Erin Murphy famously played the role of Tabitha on Bewitched, the mystical daughter of Samantha Stephens, and her human husband, Darrin Stephens. After her successful stint as little Tabitha, Erin Murphy went on to play several other roles on various projects.

But once she got married, she decided to take a step back from her career. The actress focused her time and energies on raising her six children from her three husbands.

She is now a 59-year-old doting grandmother, with her granddaughter Sayler even graduating Junior High while Murphy was there in attendance! She posted pictures of her granddaughter holding a bouquet as she hugs her close to her chest. Fans loved this glimpse of Murphy as a doting grandmother and commented how adorable they found it.

“Awesome and lovely photo cute lol love hugs and kisses,” a fan commented. While another wrote, “Congratulations, you both look adorable and amazing together.” Her granddaughter bears such a striking resemblance to her famous grandmother as well!

Some might not know, but Erin Murphy shared the role of Tabitha with her twin sister Diane Murphy. However, a few episodes in, and she started playing the role on her own. She later revealed in an interview on Studio 10 in 2020 how that came to be because she shared no resemblance with her sister.

“My sister and I are fraternal twins, and they were only auditioning twins for the part of Tabitha because twins can work more hours,” Erin shared years later. “As soon as they hired us, they realized that we really don’t look that much alike.”

Apart from Bewitched she appeared on an episode of Lassie in 1973 and also appeared in the 1979 movie Deadly Fighters. After this role, she took a break from working as an actress and focused on her life instead.

“I’ve been able to continue in the business and say no to a lot of stuff and occasionally do things for fun. I was offered jobs right after Bewitched and I turned them down. I went to Girl Scout camp instead of doing a part on The Waltons. So I kind of walked away from the business,” she explained years later in an interview to Closer in 2020. “I haven’t had an acting agent in years, even though I still do a few acting jobs every year. I do a lot of theater now. I’ve done a bunch of webseries and pilots, basically as favors to friends.”
