Her performances were as vivid as her hair colour, to such a degree that to this day just by shrieking 'Abner! ABNER!!' even a middling impressionist can reduce me to a giggling mass.After Bewitched went off the air in 1972 Gould never lacked for work; by the time she died - on this day in 1999 - she'd also appeared in The Brady Bunch, Punky Brewster, Friends and Veronica's Closet as well as reprising her role in the short-lived 1977 Bewitched spin-off Tabitha. On the big-screen, her accomplishments include an appearance in The Ghost and Mr. Chicken with no less a comedy legend than Don Knotts.

Everybody's aware of the two Darrens, but two Mrs. Kravitzs as well?!?! (Kravitzi?)
Holy Moley. Mr. PCI, you are a cornucopia of fascinating factoids.
Because Alice Pearce only appeared in the black and white episodes, and given the novelty of colour TV when it was introduced in the mid to late Sixties, the B&W episodes didn't get rerun or syndicated.
The poor dear lady (whose career was illustrious - she played Betty Garrett's roommate in "On The Town", for instance) seems to have been consigned to the pop culture's File 13; I'll be featuring more about Alice Pearce forthwith.
