In 1968, Marion Lorne, the actor who played the beloved Aunt Clara, passed away due to a heart attack. The next death hit ‘Bewitched’ fans even harder. Shortly after, she was replaced by actress Sandra Gould. Viewers may have noticed this change during the second season of Bewitched, and Pearce passed before completing that second season. When she began rapidly losing weight, her condition became more evident. Pearce was diagnosed with this terminal cancer before Bewitched started, but she chose to keep this information to herself and continue pursuing her acting career. Alice Pearce, who played the role of Gladys Kravitz, the show’s nosy neighbor, passed away due to ovarian cancer in 1966. The first death occurred while Bewitched was still in production. Perhaps this was a foreshadowing of what was to come of the show’s cast. Despite the tragic news, the show had to go on. The tragedy was especially difficult for the show’s star, Elizabeth Montgomery and her husband Bill Asher, who was also the show’s producer.
Rehearsals for the pilot episode of “Bewitched” started in Novem– just hours before the nation learned of the assassination of President John F.
Let’s take a look back at the show’s production and figure out if this curse has any truth to it. Upon further digging, many people agree that the death of each of the cast members were indeed untimely and unnatural. Although fellow cast members Dick York and Dick Sargent passed just a short while earlier, in 19 respectively, it was after Elizabeth Montgomery’s death that fans started to recognize a pattern. It all started with the death of actress Elizabeth Montgomery in 1995.
