Jodie Foster Could’ve Been Our Tabitha

Without Tabitha, Samantha and Darrin’s daughter, Bewitched would not be the same. Also, we are unable to picture anyone else in the part but Erin Murphy. But did you know that Jodie Foster, who would later feature in Silence of the Lambs, was nearly given that role? I mean, really! Helen Hunt was actually a contender for the role of Tabitha.

From Driving Instructor To Uncle Arthur

Paul Lynde immediately rose to fame as a frequent guest star after making his on-screen debut as eccentric Uncle Arthur. However, devoted viewers will be aware that Lynde played a variety of roles on the sitcom in addition to Arthur. The actor made his Bewitched debut in the episode “Driving is the Only Way to Fly” as a jittery driving instructor, but he seems to have impressed the powers that be so much that he ended up getting a bigger role.
