21. And Another Affair
Not even people on the set of Bewitched were safe with Montgomery around. Hide your dads, hide your husbands, and don’t forget about your sons. Montgomery got a hold of most of them and either tired to fix them or it turned out to be a disaster. This one is no different.
While she was acting for the show, she became tired of it after a few seasons (more on that later). When boredom strikes, evil has an open gate to enter in. This is when she got into an affair with the director, Richard Michaels. The end result was both of their marriages being broken in 1971.
22. The Rebel Tried to Right the Ship
Even though she rebelled a lot from her father, she did try. And this is one of those things that you see happen all the time. You know a situation is supposed to be well and it isn’t, so you try and fix it but sometimes it just does not turn out how it should be.
It is reported that she spent her life attempting to fix things with her overbearing and famous father. Many mishaps happened between them that made it hard for this to come to fruition but at least an effort was put out. Some people just would not care.
23. Her Dad Was Against Her Being An Actress
This could for sure be a part of a reason why you might not totally get along with someone. When a person does not advocate for you to go for your dreams or to do what you really want to do in your life then there can be some strife between you and that person especially if they are your parents!
“He didn’t want her to become an actress and that sparked the beginning of her resentment,” said Pilato. “He was her toughest critic as an actress and was very hard on her personal life too, from the way she walked and her posture to her penchant for older men.”
24. Parental Problems
There is a huge percentage of Americans that grew up in a broken household. Psychologists note that it factors into how a young person grows up by shaping how they view society and how they act. Montgomery was a part of a broken home when her parents split when she was a teenager. It did not influence her positively.
“Elizabeth was a teen when her parents divorced and that strained her relationship with her father even further,” said Pilato. “Her dysfunctional childhood family home haunted her for years.” That is a lot going on with her as she grew up. We wouldn’t wish that on anyone.
25. Another Reason For Conflict With Her Dad
The story becomes more clear the more you read. And we all know how people handle politics; it’s either you believe in this or you believe in that. There are hardly any objective individuals when it comes to politics. That often leads to heated discussions or even losing friendships. Politics are no joke and a bomb was dropped when Montgomery chose to be a Democrat even with her father being a Republican.
“Robert Montgomery was a staunch Republican and Elizabeth became a fervent Democrat, fighting for social causes that antagonized her father,” said Pilato. Too many things were adding to their feud now.
