Who Is Still Alive From ‘Bewitched?’
Bewitched is one of the most popular shows of all time and was even ranked No. 50 on TV Guide‘s 50 Greatest TV Shows of All Time, proving that the love of magic is real. The series, starring Elizabeth Montgomery as the mystical Samantha Stephens, Dick York and later Dick Sargent as her mortal husband Darrin Stephens and Agnes Moorehead as her powerful mother Endora, aired from 1964 until 1972. Of course, since the show began 60 years ago, most of the cast members have since passed away. Let’s find out who is still alive and what they’re up to now.
Erin Murphy (60)
Tabitha Stephens
Unsurprisingly, the only surviving cast members are the kids from the show. During the show’s third season, Samantha and Darrin had their first child, a daughter named Tabitha who eventually shows that she inherited the family’s magical powers. At first, Tabitha was played by Erin and her fraternal twin sister Diane. As they grew up, Erin got the gig and appeared in over 100 episodes of the series. Erin continues to keep Bewitched‘s legacy alive by attending fan conventions and continuing a career in show business, although she mainly stepped away from acting. She has worked as a casting director, makeup artist, swimsuit model, acting teacher, and a stunt double for actress Virginia Madsen. She even has an alpaca farm. Erin is the co-owner of the alcohol brand Slim Chillers as well, proving that she keeps herself quite busy. She is on her third marriage, to Darren Dunckel, and has six kids. She is very active on social media and shared this sweet photo in honor of the show’s 60th anniversary.

David and Greg Lawrence (56)
Adam Stephens
During the sixth season of Bewitched, the Stephens family grew again and the couple had a son named Adam. He was played by twins David and Greg Lawrence, although David is the only one credited. Their real last names are Mandel-Bloch and after the show ended, they went back to their real names. In 1992, the brothers revealed that they were adopted and claimed that their birth parents were actor Tony Curtis and model Peggy Potter. While the twins retired from acting, they do show up at fan conventions to talk about Bewitched and they own their own restaurant together.
