Welcome back to another edition of the BET-CRP – the Best Evidence True-Crime Résumé Percentage! We havent done one in a minute, plus I finally got my act together and pulled the first one over here to the new place so I could link to the points rundown.
If youre new to the concept, that link should explain it; the short version is that its a quantification of an actors (or directors, or authors) true-crime c.v.
Id had Elizabeth Montgomery on my BET-CRP to-do list for aaaages, because of course Bewitched was the lede in the obit, but then it started to seem over the years like every single other reference to Montgomery that I came across involved a major-case TV movie in which she played a recognizable genre figure.
That said, before I combed her IMDb page, I guessed her BET-CRP at around 17 percent, because the perception that she played, like, nothing but Old West dames and axe murderers couldnt be the reality, right? Even though her somewhat premature demise capped her list of eligible projects at 67? …Or 65? Well get back to that. Right now lets run those numbers.
- The Court-Martial of Billy Mitchell (). A huge case a hundred years ago; Id never heard of it. It did get a screenplay nod at the Oscars, but nothing for Montgomery, whose role is apparently not a name one: 1
- Kraft Theatre SE25, The Duel (). Montgomerys career began in the fifties, so theres a good deal of [Corporation] Playhouse Presents-type stuff in the early going, and in a handful of them, she appeared in like 30 episodes – but usually, theyre original stories or adaptations of Fitzgerald stories, etc. etc. I spot-checked a handful to make sure, which is how this one popped up; the duel in question is the one between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr. The IMDb doesnt specify who plays what, although unless Montgomery played the gun, it wouldnt really matter: 1

Bewitched
Bewitched, a fantasy situation comedy featuring the suburban life of a witch housewife married to a mortal, aired on ABC from to In its first season, it was the highest rated of all the new series and for its first five seasons, the program found itself consistently in Neilsens' Top Twelve. By , its re-runs had sold to ABC for nine million dollars.
Set in Westport, Connecticut, Bewitched chronicles the difficulties Samantha (Elizabeth Montgomery) has negotiating her supernatural powers and her role as the suburban housewife of advertising executive Darrin Stephens (Dick York, replaced by Dick Sargent after the fifth season). Other major characters include Samantha's mother, Endora (Agnes Moorehead), who enjoys employing meddling witchcraft to complicate her daughter's marriage, a suspicious neighbor named Gladys Kravitz (Alice Pearce, later replaced by Sandra Gould)) and Darrin's neurotic boss Larry Tate (David White). Sporadically, Elizabeth Montgomery would appear as her cousin, Serena, embodied as a teeny-bopper, counter-culture type, with a knack for free-spirited and manipulative sorcery. Eventually, Samantha and Darrin have a daughter, Tabitha, and a son, Adam, both of whom display witchly powers. (In , ABC attempted a spin-off called Tabitha, where the now grown witch (Lisa Hartman) works as assistant producer for a California news program--with Robert Urich as the anchorman. The spin-off failed before season's end.)
Bewitched's formula typically involves a disruption created by either Samantha or Darrin's family, or Darrin's boss Larry. Samantha's responsibility to keep up the family harmony comes into conflict with her vow not to exercise witchcraft. Usually the resolution does come about with witchcraft, but Samantha's role as a "good" wife undergoes re-inscription because she performed her spells for the sake of her family (Morey, ).
Samantha generally exercises her witchcraft by twitching her nose and mouth (known at the time of
