out to the pool.
One of Sandra’s guest rooms doubled as an office and had a sign on it that said “Caution, Baby Lion Sleeping!” Also in her office was a word processor that she had never taken out of the box, as she preferred the old fashioned world of her electric typewriter. She hated computers and would always say: “I don’t want anything on when I’m not!”
Sandra always kept plenty of hand written notes around, and one day when I was organizing her office, I discovered that some of these hand written notes were on the backs of old Bewitched scripts! I was absolutely mortified! She could have cared less and asked me if I wanted them… What do you think I said??? Unfortunately by that time, the only two scripts that were still salvageable were Mary the Good Fairy and Weep No More My Willow. (I made sure that she and Bernard Fox signed that one!)
One memorable evening, we were getting things ready for a dinner party when I noticed ANTS had made their way in and were crawling all over the kitchen counters and sink. Worrying that guests would be arriving any minute, I yelled, “Sandra, there are ants all over the place!” Not the least bit concerned, she said, “Those aren’t ants. That’s just pepper!” To which I replied, “Pepper doesn’t crawl through the sink!” Almost immediately guests began arriving, so all we could do was laugh… and squash!
Another occasion she allowed me in her kitchen was at a Labor Day cookout in 1996. She had a pot of plump hot dogs boiling on the stove, and every few minutes she would run over, stab one with a fork, pull it out, and wave it around while hollering, “Nobody I know!” “Nobody I know!”
Several times, Sandy wanted my help with a bit of redecorating. She needed a bookcase in her living room, so we decided to enclose the left side of her free-standing fireplace, which was only about two feet wide. This little project turned out great and it made a great open bookcase for her many “tchochkes.”
Once I made her a shower curtain out of some fabric we happened upon that exactly matched her bathroom wallpaper. Another one of our projects included building an “L” shaped storage bench under two windows in her bedroom. It turned out nicely, but oh that bedroom!! She must’ve had THIRTY YEARS worth of National Geographic Magazines stacked up in the corner. The sad thing is that when we tried to get rid of them, no school — no library — no one wanted them, so we ended up just throwing them out.
Every year, Sandra would come to our Hallowe’en parties at the condo. She had an incredible memory, noticing the smallest of details. If something wasn’t in the exact spot it was in at the previous year’s party, she’d ask me about it!
She was a whiz at remembering names, and when she met someone new at our parties, she had a knack of getting their life story out of them in ten minutes, and would always remember it when she ran into them again! “Oh, you’re Alex from Texas!”
Sandra liked to know everything that was going on and constantly insisted that Bernard Fox tell her how much he made at the autograph shows they all did together. It really got her goose, because he’d never tell!
With first husband CBS exec Larry Berns gone, Sandra was happily married for the second time to director Hollingsworth Morse. If the name sounds familiar, you’ve probably seen it on countless TV credits throughout the years; Lassie, Marcus Welby M.D., The Dukes of Hazzard, The Fall Guy, etc. And for those of us that remember Saturday morning TV, his name can also be found on the credits of H.R. Pufnstuf, Isis, and Shazam!
Kasey was always proud of the fact that she had played a small part in getting them together. One day on the Bewitched set, Sandra was chit-chatting with Kasey in between scenes. Sandra told her, “I don’t know what to do. Hollingsworth Morse has been pursuing me, is very interested in me, and has asked me to marry him. I just don’t
