  • Rarely interviewed, Agnes Moorehead is interviewed, but does not talk about her TV show, “Bewitched.” (Presumably at her request since it is so noticeably absent during the entire talk show interview). There is much NOT discussed in this rare interview, i.e., marriages, adopted son, etc.

    Agnes passed away in 1974, and her mother was like 91 at the time. Mooreheads mother lived to be 106 when she passed in the early 1990's. Agnes was super talented.

    we talk about her stage work and her movie and television roles. But she has the very rarest of credit lists. Moorehead was an incredibly versatile and prolific radio actor. She was once hailed as the first lady of suspense appearing in Calvacade of America, Suspense Theater, Mercury Group theater, Campbell Playhouse etc. Despite being a contract player under MGM, Agnes was unique in that she insisted on a clause allowing her to continue to work in radio. It all shows in her acting style with perfect diction, and one of the most expressive , passionate and revealing of vocal virtuosity in any media. Not many can do more with a line or monologue than Moorehead. Nobody is ever going to have that kind of versatility in experience

      I was going to comment on her mid-Atlantic accent. It's not as pronounced in this interview as it was when she was working on Bewitched. The accent seems to disappear and reappear again throughout the interview, it's very very interesting. I'm absolutely fascinated with the mid-Atlantic accent, and often wear it myself. Kelsey Grammer was a master of mid-Atlantic English, and pulled it off brilliantly for over 20 years with his Frasier character. The pronunciation seems so formal and out of place in American culture these days, but I still think it's beautiful. There are still a handful of people today who talk like that - maybe from upbringing, or maybe from schooling, who knows. I don't care why they speak that way, I just love it.

    Agnes reminds me of my grandmother, who inherited the farm after her husband died. She and her son ran it. She continued with a 2-acre garden until her '90s. And she'd walk around the house in a bright flowy day dress.
