Bewitched Tidbits A delightful if improbable scenario sets the lovely good witch Samantha (Elizabeth Montgomery) married to a mere mortal, a regular fella who worked for the ad agency McCann and Tate.To maintain domestic tranquility, she agrees to avoid the practice of magic. Easier said than done. That nose was always just a twitch away from trouble.Perhaps Bewitched is best known for the tale of the two Darrins. Dick York, Darrin Number 1, was replaced by Dick Sargent as Darrin Number 2. Without so much of a word of explanation. Dick York had been seriously injured while filming "They Came to Cordura" in 1959.The pain persisted into the Bewitched days. In 1969 he was written out of fourteen episodes to accomodate his infirmity. When he tried to return to the show, he suffered a seizure on the set and went off to the hospital. Never to return to the show. That wasn't the only replacement. To wit: Successive sets of twins were cast as Tabitha. Alice Pearce (Gladys Kravitz) died in 1966 and so was replaced by Sandra Gould. Darrin had two Dad's, Robert Simon and Roy Roberts. Sam' s Aunt Hagatha was played by both Ysabel MacCloskey and Reta Shaw. Darrin's secretary was played by four different actresses. A record even for Bewitched. Ah, and the nearly silent partner in the ad agency, Howard McCann, who only apppeared twice, was played by two different actors - by Leon Ames and Gilbert Roland. Passings Sadly, all of the adult major players are dead.Agnes Moorehead died in 1974 of lung cancer, David White in 1990 of a heart attack, Dick York in 1992 of emphysema, Dick Sargent in 1994 of prostate cancer, and Elizabeth Montgomery died in 1995 of colorectal cancer. Alice Ghostley died in 2007 of colon cancer. |
