Bewitched, Borden, and black widow: The Elizabeth Montgomery BET-CRP
the true crime that's worth your time
Welcome back to another edition of the BET-CRP – the Best Evidence True-Crime Résumé Percentage! We haven't done one in a minute, plus I finally got my act together and pulled the first one over here to the new place so I could link to the points rundown.
If you're new to the concept, that link should explain it; the short version is that it's a quantification of an actor's (or director's, or author's) true-crime c.v.
the (surprising) rest of the rundown is here (or upgrade to paid to get the whole thing in your inbox, easy peasy lemon-squeezy)
I'd had Elizabeth Montgomery on my BET-CRP to-do list for aaaages, because of course Bewitched was the lede in the obit, but then it started to seem over the years like every single other reference to Montgomery that I came across involved a major-case TV movie in which she played a recognizable genre figure.
