12. Pearce’s Emmy
Playing the annoying character next door can be fun, but one doesn’t expect audiences to like the character. That’s what makes the nosy neighbor interesting; it’s the bad guy (gal) without all the evilness. Pierce did it so well, she won over audiences enough to earn a posthumous Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress. She’d been gone two months when the Emmy’s aired, her role filled by Sandra Gould. The cast of Bewitched was still in mourning, making the ceremony an emotional event.
