It's hard to believe, but can you believe that Bewitched has been around for 60 years now? Erin Murphy, one of the show's stars, recently celebrated the milestone anniversary along with her own birthday. Erin, who began her career at a young age, rose to fame playing Tabitha Stephens, the daughter of Samantha and Darrin Stephens in the timeless TV show.
Premiering in 1964, Bewitched quickly became a fan favorite and ran for eight successful seasons before ending in 1972. To commemorate the show's 60th anniversary, Erin took to Twitter to share a throwback photo of her younger self on the show. She captioned it with a mind-blowing fact: "Want to feel old? Bewitched premiered 60 years ago today, September 17, 1964. AND little Tabitha is 60 years old! #bewitched #tv #Trivia #tabitha." Fans were quick to express their shock and nostalgia in the comments section.
One fan, Jay, couldn't believe how old they were now, while Susan admitted to feeling old after watching the show. Another fan, Robert, was shocked to realize that Tabitha was now 60 years old. EJ Jean shared her love for the show and wished Erin a happy birthday, saying that she was and still is adorable. Erin starred in the show as a child alongside Dick York and Elizabeth Montgomery, and she left a lasting impression on fans.
Despite the passing of 60 years, Erin still looks youthful and radiant. Gray Wolf, one of her fans, commented on her post, saying that she doesn't look a day over 60. He also thanked her for bringing back fond memories of his childhood. For those who may not know, Bewitched tells the story of a witch named Samantha who falls in love with a mortal named Darrin and tries to live a normal life in the suburbs, despite the interference from her magical family.
Looking back on her time as little Tabitha, Erin shared in an interview with CBS News that it was a great experience for her. She felt lucky to be a part of such a fun and magical show. Even though she was the only child on set for most of the show, all the adults were kind and welcoming to her. She also mentioned that she had a blast filming scenes with animals and magic.
Erin also had a close relationship with her on-screen mother, Elizabeth Montgomery, who she considered a second mom. As an adult, she is still good friends with Elizabeth's children. In a previous interview with People, Erin admitted that she never really watched Bewitched as a child because it aired past her bedtime. She also revealed that she knew the magic wasn't real, and there were people on the rafters above them using fishing poles and wires.
After the show ended in 1972, Erin went on to star in other TV shows such as Lassie, Identity, Craft Lab, Groomer Has It, and To Tell The Truth. In 1977, a spin-off show called Tabitha was created, with Lisa Hartman leading the way as an adult version of Erin's character. Unfortunately, the show only lasted for a short time, but it was a fun experience for Erin.
