This actress rose to prominence for her role in “Bewitched,” where her large blue eyes and golden hair made her a likable character. Today, social media fans are astounded to see she still “stunning as ever” decades later.
A Hollywood Star’s Magical Rise to Fame
The fascinating world of 1960s television presented several popular characters, but one show stood out for its sweetness and humor: “Bewitched.” Among the wonderful antics of witches and mortals, a young star rapidly won the hearts of the audience.
By the end of the series, she was already one of Hollywood’s most well-known child actors. Despite her popularity, she did not confine herself to a single show. Aside from “Bewitched,” she appeared in a number of commercials, including one for detergent with Ronald Reagan.
A New Chapter – Motherhood and Family Life
As the thrill of her child star days faded, the actress accepted a new role that would be as life-changing: that of a devoted mother. Her initial marriage to Terry Rogers in 1984 marked the start of this chapter.
They relocated to Tucson, Arizona, where she adjusted to a life away from the glitz of Hollywood, working as a stunt double and karaoke hostess.
They had two kids, Jason and Grant, from their marriage, however the couple split after five years. This development prompted the actress to return to California to raise her sons.
“It’s a lot of fun. It’s a crazy but fun lifestyle,” the actress said of life with her boys. “People always ask me if I’m Mormon. I only have one sister, and I grew up thinking ‘The Brady Bunch’ was the greatest show, so I always did want a big family. But ideally, I always wanted one boy and one girl, so maybe if I’d had a girl in there, I might have stopped at three or sooner, but I wouldn’t change anything,” she added.
A Bewitching Beauty at 60
This beloved actress is none other than Erin Murphy, the former child star who brought Tabitha Stephens to life on “Bewitched.” Now 60, Murphy continues to captivate the public.
In September, she commemorated the 60th anniversary of the legendary series on X (previously Twitter), posting, “Want to feel old? ‘Bewitched’ debuted 60 years ago today, September 17, 1964. “AND little Tabitha (me!) is 60 years old!”
Today, Murphy is a mother of six and a proud grandmother. Asked if her grandchildren watched “Bewitched,” the actress revealed, “You know what’s funny? Not a lot. I feel weird. I’ve always felt like it’s a little self-centered to sit down and watch yourself.”
