Then and now: Tabitha Stephens from “Bewitched”
Back in 2015, we got a rare glimpse at what Erin Murphy (who famously played Tabitha Stephens in Bewitched) looks like now. Today, she’s given us an update, posing for photos and chatting with Fox News – and you won’t believe how different she looks from her Bewitched days.
These days, the 52-year-old is a busy mother of six, but reflects fondly on her time on the iconic show, which ran from 1964 to 1972. “[Elizabeth Montgomery] really was like a mum to me,” she tells Fox. “I definitely think of her more like a family member than a co-worker […] We were friends outside of the set and she had three children around my age, so we grew up together. So it was a close relationship for sure.
“I was very lucky because I stayed in touch with people after the show was over, so I had the pleasure of hanging out with Dick Sargent as an adult and having phone conversations with Dick York. As a kid, I was very close with both of them. I grew to admire them as adults because they were such great men.”
Murphy is set to return to screens with a web comedy series titled Life Interrupted, in which she will star alongside a number of other child stars including Alison Arngrim (Little House on the Prairie), Dawn Wells (Gilligan’s Island) and Michael Learned (The Waltons).
