Tabitha from ‘Bewitched’ Shows Rare Pics of 2 Grandkids Having 'Too Much Fun' in Her $2.3M Malibu Home
- The youngest actor on "Bewitched," Erin Murphy, rose to fame while acting in the sitcom until 1972.
- She moved out of Los Angeles with her family after the show ended but later returned after she got married.
- Now, Erin is a mother of six sons and a doting grandmother who lives in a two-bedroom condo in Malibu.
Best known for her role as the young Tabitha Stephens in the 1960s sitcom "Bewitched," Erin Murphy was only two when she first appeared on the screen. She shared her first TV role with her twin sister, Diane Murphy until the girls stopped looking alike.
Diane left the show, but Erin continued playing the role of the young witch until 1972. She rose to fame because of her acting skills and soon received offers from other TV shows after "Bewitched" ended.

As a grown-up, Erin worked as a director, stylist, makeup artist, motivational speaker, and teacher. She is a multi-talented woman who took on several roles and gave her best to build her career.
Erin tied the knot multiple times and became a mother to six children. After spending her life raising her kids, she now enjoys being a doting grandmother to adorable children. The actress recently shared photos of her grandchildren on her Instagram profile.
What Did Erin Murphy Do after "Bewitched" Ended?
Erin's recent Instagram post shows her lookalike granddaughter and her grandson having fun in her house. In the first photo of several, the kids are holding popsicles while posing for the camera inside their grandmother's home.
"I think I may be 'too much fun' ... my summer guests have told me that they never want to leave!" Erin captioned her post after wishing her fans a "Happy 4th of July weekend." She also shared several other photos of her grandkids having some summer fun.
In March 2023, the doting grandmother posted photos of her beautiful grandchildren as she expressed her grief over the Nashville school shooting incident. She shared that she went to Nashville about two weeks before the incident and had fun there with her grandkids, saying:
"We went to the zoo twice and the Science Center. We did art projects and played with bubbles."
The actress now loves spending time with her little grandchildren, but she clearly remembers how she had built a close bond with her on-screen parents Elizabeth Montgomery and Dick York.
"They really were like parents to me," Erin said. Montgomery treated her like a daughter, guiding her sincerely like a parent. The former child star admitted she was more like Montgomery than her real-life mother.
"Elizabeth Montgomery and Dick York were wonderful people, and I learned a lot from all of them," Erin confessed in an interview with Closer Weekly, sharing that she remembered what used to happen behind the scenes while shooting for the show.
As a child on the set, Erin was fascinated by the elephants and monkeys present there, and those memories are still fresh in her mind. She also remembers how everyone treated her like family over there.
While Erin loved being around actors as a kid, her sister Diane didn't share the same feelings. "My sister used to cry when they would bring her on set. Even now, she hates it," Erin said.
After the show ended, Erin worked in a few commercials before her family moved to Orange County. Because of the move, she turned down many acting offers but enjoyed her time at school.
The actress had her first son when she was 21 and lived with her first husband on their Arizona ranch. Soon, she moved back to Los Angeles, where she first started her career as a child actor.
After returning to the industry, Erin appeared as a host and judge on TV screens. She also accepted offers for product endorsements. Meanwhile, she volunteered at children's charity events and worked towards increasing awareness regarding autism in children.
Her focus shifted towards autism after her son, Parker, was diagnosed. "I think it's important to be there for other parents who have questions," she said while revealing what she did to raise awareness regarding autism.
Erin Murphy's New Home
Decades after first appearing as a child star, Erin spent her savings on buying her $2.3 million "dream home" in Malibu. The home has wall-length windows opening to a beautiful view of the blue ocean. She purchased the 2-bedroom condo in Malibu, California, in 2018.
The three-story condo has white walls and wooden flooring that gives a clean look to the space. The kitchen cabinets are white, complementing the walls and island with a black countertop.
The best part about the condo is the oceanfront view that allows its residents to enjoy the serene sunset while watching waves form on the water's surface. The terrace has glass walls that don't hinder one's view of the ocean, even while standing inside the dining room.
The condo's bedroom has a walk-in closet, a modern bathroom, and an entertainment unit. The residence also has a guest bedroom that offers a beautiful oceanfront view on the lowest story of the condo.
