25 Nose-Twitchin’ Things You Might Not Know About Elizabeth Montgomery

8. The Nose Twitch

In just about every popular show, the main character has a trademark that fans grow to love and can anticipate on happening. The Olsen twins would say “you got it dude” in Full House and Erkel would famously announce “did I do that?” in Family Matters. Well, Montgomery had something of her own.

The nose twitch that Samantha had in the show was based on a real-life quirk that Montgomery had. It was noticed that her lip would shake when she got nervous. They worked in the facial distortion so that it would go together just right and not look weird.

9. Forever In Stone

Few people get a statue made for them. You have to have had a lasting impact on society or just be appreciated to a certain extent by a certain group of people. That is how you get to live forever, through a statue. Elizabeth Montgomery made the list of being immortalized.

In June 2005, Salem Massachusetts either played a joke that will go on forever or they decided to pay homage. Montgomery had a bronze statue built of her in Salem which happened to be where the witch trials took place. Could just be a good marketing scheme if you think about it.

10. So Close But No Cigar

For those who are nominated for awards, there can be no greater feeling. That goes for any award like an Oscar, an Emmy, an Espy, a Grammy, or whatever. And it gets even better when you actually win one of the awards! Of course, it takes a lot of skill and talent to become nominated so that is why it is so special to be considered.

Montgomery was nominated a whole eight times for an Emmy. That says a lot about her skills right there. The only thing is, she never won any of the times she was nominated. That has got to hurt.

11. How To Stuff A Wild Bikini

There have been times throughout film history when a character from a different show or movie makes a cameo. In fact, since the early turn of the century, there has been a slew of movies that parody other movies such as Scary Movie which takes popular horror films and turns them into jokes all in one film.

Elizabeth Montgomery made a cameo in the 1965 film, How to Stuff a Wild Bikini which starred Mickey Rooney and Annette Funicello. Montgomery made an appearance and parodied her Bewitched role. Something that only true fans would know about because that movie pretty much flew under the radar.

12. Fight For Happiness

Montgomery had the talent and the magnetism to get her many of the things she wanted out of life. Still, that was not enough for her as she battled to find happiness. This led to her having a very up and down life that dealt with many abusive relationships on top of other things that affected her.

We will delve in deeper to uncover the other life of Elizabeth Montgomery. An author by the name of Herbie Pilato wrote a biography about the star so many of the insides about her will come from him.

13. Troubled Lovers

There are people right now asking the following question: why do women chase the bad guys? Being a good guy can often times make you finish last so that is not just a cliche. In Montgomery’s case, she had a reason for chasing troubled guys (more on that as the story progresses).

“She seemed drawn to troubled men, not nice guys”, said Pilato. “She was always looking for the ‘bad boy.’” There is a link which connects why she would always do this. More on that coming up, but why do you think she did this to herself?

14. The Young Rebel

Ever heard the phrase “daddy issues”? Well, Montgomery was the poster child of this and it rubbed off on her in her personal life. That is the reason why she would go for the bad boys and troubled men in sort of way to spite her father. Hey, we don’t make the rules we just report facts.

“She was always looking for the ‘bad boy’, which may have been part of her rebellion against her father,” said Pilato. That is the correct way to rebel by doing something the oppressor does not really like. And she did it well, might we add.
