Beautiful Elizabeth Montgomery on her third day playing "Password" with funny man Jim Backus which originally aired on Wednesday, December 14, 1966 on CBS.

Liz is best known as Samantha from "Bewitched". Jim is best known as Mr. Howell from "Gilligan's Island" and the voice of Mr. Magoo. The two appeared together in the feature film "Johnny Cool" where Liz met her third husband William Asher, who was the main director and co-producer of "Bewitched".

Many of the outfits Liz wore on "Password" she also wore on "Bewitched."

This is neat to see Liz and Jim. How are these video clips available? Were they on classic TV?

@mojoidol They aired on the Game Show Network several years ago. I wish they would air them again.

Jim Backus was born on this date in 1913. {Feb. 25th}

Sadly, Mr. Backus passed away on July 3rd, 1989... May he R.I.P.

Thank God these tapes weren't erased or used over like the first decade of the Tonight Show" with Johnny Carson. So many priceless moments lost.

Poor Lizzy! So died to young. She would be my great grandma's age now. She died from a cancer that had no cure. RIP ELIZABETH MONTGOMERY
