The 1964-1972 TV series Bewitched tells the story of a witch, Samantha
, marrying an ordinary man, and their daughter,
Tabitha, who inherited her mother’s magical powers.
Tabitha was portrayed by twins Diane and Erin Murphy, who took turns playing the role.
Born in 1964, they shared the part during the series,
with Erin continuing solo from season four.
Erin enjoyed her time on Bewitched but left acting at age 13 for a more regular life.
She remained close to her TV mother,
Elizabeth Montgomery, who passed away in 1995. Erin fondly remembers
Agnes Moorehead, who played Tabitha’s grandmother, as a close friend and mentor.
Today, Erin is a TV host, motivational speaker, and business owner
, running companies such as Erin Murphy Knits and Slim Chillers.
She’s also a mother of six sons. Despite her fame,
she enjoys interacting with Bewitched fans.
Diane, meanwhile, works in medical writing and is involved in nonprofit organizations supporting women and LGBTQ+ communities.
The role of Tabitha remains iconic, leaving a lasting legacy for many fans of the show.
