Elizabeth Montgomery Trivia
|
- Children, with Asher, William Jr (b. 1964), Robert, Rebecca Elizabeth (b. 17 June 1969)
- Ms. Montgomery refused to do her famous nose twitch for enduring fans after her "Bewitched" 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.
- She died 8 weeks after being diagnosed with colon cancer and was cremated.
- 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 screentest, 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.
