She and Robert Foxworth, the actor, lived together for over twenty years until her death.

Children William Asher: William Jr (b. July 24, 1964), Robert (b. October 5, 1965), Rebecca Elizabeth (b. 17 June 1969).

She died 8 weeks after being diagnosed with colon cancer and was cremated.

Daughter of Elizabeth Allen and Robert Montgomery.

Ms. Montgomery refused to do her famous nose twitch for enduring fans after her "Bewitched" (1964) 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, (born October 13, 1930) but died of spinal meningitis at the age of 14 months, before Elizabeth was born.

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.

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" (1960), providing the voice of a cartoon version of her famous "Bewitched" (1964) character, Samantha Stevens.

Her famous nose twitch was actually a nervous habit. When they were trying to figure out a trademark for the character Samantha the director William Asher noticed that when she got nervous she would twitch her upper lip, so they used that.

Montgomery spent weekends and summers at the family farm in upstate Patterson, New York. Often referenced in episodes of "Bewitched" (1964) as "Patterson Garage" or "Cushman Cosmetics", Cushman Road is the rural, dirt road on which the several hundred acre Montgomery estate is located.

A 9 foot bronze statue of Elizabeth as Samantha Stephens riding sidesaddle on her broomstick now resides in a downtown park in Salem, Massachusetts, home to the infamous witch trials of the 17th century.

Mother`s married name was Elizabeth Montgomery.

Best remembered by the public for her starring role as Samantha in Bewitched (1964).

Received a posthumous star on Hollywood`s Walk of Fame on January 4, 2008.

Was a grand marshal with former TV husband Dick Sargent at the 1992 Los Angeles Gay Pride Parade. Elizabeth was a supporter of gay rights and also women`s rights throughout her life.

She fell in love with director Richard Michaels during filming of the eighth season of Bewitched, and moved in with him when the season was complete. This broke up both their marriages and ended the possibility of a ninth season. The relationship lasted two and a half years.
