Always loved Agnes Moorehead. But, I think my favorite performance of hers was as the hermit in the "Twilight Zone" episode "The Invaders". She never spoke a single word, but you still felt her fear. Agnes was wonderful in everything she did, especially as the sage in technicolor makeup on "Bewitched".
Respectfully, I watched The Invaders and I never did liked that episode along with seasons 1 and 2 of the twilight zone since it only had one dialogue coming from that invader robot towards the end of the episode. The episode was also creepy and perplexing too. Still hats off to Agnes on her performance, nonetheless.
Always adored Agnes Moorhead, but didn't know she could sing this well. That's not actor's sprechtsang, she really carries the song well. Great to see this, thanks.
Moorehead is of course best remembered for her superbly campy portrayal of Endora on ‘Bewitched’ (hey, that’s the power and reach of television + 50 years of global syndication/reruns). But most don’t know that she was one of the greatest character actresses in Hollywood history, particularly via her high profile collaborations with Orson Wells, who considered her the greatest actress ever. She had a varied and successful career, to say the least. Another fun bit of trivia: she and Debbie Reynolds were best pals. 😀 That’s pretty cool.
@ Jonathon Keiren... Find her radio performance of "Wrong Number". It will knock your socks off. Also, her performance on Twilight Zone. Both " one woman" shows. Although she has been said to be a lesbian, in fact, she was not. She had "men friends", was once married, but her demeanor promoted people to believe she was gay.
Just read a book that Debbie co-wrote.. telling about some of the people in Hollywood (who was nice / who wasn't) she said that Agness Moorehead was one of her best friends and that she was one of the best friends anyone could ever have. She was so nice. I didn't know she was a farmer. Heard her say that on a talk show.
@@stephenperretti8847 Who cares if Agnes Moorehead was a lesbian or not?? why do people always find that so god damn "titillating,?" It seems like you can't read any sort of bio about her and not find some mention about her friendship or otherwise, with Debbie Reynolds. Shame on you and everybody else who is so obsessed with that shit, both are now deceased and may both RIP.
I came across this clip and that sent me on a journey to see other things the marvelous Miss Moorehead had done. Came across one of her last appearances, as the mystery guest on 'What's My Line', and she mentioned that she had started in the St Louis Municipal Opera Company at the age of 10 (!), doing both singing and ballet.
Agnes Moorehead played Aunt Alicia in recorded version of Gigi. She sang a magnificent song called "The Contract" that was not in the movie but had been in the show. Check it out!
Actors from the New England area (although Moorehead grew up in the Midwest) spoke with Boston Brahmin accents, as that accent was considered American Posh, the speech of wealthy, sophisticated Americans. It was after World War II that the more midwestern Standard American English became the favored accent of the 1%.
Basically she played a mortal version of Endora with a son instead of a daughter, she even called her daughter-in-law "what's her name" like she used to do to Darren calling him "what's his name" on Bewitched.
This was a WEEKLY musical show. An amazing accomplishment. It didn't last more than part of one season. I guess it was just too "experimental" to succeed.
Yes, I was 10 years old when this ran and had already fallen in love with musicals due to my parents extensive record collection. (They had been lucky enough to see Julie Andrews/Richard Burton/Robert Goulet in the original cast production of Camelot!). So, this was 'must watch' TV at our house, but it was pretty clear from the beginning that it was facing an uphill battle for ratings. At that time, ABC was pretty much considered the 'poor cousin' network, NBC and CBS had been established far earlier and were seen as much more prestigious. But sometimes that led to ABC trying 'new things' like this show (and trying a 'gothic' soap opera called 'Dark Shadows'-another one of my childhood favorites!)
He was also one of the main characters on "Mad Men" as Bertram Cooper, Don Draper's boss of Sterling Cooper ad agency....then later, as one of Don's partners in the company.

Her portraying an unhappy woman getting stalked by the invaders in the Twilight Zone, i didn’t like it. However, I’ve always liked it when she portrayed Endora on Bewitched.
This wasn't lip-synched. The vocals for this and most songs on this show were recorded live on the set. That's why she keeps looking off to the side for her cue cards.
Agnes Moorehead could do anything and do it wonderfully! Look at her unbelievable career!
Yes! Agnes Moorehead was the consummate performance artist.

Robert Morse was a wonderful theatrical talent, rest in peace to both.
Never knew until now that the great Agnes Moorehead could sing, too! Such a bewitching and talented actress, indeed:) RIP
I never knew Agness could sing either. She was very good!! Miss seeing her on telly!!
Well, she isn’t tone deaf anyway.
I know Erin Murphy who played Tabitha from Bewitched misses Agnes Moorhead very much. RIP Agnes Moorhead.
She has a lovely voice that surprised me. She's always been one if my favourite characters on bewitched.
@@justincase6588 I agree with you wholeheartedly. She did have a pleasant speaking voice as well. Nice, strong, and clear:)
Omg, the greatest actress evah 🥰🌈 , thx for posting 🙏
I wish it was the complete episode....Agnes Moorehead was wonderful ...as usual
And in the song she refers to Robert Morse's wife as "What's-her-name"-- just like Endora called Darrin "Durwood"!
She was a talent that will be forever missed. R.I.P. Agnes...and thank you.
Always adored Agnes Moorhead, but didn't know she could sing this well. That's not actor's sprechtsang, she really carries the song well. Great to see this, thanks.
Agnes sings it to perfection! I love the talent of Ms. Moorehead. Listen to the way she enunciates in the song.
Robert and Agnes were both Wonderful. RIP
My favorite character on Bewitched.
Agnes played Madam Arcati in HIGH SPIRITS in stock in 1965 so it's great to hear how she sounded!

@@stephenperretti8847 heard someone say in an interview that that rumor was started by an ex-husband or Paul Lynde who could be quite the gossip.

Yes, knew she began her career as a singer--but am impressed her voice was so strong at 68! Good for her!
Thank you for that clip. I love Miss Moorhead and I truly appreciate your time and interest.
Robert Morse and Agnes Moorehead. Amazing.
I ❤ Agnes Moorehead
Love Agnes Moorehead she was great
Especially when she portrayed Endora on Bewitched and pulled a number of magical pranks on Darrin, portrayed by Dick York. 😂

SHE WAS AWSOME
A first for me! She did well!
As she did everything she graced.
Moorehead & Morse - two actors who always elevated any project or scene in which they appeared. Wonderful.
She was Born to the Theater. An Amazing, Timeless Talent.
I ❤ Agnes..a very Talented Rare Breed of Actress.🌟
Two of the great pros of 20th century showbiz. Delightful.
So good to see these clips showing up online!!
She also sang in the MGM musical SUMMER HOLIDAY
She was a great actress.
She was wonderful.
What a treat! love them both!!
I had no idea the agnes morehead could sing what a surprise!
Agnes actually began her career in musical comedy.
Agnes has a surprisingly good singing voice.
Ha Ha! I was at the taping of this show! Broadway and 80th Street theatre turned tv studio (later used by Sesame Street). Now a condo. :-(
What a lovely singing voice Agnes had!! Always remember to cover your mouths when you cough, people since she told him to do so.
More please!
Agnes could do it all. College educated, wonderful actress and a great speaking / singing voice
What a treasure
Ha, her baby boy(Robert Morse) is still alive at the age of 90. He was 37 here and Agnes was 68.
And now he's gone..a stage treasure.
Agnes Moorehead played Aunt Alicia in recorded version of Gigi. She sang a magnificent song called "The Contract" that was not in the movie but had been in the show. Check it out!
This is too cute. Thank you for posting, Mulligan.
Agnes had that MidAtlantic accent.
I think many actors from that era were trained to have that.
That's probably how Hepburn spoke the way she did!
Because she was born in Massachusettes.
Actors from the New England area (although Moorehead grew up in the Midwest) spoke with Boston Brahmin accents, as that accent was considered American Posh, the speech of wealthy, sophisticated Americans. It was after World War II that the more midwestern Standard American English became the favored accent of the 1%.
Awesome!! Had no idea!
May they both R.I.P.
Eterna endora ❤ 😢
Awesome!!!!
Great post. Thank you!
Agnes Moorehead reminds me of my wife`s sister - damn nearly identical.
Wow! I’ve only ever seen her as Endora!
Don’t forget she starred in The Bat and Twilight Zone
❤❤❤
What a shocker to see/hear Agnes Moorehead here.
Agnes Morehead sang good
Basically she played a mortal version of Endora with a son instead of a daughter, she even called her daughter-in-law "what's her name" like she used to do to Darren calling him "what's his name" on Bewitched.
Since you went away. Recommend movie, she has a small part, ww2 time period, Shirley temple, joseph cotton.
This was a WEEKLY musical show. An amazing accomplishment.

Thank you so much for sharing this clip! Is it possible to purchase a full copy of this episode, for streaming or for digital download?
She should have sang on a Bewitched!
Was there anything Agnes couldn’t do?
PS that watermark on the video is annoying as heck but what can ya do
oh brother, the alternative is not to see it at all -i’ll take the DISCREET watermark you can hardly see any day
Nope nothing she was great at every aspect of entertainment
Dance?
@@mkarlolive she started out as a dancer in the St. Louis Municipal Opera 😎
She sang on bewitched once
Unfortunately, she wasn't credited for it. 🙁💜⚘️
Wasn't the guy on a few episodes of Bewitched?? Cousin Melvin or something??
He was also one of the main characters on "Mad Men" as Bertram Cooper, Don Draper's boss of Sterling Cooper ad agency....then later, as one of Don's partners in the company.
That is the late great Robert Morse.
The watermark on this video is foul. It could be a discreet one in the corner, instead of taking up 1/3 of the screen. Horrid.

That's some kind of drug they gave Velma, bringing her back to life and making her sing! 😉
This could be Endora singing to Samantha.
If he was so sick, why didn't she call Dr. Bombay?
the screen does not have a good view since it says Mulligan Scott in big....

What? This was entertainment? The only episode I ever saw was with Mahalia Jackson in 1968 and I loved it.
Robert Morse?
Yes, indeed. Around the time of his Big Broadway success in “ How to succeed in Business without really trying”
WHat the heck is this???
Prefer not to watch it with STAMP across the screen.
Better than nothing

@@mulliganscottarchives7017 Never mind, my comment. Its ok, it's all good
@@shannonmohan6621 Never mind, my comment. Its ok, it's all good
I didn't like her, although Agnes was often picked for characters we're not supposed to like. I didn't understand that concept until later in life.
Her portraying an unhappy woman getting stalked by the invaders in the Twilight Zone, i didn’t like it. However, I’ve always liked it when she portrayed Endora on Bewitched.
Lip-synching isn't as easy as it looks. Agnes Moorehead's always great, though.
