Biography |
The daughter of film star Robert Montgomery, Elizabeth Montgomery made her television bow on her father's popular 1950s anthology series. Her first film was 1955's The Court Martial of Billy Mitchell, for which she was generously reviewed as one of the most dynamic young actresses of her time. Often cast in hypertense roles, Montgomery won an Emmy for her portrayal of a conniving gun moll on a 1959 episode of TV's The Untouchables. She shifted to domestic comedy with ease in the role of Samantha Stephens, the attractive witch heroine of the long-running (1964-1973) TV sitcom Bewitched. After this project folded, Montgomery returned to dramatic roles with a vengeance, spending the next two decades starring as abused, beleaguered women in such TV movies as A Case of Rape (1974) and The Legend of Lizzie Borden (1975). In her last made-for-TV project, Montgomery portrayed real-life reporter Edna Buchanan. Among Elizabeth Montgomery's husbands were actors Gig Young, producer/director William Asher, and Robert Foxworth. |

Trivia |
- She and Robert Foxworth, the actor, lived together for over twenty years until her death.
- Children, with Asher, William Jr (b. 1964), Robert, Rebecca Elizabeth (b. 17 June 1969)
- She died 8 weeks after being diagnosed with colon cancer and was cremated.
- Member of the Gamma Phi Beta sorority.
- Daughter of 'Elizabeth Allen' and Robert Montgomery.
- Ms. Montgomery refused to do her famous nose twitch for enduring fans after her "Bewitched" show went off the air. She spent the remainder of her career pursuing dramatic roles that took her as far away from the Samantha typecast as possible.
- She had an older sister, Martha Bryan Montgomery.
- Montgomery never actually twitched her nose as her "Bewitched" (1964) character Samantha. Instead, she twitched her upper lip, which caused her nose to follow and thus gave the impression she was twitching her nose.
- She lost out on the part of Edie Doyle in On the Waterfront (1954) to Eva Marie Saint. Director Elia Kazan, in his autobiography "A Life," says that the choice of an actress to play the part was narrowed down to Montgomery and Saint. Although Montgomery was fine in her screen test, there was an air of finishing school about her. Kazan thought this genteel quality would not be becoming for Edie, who was raised on the waterfront in Hoboken, NJ. He gave the part to Saint who won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar, in the part.
- Mother of Rebecca Asher.
- Biography in: "American National Biography". Supplement 1, pp. 422-423. New York: Oxford University Press, 2002.
- Died on the same day as her Johnny Cool (1963) co-star Elisha Cook Jr..
- Ranked #52 in FHM's "100 Sexiest Women"(1995).
- Appeared on an episode of The Flintstones, providing the voice of a cartoon version of her famous Bewitched character, Samantha Stevens.
