During seven years of cheesecake, slut-shaming and massive laughs, The Golden Girls was TV’s unlikeliest smash hit.

Among the most enduring TV sitcoms of all time, “Bewitched” remains beloved nearly sixty years after its debut. The series lead, Elizabeth Montgomery, was a complex, strong-willed woman whose life and career became an ongoing quest for love and recognition she never received from her movie star father. Bewitched became one of television’s biggest hits during the turbulent 1960s, a time that was symbolic of the series’ behind-the-scenes turmoil. Bewitched’s magic became an escape from the era’s political assassinations, race riots, and counterculture. In the midst of it all, Elizabeth received death threats for protesting the Vietnam War, having “two Darrins” became controversial and threw the show into turmoil, and rumored on-set affairs threatened to derail ABC’s cash cow. Following Bewitched, Elizabeth unexpectedly received another wave of fame, becoming the small screen’s first “Queen of the TV-Movies” with groundbreaking films like A Case of Rape and The Legend of Lizzie Borden. She eventually marries a fourth and final time, to actor Robert Foxworth, and dies too soon at only 62, from colon cancer. But like Lucille Ball before her, Elizabeth becomes an influential Hollywood female powerhouse, a trailblazer who continues to bewitch millions of TV viewers around the world.
