Celebrity worship especially by Americans, is appalling. It squeezes the last drop out of the actor's humanity. I do not want to know how many partners the actor has had. Why they are a mess in their so called private lives. e.g. For me Robyn Williams apparent suicide also killed his wonderful humour for me. That is for their friends and family. It's like a gift that latter is shat upon. NO fault of the performer but the insatiable media feeding celebrity worship.

A pure class act. Recorded around Sept 67. During season 4. Agnes was sixty seven here. Tragically she died seven years later from cancer apparently developed from exposure to radioactive fallout from atmospheric atomic bomb tests on location during the making of The Conqueror with John Wayne in the Fifties. Up to a hundred of the crew including Wayne in the following decades died from various cancers highly likely due to this incident.

@@marcosvalenca Agnes was a very fine actress, and she felt that playing the part of a witch was beneath her. And she was right. It was not a challenge, and she said she didn't want to be known as being a witch on the show. But, it also opened her to a new generation of fans, and it was a steady job, which was good considering her age at the time. BTW, she was the first female to host the Academy Awards (she was a co-host), and I think it was 1948. She was nominated four times for Best Supporting Actress, but she never won the award. She was highly regarded by other actors and actresses for her serious movie and stage roles. So, playing a comical witch was fun to so many who loved Bewitched, even though she had originally refused the offer to take the part of Endora.

She was an actor's actor....the consummate professional: show up on time, know your lines, hit all your marks, and don't ad lib. She always flew under the radar....but her supporting characters in all of movies, plays, and television appearances made them all that much better because of her performances. She knew how to work a scene and said as much with facial expressions and body language as with the scripted word. One of the most regal and respected actresses of old Hollywood who not only knew her craft......but was truly great at it.

Never, ever, look behind the scenery! Once you do, the illusion is shattered and the magic destroyed, and we need a certain amount of pleasant illusions and magic to make it through the day. Oh, we have illusions, they are all around us, but they are of a darker nature, magic that is of a darker turn, spells that ensnare and bind us, instead of setting us free to soar, and I'm not talking about Endora turning Durwood, I mean Darrin, into a chimpanzee.

Then, with a script, she knew Endora, from the inside out, to know exactly how the character would respond to all situations. That exactly describes Method acting.

@@lisascorp You are certainly more of an expert on Bewitched, and the characters, and probably the actors, than me! My father was a committed Method actor, and trained in Israel with the early teachers as a young man in the late 1950s. Method acting certainly didn't, and doesn't involve being in character outside of the rehearsal and performance time. Some actors do stay in character for the whole time on set, and even in their home life for the duration of the run of their performance, because they believe embodying their character completely, for the duration will help them with a more authentic performance. However, that is just their individual way of doing things, and is not part of Method acting. I hope that clarifies things for you! 😊

Could play any role, voice or accent.

I could list the sitcoms that were of quality but actors like Agnes set a standard that without her, Bewitch would have been very ordinary. Also the scripts behind EVERYTHING they speak and move to are essential and Bewitch had very good script writers.

Growing up, I only knew Agnes Moorehead from Bewitched. Now I've heard her on a few Old Time Radio shows and know what an incredible talent she was. It's the same with Howard McNear (Floyd on the Andy Griffith Show). He was my least favourite character. Hearing him play so many different kinds of roles on OTR really surprised me. Another great talent.

My favorite roles of hers are Aunt Fanny in "The Magnificent Ambersons", Baroness Aspasia Conti in "Mrs. Parkington" and Velma Cruther in "Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte", their extremely wide rage show what a great actor she was

Her voice! Not only do I lament the same issues Ms. Moorhead discusses here, but I also lament the loss of this kind of diction, vocal control, etc. And don’t get me started of the things that her speech lacks. I could be here all day. Besides, I think anyone who has bothered to read this comment knows exactly what I mean. Ok, one example: there is a lack of slang (both common and expletive-laced), and I appreciate that so much. Take me back to this time, please.

The interview by itself was a master class. As much as I have always enjoyed Ms Moore heads work now I am enchanted by her . Talking about discipline, preparation, and punctuality leads me to believe she would have been an excellent military drill sergeant....well done and thank you for the post

True legend! Hollywood at one time was magic..full of glamorous legends ..true talent...great screen writers..no computers no cgi ..the only magic trick back then was great talent...and today we have none of those attributes.. thank god, the works of great legends like anges moorehead are available for people like myself whom don't identify with any of today's so called talent...

She scared me a bit too when I was a small child catching the show in reruns. It was my favorite show. Me and my mother often watched it together during the day when I had half day kindergarten or just after grade school let out. Great memories watching with my Mom. She loved the show too.
