Bewitched's Samantha Stephens was a typical late-1960's housewife. She was demure and straight-laced. She had a loving husband, Darrin, a hothead who was incompetent in his job. She had an adorable daughter who followed in her mom's footsteps and an infant son. Her mother, Endora, who was estranged from her father, disliked Darrin. Oh, and Samantha was a witch.
Samantha had a cousin Serena. Except for her dark hair and heart-shaped birthmark, Serena was Samantha's identical twin. However, they were total opposites. Serena was a wild, free-spirit hippie with an affinity for psychedelic miniskirts. She kept company with prankster Uncle Arthur and she loved rock and roll music, once teaming with 60's singers Boyce and Hart. Oh, Serena was a witch, too.
Although popular for eight seasons, Bewitched met its demise at the hands of a more progressive show - All in The Family. Sadly, Elizabeth Montgomery, the actress who played Samantha, passed away on May 18, 1995. Pandora Spocks, the actress who played Serena, passed away at the exact same time.

Great illustration! I loved that show--actually, Elizabeth Montgomery played both parts, Sam & Serena. :)

Thanks for the kind words, Linda.
Actually, the "actress" reference was a joke.
My sister used to make me watch that show. I used to think of Serena as the fun druggy/sex-pot version of Samantha. Nice contrast on the piece.
Cute! Bewitched was one of favorites as a kid. I used to wiggle my nose hoping magic would do my chores! hehe Great illustration.
Loved Bewitched! Great idea and the illo is a blast!
BTW: I thought the "actress" joke was funny. :D
