Elizabeth Montgomery, born on April 15, 1933, in Los Angeles, was destined for stardom as the daughter of actors. She began her acting career early, but it was her iconic role as Samantha Stevens in *Bewitched* that made her a household name.

*Bewitched* (1964-1972) became a beloved sitcom thanks to its blend of “magic and comedy.” Montgomery’s portrayal of a witch trying to live a normal life with her mortal husband, Darrin, charmed audiences with “wit, grace, and a sprinkle of magic.”

Beyond *Bewitched*, Montgomery showcased her versatility in TV movies, stage productions, and serious dramas. Off-screen, she was an advocate for civil rights and women’s rights, using her fame to support causes of “equality and justice.”

Montgomery passed away on May 18, 1995, but her legacy endures. Even today, her portrayal of Samantha continues to captivate new generations with its timeless magic.
