Stay with me….
My wife and I were traveling, and as a joke I said, “Okay Samantha, I’m tired. I know I said no witchcraft, but just this once you can twinkle your nose and make us be there.” We started trying to twitch our noses like Samantha on Bewitched and obviously couldn’t do it. We laughed, and she said that Elizabeth Montgomery couldn’t do it either, and I argued that she could. This was the ‘60s, so CGI didn’t exist. So my wife gets on Google and looks it up, and it turns out that Elizabeth Montgomery NEVER MOVED HER NOSE, IT WAS HER UPPER LIP THE WHOLE TIME!
I didn’t believe it. It COULDN’T be true. I’ve watch almost every episode growing up, and she twitched her NOSE. We went to YouTube, and, son of a gun, It was her upper lip. EVERY TIME. And once you see it, you can’t unsee it.
I don’t know anything anymore.
Just watched a compilation. Her nose doesn’t move at all. I am flummoxed.
Did you bring enough to share with the class?
But when Samantha had her little baby Tabitha, and Tabitha grew up, Tabitha would use her finger to wiggle her nose.
And now you can’t unsee it.
What’s confusing me is that her nose doesn’t even kind of move. Like, there’s no illusion at play, it is literally just her lips moving. This is The Berenstain Bears all over again!
