| Video Discription | Today, April 15th, marks Elizabeth Montgomery's birthdate - born April 15, 1933, and it is pleasure, and privilege, here at Television Vanguard, for us to honor her and this day. She passed away far, far too soon on May 18, 1995. Bewitched. Just one word - that is all that is needed for people to think back fondly to watching television growing up as children during any time of the past 50 years (the show is still shown daily on cable television: Antenna TV - check your local listings) and seeing the lovely Elizabeth as Samantha Stephens, the good witch of Westport Connecticut. Bewitched - Samantha - Elizabeth. The three names have become synonymous with television at its best. No tribute to television in the 1960s, not a one, can be complete without a significant mention of the impact William Asher and Elizabeth Montgomery (husband and wife) made to television with their ABC hit series Bewitched. They as a couple, along with Donna Reed and her husband Tony Owen (more on 'Todon' production company in May here at Television Vanguard), created two series that formed the backbone of the ABC television network during the 1960s. As great an impact Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz as a couple made to television in the 1950's (and they made a profound foundational impact to the medium), in many ways, William Asher and Elizabeth Montgomery extended that impact from the mid 1960s into the early 1970s with Bewitched. With Montgomery in front of the camera, Asher ensured that everything (producer, director, writer, etc.) behind the camera ran like clockwork to ensure his wife and their show was always at its best. And it was. All these years later, the look of that series just sparkles - the details in the set, the clothing, the colors, the words - everything just sparkles. Class. A follow-up clip on Bewitched will be presented here at Television Vanguard momentarily, but we want to take this moment to give some background on the impact William Asher made to television. His resume as a television director is stunning, and his hand prints are on a remarkable number of television series and specials from the 1950s to the 1980s: Make Room for Daddy, December Bride, I Love Lucy, The Dinah Shore Chevy Show, The Patty Duke Show, Bewitched, Gidget, The New Temperature's Rising, Alice, The Dukes of Hazzard, Harper Valley P.T.A., I Dream of Jeannie (TV Movie'85), Return to Green Acres (TV Movie'90). An incredible list (for the full list, visit imdb.com) of television talent and nostalgia. Mr. Asher was born on August 8, 1921, and passed away relatively recently on July 19, 2012. He lived a long life, full of accomplishments and talent that we all are the beneficiaries of as we watch television. His impact is still being felt in the medium, decades later. Thank you Bill. Thank you Elizabeth. Interviewed in this clip tribute of Bewitched and Elizabeth Montgomery includes William Asher (producer and director), actresses from the series, Kasey Rogers and Erin Murphy, and author Herbie Plato. Also interviewed in this DVD special presentation (but not shown here on this clip) is Sol Saks (1910-2011), who was the creator of the Bewitched TV series. Another very talented man (actor, writer, producer), who lived to be 100!... and a very important person who played a key role in the history of television. Mr. Plato is an expert on both the television series Bewitched and the life and career of Elizabeth Montgomery. He has written two books on the series and Ms. Montgomery that are must reads for any fan: The Bewitched Book (Delta Publishing 1992) Twitch Upon a Star - The Bewitched Life and Career of Elizabeth Montgomery (Taylor Trade Publishing 2012) This video clip on YouTube is presented here for the entertainment and educational value of the viewer, and no copyright infringement is intended in any way. Our thanks to 'Light Source & Imagery' for providing the larger two part video short: "Bewitched: The Magic Unveiled" from 2005, that is included (in two parts) on the original Bewitched Series (season 1 and 2) DVD set. An outstanding DVD set, and fine work by the folks at Light Source & Magic. We'll be visiting their fine work in the coming months with other DVD interviews and video shorts. Thank you - we hope to do your work due justice here at Television Vanguard as tribute. |
