14. Backstage Hijinx
It was in 2017 that fans learned a little dish about the cast of the show when Fox News interviewed Erin Murphy. She played Tabitha on the show. According to Murphy, Montgomery was a hoot behind the scenes. Her sense of humor was dark, not the way she played her character. Murphy told Fox, “She had a really dirty sense of humor…She was just one of those people who was so beautiful, but she wasn’t afraid to look silly –kind of like Lucille Ball…They could be really campy and funny. There was no fear there.”
13. The Secret of Alice Pearce
The character of Gladys Kravitz was subject to another actor swap, but not for the same reasons as the character of Darrin. Four months before landing the role of Gladys, doctors diagnosed Alice Pearce with ovarian cancer. They treated her and she decided to keep it to herself. Then, in the second season of the show, her symptoms started to worsen. She lost a dramatic amount of weight during that season, then passed away in March of 1966.
