Popcultured Blast from the Past: Erin Murphy
Anyone who reads this blog regularly knows how much I love the classic TV sitcom “Bewitched.” One of my favorite characters on the show was Tabitha Stephens, played by Erin Murphy. Tabitha was my age, which is probably why I related to her. Plus, she had magical powers and made a cute twitching sound when she wiggled her nose. I so wanted to be her!
Occasionally Tabitha was played by Erin’s sister, Diane Murphy. This was more common during the earlier years of the show. The two girls looked similar, but since they were fraternal twins and not identical, it was noticeable on the episodes that Diane played Tabitha. As the girls grew and began to look less alike, the producers dropped Diane from the show. In later episodes it’s all Erin.
So where is Erin Murphy today? She’s now a mother of 6 boys, married to a man named Darren (pretty ironic, eh?) and does hosting gigs and works as a television correspondent.
