The Terrible Catsafterme

I had long looked forward to meeting Erin Murphy, who was best known as the actress who played Tabitha from 1966-1972 on the TV sitcom Bewitched. And when I finally did, it was no disappointment because she was every bit as nice as she was beautiful. During that occasion I also met the twin brothers who has portrayed Tabitha’s younger brother Adam. Many may not know that Erin Murphy also had a twin sister with whom she shared the Tabitha role for the first two years of their appearance on the show. Read the rest of this entry »

One has to fell a little sorry for the President of the United States whose legacies include being the most forgotten President, being the last president of his party (the Whigs), and arguably having the strangest name of any president.

I’m fairly certain that child actor Martin Stephens had appeared at previous Chiller Theatre events that I had been to, but I had always bypassed him. He had been one of the main kids in the sci-fi classic Village of the Damned, but I had never seen it so it didn’t mean anything to me.
