“Oh, goodie,” an enthused Elizabeth said, and she opened the gates.

She was expecting Herbie as he was the one person her ex-husband Bill Asher told her to talk with. Herbie was there to write a book on the star’s most iconic series.

His stories, along with countless others, are captured in the new documentary Elizabeth Montgomery: A Bewitched Life that aired in April on Reelz.
