Fun Facts About Bill and Liz
|
Here are some fun facts about the couple: Prior
to Bewitched, Bill and Liz met on the set of Johnny Cool.
He was directing this movie and she was the female lead when they met
and consequently fell in love. They were married on October 26, 1963. Bill gave
Liz a gorgeous, diamond heart necklace that was incorporated into her
character, Samantha's, wardrobe on Bewitched. Liz made
a cameo appearance in Asher's famous How To Stuff a Wild Bikini
beach party movie and does the famous "witch twitch" from Bewitched. They have
3 children: Robert, William, and Rebecca Asher. There are 2 grandchildren:
Elizabeth Anne and William Robert Asher (names courtesy of www.bewitched.net). In episode
# 174, a very pregnant Samantha is
popped over to a baseball stadium when she craves a hotdog. She goes
to a pay phone to call Darrin and there is graffiti on the wall. There
is a heart drawn above Samantha's head that says, "B.A. + E.M." Clearly,
the couple snuck their own initials into the set design. In the final
season of Bewitched, the couple formed a production company using
the first syllable of each of their last names. Look for the Ashmont
Productions credit on Bewitched shows from the eighth
season. Bill was
already a well-known director from working on the I Love Lucy
show (and many others) prior to Bewitched and worked on The
Paul Lynde Show (yes, Uncle Arthur had his own show) and Alice
in the 1970s after Bewitched ended. Bill's dad, Ephraim M. Asher, was a film producer whose credits include Dracula (1931) and Frankenstein (1931). While Liz's dad was the famous actor/director Robert Montgomery of Lady in the Lake (1947) and Night Must Fall (1937) fame. Both of their mothers were actresses prior to starting their families. |
