‘Bewitched’ Star Erin Murphy, 62, Addresses Facelift Rumors After Makeup-Free Photo Resurfaces

In 1966, a then-two-year-old Erin Murphy captivated TV viewers’ hearts as Tabitha Stephens, the onscreen daughter of Bewitched’s supernatural Samantha Stephens (played by Elizabeth Montgomery) and mere mortal Darrin Stephens (played by Dick York and Dick Sargent). Six decades later, Murphy is far from her toddler years, and at 62 she has plenty to say about aging gracefully in and out of the Hollywood spotlight.

One year ago, Murphy posted a gorgeous makeup-free photo on Instagram, clapping back against facelift rumors. When this story resurfaced in October of 2026, the former child star reposted the pic and added to the caption, explaining, “I posted this a year ago, and somehow it’s gotten picked up by the press again. I’ve had several magazines and news outlets reach out for a comment and an update. I’m 62 now. But still no facelift!”

Murphy continued, “Not that there’s anything wrong with having a facelift. My initial post was more about online bullying, which will never be OK.”

So what exactly did Murphy post in 2025? The 62-year-old stunner was 61 at the time and wrote, “This is 61…WITHOUT a facelift, without any makeup. Not sure why so many random people on social media feel the need to speculate that I’ve had a facelift; but I haven’t. I suppose it’s a backhanded compliment that you think I look good ‘for my age.'”

The former Bewitched star took aim at her online critics, adding, “Before you sit down at your computer and write something negative about someone you’ve never met, why don’t you think about something nice you can say, or don’t say anything at all.”

Based on the response to her new post, Murphy’s fans think she looks good for any age. “You look beautiful with or without makeup. You look younger than women in their 40s,” wrote one commenter.

Others added, “You were a darling little girl and still beautiful as an adult. You look healthy and great,” “62 never looked so good on you. Keep up the natural look,” “You’re absolutely stunning,” and “Natural beauty is always beautiful.”

And then there was this on-point Bewitched-themed response to Murphy’s magnificent makeup-less selfie: “No magic could make you look more beautiful.”

Murphy famously played Darrin and Samantha’s daughter Tabitha on the classic comedy from 1966 to 1972. Back in 2024, she opened up about Bewitched’s enduring legacy, telling People, “I think there’s something about Bewitched where it’s the magic, and it’s well-written, and the acting is amazing. And I think if something’s good, it stands up over time.”
