Born in Los Angeles, California, Elizabeth Montgomery was the child of actor Robert Montgomery and his wife, Broadway actress Elizabeth Bryan Allen. She had an older sister, Martha Bryan Montgomery, who died before she was born, and a brother, Robert Montgomery, Jr., who was born in 1936. She attended The Spence School.
The daughter of film star Robert Montgomery, Elizabeth Montgomery made her television bow on her father's popular 1950s anthology series. Her first film was 1955's The Court Martial of Billy Mitchell, for which she was generously reviewed as one of the most dynamic young actresses of her time. Often cast in hypertense roles, Montgomery won an Emmy for her portrayal of a conniving gun moll on a 1959 episode of TV's The Untouchables. She shifted to domestic comedy with ease in the role of Samantha Stephens, the attractive witch heroine of the long-running (1964-1973) TV sitcom Bewitched. After this project folded, Montgomery returned to dramatic roles with a vengeance, spending the next two decades starring as abused, beleaguered women in such TV movies as A Case of Rape (1974) and The Legend of Lizzie Borden (1975). In her last made-for-TV project, Montgomery portrayed real-life reporter Edna Buchanan.

When actress Elizabeth Montgomery died of cancer on 18 May 1995, her age was given as fifty seven, trimming five years off her birth date. [1] Obituaries offered conflicting details about her marital status: some said she was single at the time of her death; others said she was survived by a husband, actor Robert Foxworth. [2] But the marital mystery was orchestrated by Ms. Montgomery herself, who, being a private person, was simply a step ahead of the press. She viewed her union to Foxworth as a private matter when she wedded him secretly at the Los Angeles apartment of her manager in 1993. [3] Nevertheless, she appears on the Social Security Death Index as “Elizabeth Asher” (the surname being that of an ex-husband), with her birth date as 15 April 1933, [4] while “Elizabeth A. Montgomery” is stated on her death certificate. [5] Montgomery’s middle name... was Victoria.

Montgomery devoted untold hour to implementing the changes in the 1970 law. The most difficult of these was the licensing of LPNs under the waiver provision of the new law. Approximately 1,000 individuals sought licensure through waiver, but less than fifty percent were successful. As a result the Board had to offer additional licensing examinations during this one-year period. Montgomery closed her final annual report to the board with an expression of appreciation to employers of nurses, the nurses licensed by the Board, and applicants for licensure for their cooperation during the time of change. She concluded with the commendation for "the fine office staff which has handled so nobly the greatly increased volume of work during the last six months of 1970."
