The event was co-sponsored by the Classic TV Preservation Society (CTVPS), a nonprofit organization dedicated to the positive social influence of classic television programming and its stars.
Elizabeth Montgomery, who died in 1995 from cancer, was the star of Bewitched. As Samantha Stephens, the witch with a twitch, Montgomery bespelled viewers with her magical appeal.
Montgomery, daughter of famed actor Robert Montgomery, co-starred on Bewitched with Dick York and then Dick Sargent as her mortal advertising man-husband Darrin.
Other stars on the show included Agnes Moorehead, who played Samantha’s feisty mother Endora, and David White as Larry Tate, Darrin’s self-absorbed boss.
