Then & Now: What Former Bewitched Star Erin Murphy Looks Like Now
If you were a fan of the '60s sitcom "Bewitched" back in the day, you'll surely remember iconic witch Samantha Stephens (played by actor Elizabeth Montgomery) and all her nose-wiggling antics. We also can't forget about her adorable daughter Tabitha Stephens (also a witch), played by actor Erin Murphy. The blond baby witch couldn't have been cuter, and Tabitha is one of our favorite baby names inspired by a classic TV show. While the former child star is best remembered as a precocious tot (Murphy was just two years old when she joined the cast of the show), so much has changed since then.
Like other child stars who grew up to be gorgeous, a side-by-side look at Murphy in 1966 from Season 3 of "Bewitched" and in February 2026 shows how the actor is aging like fine wine. Now 62 years old, the former "Bewitched" star hasn't lost her youthful features and beautiful smile. Murphy also still speaks fondly of her time on the show. She told New Idea in a 2026 interview how much she loved that time in her life. "Working on 'Bewitched' was so much fun," she said. "I recall most of my six years on the show with great clarity... As it was a series with magic, it was like Disneyland for a wide-eyed kid like me."
Erin Murphy grew up to be a total bombshell
It's nice to see that Erin Murphy is still pretty active on social media, often sharing gorgeous selfies and fun throwback pics. The actor has shared photos from her time on "Bewitched," along with shots of herself after she'd gotten a little older. The photo above on the left was taken in 1998 and, as you can see, Murphy was a total stunner during that era. She had a shorter, layered haircut with a multi-dimensional honey-blond color that looked super flattering with her face shape and skin tone. But honestly, she's still a bombshell today!
The shot on the right was taken in September 2026. The actor has remained a blond all these years, but she also seems to be blending in some gray to seamlessly transform her hair as she ages. We love to see celebrities embracing their gray hair, and Murphy is wearing hers with grace and ease. She also keeps her makeup simple and elegant, and it really complements her natural beauty and gorgeous green eyes. It's great to see the "Bewitched" star thriving after all these years, and for fans of the show, there's reportedly a new reboot series in the works. Murphy has already expressed that she would love to be included, so perhaps we'll see her reprise her role as Tabitha.
