like atmosphere on set and she said she kept in touch with Liz and Dick York and Agnes Moorehead was so good to her. I can sense the amount of fun they must have had doing the show. Thanks for this!!
you are very welcome and as always thank you for your comments. And you are right about Erin
She referred to Lizzie as her second mother
More Bewitched Continued!!!
We always thought the last episode of Bewitched should have had the first Darrin being married to Samantha! Then have said that the second Darrin was a mortal married to Serena!
Diana that would've been nice.
What a stunner Liz was!
Massive crush in my younger days
Miss her a lot
She was stunning , one of the most beautiful natural faces to grace the screen . And Erin Murphy is a close runner up now !
How beautiful this video is. The music, as well as the photos, are awesome. Thank you!
I love seeing these behind the scenes photos. It’s like looking at an old family photo album. Nice job.
Beautiful pics beautiful memories of bewitched ty for sharing😂🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
I loved Bewitched, I always wanted a heart locket exactly like the gorgeous one she always wore, still haven’t found one!
It was a gift from her husband, Bill Asher.
So classy, I wish 60's style will come back
Thank You Barry for these Awesome photos!! I would love to see a blooper reel from the series
I loved/love Bewitched. I still watch it but it makes me sad to think of those no longer with us. Like Darren 1 I have debilitating back pan. Agnes Moorhead wash beautiful. Elizabeth Montgomery was stunning.
Thank you for this Bewitched tribute. Bewitched was one of my favorite shows growing up. I bought the complete DVD set because I loved the show so much. Elizabeth Montgomery, Dick York, and Agnes Moorehead all appeared in Twilight Zone episodes before going on to star in Bewitched. Also David White (Larry Tate) was in a Twilight Zone episode as well.
Elizabeth Montgomery and David White appeared together in a 1960 episode of the Untouchables, "The Rusty Heller Story". ua-cam.com/video/0zjJkQUtidU/v-deo.html Here is a scene between the two of them.
I, too, picked up the DVD set as a holiday gift for my son. Now I can show him why this was one of my earliest fave shows.
She was drop dead gorgeous
What a beautiful lady, and a fantastic show!!!!
