Great video. Loved the matched 60s Whirlpool sets. I am guessing Mrs Tuttle was played by Agnes Moorehead, aka Endora from Bewitched.

Have a good one,
James

Mrs Tuttle

That is correct, Mrs Tuttle was played by Agnes Morehead.

There is a theory that her performance here was the basis of her being offered the Endora part, although I have seen it reported that Elizabeth Montgomery was out shopping with Bill Asher (her husband at the time) and saw Morehead shopping for real in a department store and thought she was perfect for the part.

Thanks for sharing that, Chris! I wouldn't mind heading back there for one of those turquoise Whirlpool washer/dryer sets, a KitchenAid portable dishwasher, one of those Tappan 'Fabulous 400' ranges... What a great Retro-spective of vintage appliances and store displays!!

And from what I read in the Agnes Moorehead biography "I Love The Illusion", she really didn't want to take the part of Endora. She thought it would never sell, so she decided to do the pilot. It's true, she was shopping in Bloomingdales when Elizabeth approached her do to the part "of the mother of a witch in a new television program". Elizabeth had only met Agnes one or two times before this, through he father, Robert Montgomery. So Agnes reluctantly agreed to do the pilot, and she demanded that the witch she play not be wicked, and that she would name the character herself. Hence, the name Endora comes from the bible as Agnes was a very religious person. In Samuel there is a reference to a medium known as "the witch of Endor". And there you have it Endora!.

By the way, I enjoyed watching that clip, I hadn't seen that movie in many years. It had a great cast of character actors in it. Agnes Moorehead, Richard Deacon, John McGiver (Many Happy Returns tv show) and Ray Walston. And Jil St. John, of course.

Thanks for the reference to the AM Biography as I was not aware that there was one - well more looking on US ebay for me then. I always loved her performance in Bewitched, and I am sure the bio must make fascinating reading

The autobiography "I Love The Illusion" is a pretty interesting read. It is by Charles Tranberg. The biographer never really spoke to AM. When she died she willed all her papers and correspondence to the University of Michigan. He read all that and spoke with friends of AM, including EM and DY.

And I did have an opportunity to meet AM once myself. She was a very formal person with impeccable manners. Debbie Reynolds was one of her best friends.

At one point she even adopted a son, who ran away and was never heard from again. When she was in the hospital dying, she told everyone not to try to look him up.

After reading the book, I think that AM thought she was the Grand Dame of acting. She had a very long career, but I she only received one Emmy and missed an Oscar or two. A lot of directors thought "Get me Agnes Moorehead, she can play ANYTHING!"

It's a testament to her abilities that she could go from playing Bette Davis' "white-trash" maid in "Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte" and in the next year or so become "Endora"!

I could watch Bewitched all day long and never get bored. I would love to have a home just like Samantha's down to the very last detail.
