It was known that Elizabeth Montgomery was drawn to the bad boys, and found herself in many unsuitable relationships. There was even talk that she had a relationship with president John F. Kennedy. Not many details are known about their exact relationship, but what is known is that they were friends in the 1960s.
In the tell-all book, author Pilato adds that JFK was known for chasing beautiful women. Elizabeth Montgomery had affairs with many other famous men, including Dean Martin, Elvis, and other older men. Elizabeth was married four times, and it is rumored that during all of her marriages she had multiple affairs.
She Was Too Iconic
Some roles are just too iconic to be remade. When you think of the role of Samantha in Bewitched, you automatically think of amazing Elizabeth Montgomery. The movie should have done well, everyone loved the show “Bewitched,” but this we make just did not work. Mostly due to the fact that Elizabeth Montgomery was not involved and when you think of Bewitched, you think of her.
People everywhere fell in love with the heartthrob Elizabeth Montgomery during her time on “Bewitched.” Of course, she was beautiful and very talented, but she was also so much more. She was very active in political activism.
Elizabeth Montgomery’s Obituary Is So Wrong
Actress Elizabeth Montgomery who played the iconic role of Samantha on “Bewitched” was actually a very private person. She did not live her life in the Limelight at all. She did not think that it was necessary to make her personal life public information.
Because of this, Elizabeth obituary was actually very wrong. When Elizabeth passed away, it was sad that she was 57 years old. In fact, they were very off. Elizabeth was actually 62 years old. Additionally, several obituaries were posted saying that she was single...this again was untrue. She never revealed to her fans that she had married Robert Foxworth just a few years prior.
Her Legacy Lives On
Elizabeth Montgomery was always an activist for the people. Even after she had passed away, she continued to help people in need. A few years after she passed away, there was an auction held featuring all of her clothing. Her “Bewitched” on-screen daughter, Erin Murphy, who played the role of Tabitha, modeled all of the clothing for the auction.
The auction, of course, benefited one of the causes Elizabeth Montgomery was an activist for, the AIDS Foundation. They raised so much money with this auction which was so fitting for Elizabeth, as while she was alive, she fought so hard for the people living with AIDS.
A Very Special Gift
After Elizabeth Montgomery passed away, she gave a very special gift to New York State. She had owned a beautiful summer home in Patterson, New York. After her death, the estate was sold to the state of New York. It was a whopping 794 Acres! The enormous amount of land was turned into Wonder Lake State Park!
The park, like Elizabeth, is wonderful, it was expanded and now totals 1145 acres! The park boasts almost 9 miles of hiking trails and one scenic trail that has a pond and lines the entire lake! The park also helps to protect parts of the Great Swamp.
