You might remember actress Alice Pearce as the quirky and nosy neighbor Gladys Kravitz. In real life, Alice Pearce disappeared from the world of Bewitched suddenly she passed away in March 1966 from ovarian cancer. Pearce received her cancer diagnosis four months before she landed her role on the show. She had surgery, but doctors informed her that her ovarian cancer was terminal. She never told her coworkers about her illness. Although, if you watch the second season of the show, Alice’s drastic weight loss was quite obvious.

#12. Alice's Emmy Award

Alice Pearce was awarded a posthumous Outstanding Supporting Actress Emmy Award for her portrayal of nosy Gladys two months after her death. The cast certainly must have still been reeling from her death, especially as she didn’t let anyone know about her illness.

#13. The Truth behind Their Costumes

Kasey Rogers, who played Louise Tate, admitted that supporting actors provided their own wardrobes, and would bring their own clothes into the studio a week before filming. The wardrobe department would clean and press them.

#14. A Special Brooch

Agnes Moorehead often wore a starburst brooch that was set with 8.5 karats of old-mine diamonds. Elizabeth Montgomery often admired the pin. When Agnes passed away in 1974, she actually bequeathed the brooch to her TV daughter. What a lovely sentiment!
