Bewitched star Erin Murphy, 56, who played Tabitha is a blonde bombshell at Family Film Awards

Erin Murphy cut a glamorous figure when she was spotted attending the Family Film Awards in Los Angeles this Wednesday.

The 56-year-old was agelessly beautiful in a sleeveless black cocktail dress as she posed up a storm for the cameras.

She began acting as a baby and rose to fame as a child star in the 1960s playing the main characters’ daughter Tabitha on Bewitched.

Erin was subtly chic at Wednesday night’s event where she added a splash of color to her ensemble with a salmon clutch.

After standing for pictures she eventually took the stage during the awards ceremony itself to address the other attendees. 

She also posted a backstage Instagram snap from the show of herself mingling with Ann-Margret who became a star through the 1963 movie Bye Bye Birdie. 

Bewitched starred Elizabeth Montgomery as a kindhearted witch named Samantha who falls in love with and marries an ordinary man called Darrin.

Darrin wants to live a normal, unmagical life and Samantha makes an honest attempt at hiding her powers from the outside world.

However her family of witches and warlocks are constantly meddling in her affairs including her mother Endora played by Citizen Kane actress Agnes Moorehead.

Dick York played Darrin for the first few seasons but he left in 1969 to deal with health problems related to a back injury and was replaced by Dick Sargent. 

Erin began appearing on the show as Darrin and Samantha’s daughter Tabitha in 1966 and remained on the program until it ended in 1974.

She and her twin sister Diane were jointly cast as Tabitha in order to comply with child labor laws limiting how many hours each girl could be put to work.

However as Erin pointed out to Studio 10 she and Diane were fraternal twins and ‘As soon as they hired us they realized that we really don’t look that much alike.’ 

Erin explained that ‘they ended up showing my sister from the back or from a distance and then after the first year I took over.’  

She also gushed that Elizabeth, who died aged 62 in 1995 after a cancer battle, ‘was like a mom’ to her ‘and we were close off the set and I loved her very much.’

However her ‘favorite’ co-star was Agnes Moorehead who ‘was very, very much like a grandma to me and I just thought she was beautiful and colorful and fun. And her favorite color was purple and everything in her dressing room was purple.’

Later in the 1970s there was a short-lived spin-off series called Tabitha where the character was played as an adult by Lisa Hartman. 

Erin’s latest appearance comes after it emerged Bewitched is getting yet another live-action movie adaptation, according to Deadline.

The new movie comes less than two decades after the Razzie-winning 2005 film starring Nicole Kidman and Will Ferrell.

Meanwhile Erin has remained an actress into adulthood and in 2019 reprised her role as Tabitha on the web comedy series TV Therapy where fictional characters from famous television programs undergo psychoanalysis.
