Happy Birthday wishes go out to twins Erin and Diane Murphy who played "Tabitha" in the television series "Bewitched" in the mid 60's and early 70's.  The more I do this blog, the more I learn.  I didn't know "Tabitha" was played by twins.  It turns out "Tabitha" was played by two sets of twins before the Murphy's.  Erin took on the part alone when she and her sister began to look less and less alike in season 4.
 


 
Erin and Diane were born in Encino, California, and went to El Toro High School.  Erin was a cheer leader and homecoming queen.  After "Bewitched", Erin guest starred in the series "Lassie" and did over 100 commercials.

 
As an adult,  Erin has worked as a casting director, makup artist, fashion stylist, acting teacher, motivational speaker, and stunt double for actress Virginia Madsen.  Erin did some modeling as well, with, among others, "Hang Ten" swimwear.  Erin is married to her third husband,  Darren Dunknel, and has six sons.


 
Diane dropped out of acting in her teens and there isn't much else written about her.
