Can you believe this amazing actress would have been 116 today! I have only seen Agnes Moorehead in a few movies, all of which I loved and of course adored her in the reruns of Bewitched! And I ask, could anyone do a blue eyeshadow better?
"Permissiveness in society springs from a lack of standards. There must be a rule of behavior, an appreciation of basic values"

" Legalizing prostitution wouldn't make any difference these days anyway. The whole country is loose, so what's the difference. I don't care what everybody else is doing. I just look at whether it's right or wrong."

A Happy Birthday to You!!!!
Agnes Moorehead
December 6, 1900
I once read somewhere that she had her New York City apartment recreated in house form in LA so that that when she was shooting Bewitched she'd feel at home; she even had two of everything purchased so she'd never be without no matter where she was living.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if it's true, but I loved the idea.
That's why I always have two men with me at all times.
Deleteor two G&Ts!

ReplyDeleteI ADORED HER! And was very under used I feel.
ReplyDeleteBy many accounts, she was an absolute c**t in real life, but Miss Moorehead remains a camp icon to this day, nonetheless!! Jx
ReplyDeleteBut aren't we all at some point? lol
DeleteI know I AM! :)
DeleteWhen I was a kid, I loved her as Aunt Agatha!
ReplyDeleteWhat show was that in? Jx
DeleteI believe Moorehead played Endora. But there was another actress who played Samantha's Aunt Clara.
DeleteI loved Moorehead ever since I first saw her as bitchy Aunt Reed in "Jane Eyre".
ReplyDeleteShe was the ONLY one who could do blue eye shadow.
ReplyDeleteI want that teeny telephone.
It is cute dear, but who uses a land line anymore?
DeleteI do! I have a landline at home.
DeleteLove her and her blue eyeshadow!
