Bewitched: Astonishing Facts Revealed About The Cast and Crew

#51. More Tabitha, Please

Bewitched led to a spin-off show called Tabitha. The concept was based on the adult life of Samantha and Darrin’s daughter, Tabitha. The show was disappointing to many fans since the original actress (Erin Murphy) wasn’t involved, and the series didn’t do well.

#52. Spin-Off Tabitha

In the spin-off series, Tabitha was played by Lisa Hartman (Black), who went on to have a successful career as an actress. Her most notable role was as Cathy Geary on the hit series Knots Landing. Lisa eventually married country musician Clint Black. Lisa’s mother Jonni Hartman Rogers, an entertainment publicist, died in February 2017.

#53. Tabitha's Post-Bewitched Life

After Bewitched, original Tabitha actress Erin Murphy had roles on shows like Lassie, made dozens of commercial appearances, and did some swimwear modeling. She even auditioned for parts with other stars like Helen Hunt and Jodie Foster. Her family moved to Orange County gave her the chance to be a “normal” teenager, and she was crowned homecoming queen at her high school.

#54. Tabitha's Later Years

In later years, Erin Murphy worked as a makeup artist, a casting director, stunt double, fashion stylist, an acting teacher, and a motivational speaker. One of her most important roles, however, is as an outspoken advocate for Autism awareness; she has revealed that her son Parker was diagnosed with the disease. She certainly has made an impact with her time outside of Hollywood!

#55. Real-Life Relationships

People are often curious about the behind-the-scenes relationship between Samantha and Tabitha. Child actress Erin Murphy recently gave an ABC interview about her time on Bewitched. She revealed that she was very close to her television parents, even calling them by the nicknames “Darren Daddy” and “Mantha Mommy.” In the interview, Murphy said, “I looked to her [Montgomery] as a parent, and she would tell me what to do like a parent. In a lot of ways, I’m so much more like her than I am my own mom, which is hilarious.” She was also close with Agnes Moorehead, who played her grandmother.
