Elizabeth Montgomery, best known for her enchanting portrayal of Samantha Stephens in the classic television show Bewitched, was born on April 15, 1933. With a pedigree rooted in show business, her father being renowned actor Robert Montgomery, it was perhaps destiny that Elizabeth would follow suit. Her early years were spent studying at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, where she honed her acting skills before making her debut on her father's television series, Robert Montgomery Presents. Montgomery's career took off in the late 1950s, but it wasn't until 1964 when she landed the role of Samantha Stephens, a beautiful witch trying to live a mortal life, that her star truly began to shine.

In addition to her acting career, Montgomery was also an advocate for women's rights and gay rights, displaying a passion for activism that paralleled her love for acting.
