COMMENT ON OR DISCUSS
Often cast in tense 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. Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
