Marion Lorne (Bewitched's Aunt Clara) born 1883



Marion Lorne, who played the lovable, bumbling Aunt Clara on television's Bewitched, was born August 12, 1883, in West Pittston, Pennsylvania.  She was nominated five times for a Primetime Emmy, twice for her performance in Bewitched, winning once.  

She won for Outstanding Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Comedy in 1968, just ten days after she passed away from a heart attack. Elizabeth Montgomery accepted on her behalf, giving a touching acceptance speech.
