It is hard to believe that the adorable, nose-twitching little girl from the classic sitcom Bewitched is now in her early sixties. Erin Murphy, who stole millions of hearts as Tabitha Stephens back in the 1960s, is proving that some people really do age like fine wine. Recently celebrating her 62nd birthday, the former child star left fans absolutely speechless after sharing a glamorous new photo online. She is showing the world that you can look fabulous, embrace your age naturally, and still keep that magical spark alive decades after leaving classic television behind.
That Show-Stopping Selfie
Taking to social media recently, Murphy posted a radiant car selfie that immediately caught everyone’s attention. Dressed up in a beautiful cream-colored gown and draped in layered gold pearl jewelry, she looked effortlessly glamorous. She simply captioned the snap, “Feeling fancy,” and her followers completely agreed with the sentiment.
The comment section quickly exploded with fans who could not believe how incredible she looks more than fifty years after playing television’s favorite little witch. What makes her glow even better is her refreshing, down-to-earth honesty. In a world full of cosmetic procedures, Murphy has always kept it real with her audience.
She has previously posted makeup-free selfies and firmly shut down plastic surgery rumors. “I’ve never had a face lift,” she said proudly. “I’m just aging naturally, gracefully, with love and total confidence.”
A Deeply Emotional Birthday
Turning 62 was not just about cake and celebrations for the actress this year. It was actually a deeply poignant milestone. Her recent birthday marked the exact age that her beloved television mom, Elizabeth Montgomery, was when she tragically passed away from cancer back in 1995.
Murphy has always been open about how Montgomery was much more than just a co-star. She was like a real-life mother figure to her, both during the hit show’s run and long after the cameras stopped rolling.
To honor the bittersweet occasion, Murphy shared a touching throwback photo of herself as a toddler alongside Montgomery. She reflected on the profound loss, admitting that it crosses her mind regularly that they lost her so early. She ended her heartfelt tribute with a sweet, affectionate note, saying just how much she misses her “ManthaMommy.”
Still Sparkling on the Red Carpet
Even though most fans will forever picture her casting spells as a little blonde girl, Murphy is still very much active and shining in the entertainment world today. She recently made a dazzling appearance on the red carpet at The Hollywood Museum.
Attending a special event, she looked completely ageless in a stunning one-shoulder black sequin dress that turned heads. Beyond attending glitzy Hollywood gatherings, she loves staying closely connected with her fans online, regularly sharing fun glimpses of her family and daily life.
And for those hoping to see Tabitha work her magic one more time? Murphy has not completely ruled it out. With rumors floating around about a new Bewitched reboot currently in development, she has enthusiastically said she would absolutely love to appear on the show if asked. Decades later, Erin Murphy is still enchanting us all, proving that true magic never really fades away.
