Agnes Robertson Moorehead, commonly known as Agnes Moorehead, was born on December 6, 1900. She was an incredibly talented American actress whose expansive career spanned over five decades. Not only did her work encompass radio, stage, film, and television, but she also received recognition for her efforts, including a Primetime Emmy Award and two Golden Globe Awards. Additionally, she was nominated for four Academy Awards. Moorehead was a part of Orson Welles' Mercury Players, becoming one of his principal performers in 1937. She held notable roles in numerous films like Citizen Kane (1941), Dark Passage (1947), Show Boat (1951), and All That Heaven Allows (1955). Moorehead’s performances in films such as The Magnificent Ambersons (1942), Mrs. Parkington (1944), Johnny Belinda (1948), and Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte (1964) garnered her four nominations for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. She was also recognized for the radioplay Sorry, Wrong Number (1943).
Moorehead gained an esteemed reputation for her role as Endora on the ABC sitcom Bewitched, which she played from 1964 to 1972. Her performance earned her six nominations for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series. She won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her role on the western series The Wild Wild West. Despite being remembered for her role in Bewitched, Moorehead was sure to remind interviewers of her esteemed career prior to the sitcom, having played in movies and theatre across the coast and not wanting to be identified solely as 'the witch'. She found the script quality for television often below standard and even dismissed most of the Bewitched scripts as 'hack'. Moorehead passed away on April 30, 1974 due to uterine cancer at the Mayo Clinic Hospital in Rochester, Minnesota.
