When I was fifteen years old, I had an experience I will never forget. My brother-in-law was an actor at the time, and he had just finished a role on the television show Bewitched. That year, my family and I traveled to Los Angeles to visit my sister and him.
While we were there, my brother-in-law surprised us with something truly special. He arranged a private backstage tour—one that most people never get the chance to experience. Walking onto the actual set of Bewitched felt unreal to me. It was like stepping into a world I had only ever seen through a television screen.
During the visit, I was given the incredible opportunity to meet Elizabeth Montgomery. Even now, it’s hard to put into words how beautiful she was—not just in appearance, but in spirit. She was clearly very busy, yet she took a few moments to talk with me. In those few minutes, she made me feel as if I were the most important person in the room. Her kindness, warmth, and genuine attention were rare and unforgettable.
That brief encounter stayed with me for the rest of my life. Years later, when I learned that Elizabeth Montgomery had passed away far too young from cancer, I was deeply affected. I cried a great deal—not only because the world had lost a talented actress, but because it had lost a truly kind and gracious human being.
Even today, I remember that moment on the Bewitched set and how she made a shy fifteen-year-old feel seen and valued. It remains one of the most meaningful memories of my life.
