Bewitched: Astonishing Facts Revealed About The Cast and Crew

#26. Darrin's Perspective

Steve Lawrence can be heard singing the lyrics in a clip on YouTube. The lyrics were written from Darrin’s perspective — if he knew that his wife was a witch. Of course, it could also be interpreted as being about a man who is simply spellbound by the woman he is in love with.

#27. Elizabeth Montgomery's Obituary Is So Wrong

Elizabeth Montgomery was a private person who never felt the need to make her vital statistics public. At the time of her death, her age was published as 57. In actuality, the actress was 62. Several obituaries also listed her as single because she didn’t reveal to the public her marriage to Robert Foxworth, whom she married a few years before her death.

#28. Death Certificate Inconsistencies

In addition to her own obituaries listing her incorrect age and her incorrect marital status, her own death certificate even got her own name wrong! Her death certificate also listed her as “Elizabeth A. Montgomery,” even though her middle name was Victoria.

#29. Drunk on Set!

Cast members often drank on set and were sometimes filmed while drunk, including producer William Asher. The drinking was so pervasive that many fan sites were created to log the number of times in each episode that each character was seen drinking. Then again, Bewitched was shot in the 1960s and the American public, in general, had a much more lax attitude toward drinking than in this day and age.

#30. Record-Breaking Drinking Habits

In fact, here’s a list of some of the bars and nightclubs mentioned on the show: The Diamond Slipper, Dundee’s Bar (which Darrin refers to as “the best restaurant in town”), the Purple Popsicle night club, Joe’s Bar and Grill, Happy Times Bar, Hearthstone Bar/Restaurant, Golden Spoon Restaurant, and Elbow Room Cocktail Lounge. Supposedly the rules were stricter when children were on set. Actors were apparently supposed to use iced tea to imitate the look of alcohols. Dick Wilson often played a drunk on the show. Maybe he knows how much acting was involved?
