Tabitha from 'Bewitched' Breaks Stereotypes with Her Look at 58 after Raising 6 Sons & Having 2 Grandkids

• The actress who played Tabitha Stephens on "Bewitched" is 58, and she's breaking stereotypes about older women!
• Erin Margaret Murphy is the mother of 6 sons, one of whom is ill.
• After becoming famous, she became a doting grandma with two successful businesses.

Erin Margaret Murphy cut her teeth on the hit TV show "Bewitched." Murphy portrayed the character of Tabitha Stephens for six seasons, starting her acting career at the age of two. She and her twin sister, Diane Murphy, spent a considerable part of their childhood on the sitcom's set, and Murphy even made lifelong connections.

She looks back at her days playing Tabitha with nostalgia, saying she met wonderful people on the show. She grew close with the actress Agnes Moorehead, saying Moorehead became like a grandmother to her. The older actress would often entertain young Murphy in between shoots, telling her stories and drawing cartoons for her.

Since Murphy rarely saw her grandparents, her relationship with Moorehead blossomed. Of course, Murphy also grew close to her on-screen parents, Elizabeth Montgomery and Dick York — later replaced by Dick Sargent. Murphy revealed that the "Bewitched" set was "a great place to grow up."

Even though raising six boys has been "crazy," Murphy admits, "It's a lot of fun."

These days, Murphy looks back at her time on the hit TV show with fondness. Fans complimented the 58-year-old on a recent post, saying her long hair looked tremendous. One fan wrote, "You can't possibly be 50. I remember you as a child on Bewitched. If your 50, why do I now feel like I'm 80?"

Besides stunning her fans with her youthful looks, Murphy has quite a bit on her plate every day. The actress has been married several times in the past, and she had six sons from her various husbands. Murphy opened up about raising her boys, saying it has been a wonderful experience that she wouldn't trade for anything.

Although Murphy has largely retired from acting, she keeps busy with a slew of other profitable endeavors.

When asked why she decided to have so many kids, Murphy answered that she always wanted a big family, although her initial idea was to have one boy and one girl. The actress admitted that if she had had a girl sometime in her life, she might have had fewer kids, but she doesn't regret having her boys.

Even though raising six boys has been "crazy," Murphy admits, "It's a lot of fun." She mentioned that none of her kids have followed in her footsteps, even though she would have supported them if they wanted to. However, the actress remains supportive of her children, saying she wants them to do what makes them happy.

Besides her rowdy six boys, Murphy is also a doting grandmother. She often shares photos of herself on Instagram, spending time with her two granddaughters. She posted a video of the three of them dancing to a sound clip on TikTok, captioning it, "You're never too old to be silly!"

Murphy opened up about her son, Parker. Although he was diagnosed with autism as a child, Murphy has been involved with children's charities and autism charities since before she was pregnant with her son. Once he was born, however, she prioritized autism charities and understood the condition on a much more personal level.

Although Murphy has largely retired from acting, she keeps busy with a slew of other profitable endeavors. The actress made money with commercials, modeling, and auditioning with other child actors after "Bewitched" ended, but she chose to forego her career when she moved to Orange County.

Later on, she chose to step behind the camera, working in production and make-up design. She also started hosting reality shows and endorsing products, using her renown to her advantage. Erin also saw an opportunity and started two highly successful businesses besides being a full-time mom.

Erin owns Erin Murphy Knits, a business focused on producing high-quality alpaca knitwear that the actress makes herself. She also runs the company Slim Chillers, a big-scale business that sells vodka martini ice pops to every U.S. state and parts of Australia and China. The actress commented on why she's so busy, saying:

"I don't ever want to be complacent."

Besides running her businesses and taking care of her children, Erin devotes a great deal of attention to various charities. Like the actor Brendan Fraser, she cares for her autistic son and advocates for autism. She noted, "I have a strong belief that you need to give back," adding that her life was great and she had no complaints.
