Identical cousin of Samantha's, Serena was a free spirit, living live to the full and hopping around the cosmos on the slightest whim. A creature of the times Serena often changed her "look" to suit the latest trends. Her wildest transformation was that to Hippie, in the sixties, where she took part in "love ins" , peace rallies and writing ballads for popular recording artists. Not one to let the grass grow under her feet, Serena was never in one place too long. Or with any one person too long. Her list of boyfriends is legendary. She once decided to "find a mortal and marry it", however he turned out be an egotistic Warlock in disguise. Temperamental - boyfriends who have crossed her have been transformed into a variety of creatures and inanimate objects (anything from an antique bedwarmer to a large scaly monster living at the bottom of Loch Ness). She does possess "a sweet forgiving nature", however, especially when "the planet Icarus is passing between Jupiter and Venus". So , whenever this may be it's probably the best time to meet up with her!

From the Montgomery - Asher union came Bewitched. And as Montgomery pointed out "When people normally think of witches they imagine either funny old crones with long noses or someone kind of dark and sultry. The fact that i don't look exotic and witch like is an enormous boost for the show's humour" After eight years of Bewitched the show ended and so did Elizabeth's marriage to Asher. Elizabeth went on to star in many hit tv movies including "A case of Rape". "The legend of Lizzie Borden, "The Awakening land " and "Second sight".
