From MSNBC....

LOS ANGELES - A posthumous star honoring “Bewitched” star Elizabeth Montgomery was unveiled on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in a rainy Friday ceremony.

Montgomery “is probably in the heavens laughing at us as we stand in the rain,” said honorary Hollywood Mayor Johnny Grant.

In the television show, Montgomery portrayed a witch trying to live as a housewife. The sitcom ran from 1964 into the early 1970s.

She died in 1995 at age 62. Among those attending the ceremony was her widower, actor Robert Foxworth.

“It is a great tribute to her that there are so many of you here,” he said during the ceremony on Hollywood Boulevard.

I remember when she died back in the spring of 1995. I was just coming out of highschool and i remember my mom and alot of other people expressing sadness over her death. She apparently didnt realize how servere her illness (colon cancer it turned out) was and it was too late to get the help that could have saved her life.

Bewitched is a show that has delighted several generations now. :nod:

Liz has an impressive body of work that goes even beyond Bewitched. She once remarked that doing Bewitched for 8 seasons was great for many reasons, including the fact that it afforded her the ability to be selective and choose her tv/movie roles from then on.

i most enjoyed her in: The Legend of Lizzie Borden (damn she was twisted in that movie) , A case of rape (hard to watch and the first time the act of "rape" was ever shown on television) , Black Widow Murders: The Blanche Taylor story and Deadline for Murder (she was very sarcastic and wise cracking in th is movie lol) she also did voice work on the Batman cartoon of the 90's

i'm glad she finally got her star on the walk of fame, she certainly deserves it.
