If you grew up watching Bewitched, then you are very familiar with Tabitha Stephens. From the second season until the series finale, Erin Murphy played Samantha’s daughter, making the young actor one of the most recognizable actors in the world.
But would you recognize her now? Probably not! After Bewitched, Murphy spent most of her time offscreen, so fans didn’t really get a chance to see her grow up in film or television. What has she been up to, and what does little Tabitha Stephens look like now? Keep reading to find out!
What she did after ‘Bewitching’ ended
Erin Murphy was only eight years old when Bewitched ended in 1972. This was an important point in the young professional’s life. Would she continue acting, or would she hang it up for good?
In Murphy’s case, she dipped her toe into smaller acting projects such as appearing in a single episode of the popular Lassie television show. Her real focus, though, was acting in commercials. In an interview with Life After 50, she said, “I did over 80 commercials up until I was in junior high. By then, I kind of lost interest, because I was into things like cheerleading and school activities.”
She did, in fact, get to have a normal school experience, especially when she attended El Toro High School. There, she excelled as a cheerleader and even managed to get crowned the homecoming queen. It sounds like even offscreen, Murphy knows a bit about “bewitching” people.
