On Friday, January 4, 2008, Elizabeth Montgomery's family, friends, and loyal fans gathered at 6533 Hollywood Blvd. in Los Angeles, CA to see her star unveiled on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. This posthumous award recognizes Elizabeth's achievements in movies and television.

Honorary Hollywood Mayor Johnny Grant performed the dedication, and spoke of how Elizabeth "is probably in the heavens laughing at us as we stand in the rain," as those in attendance huddled under a sea of umbrellas.


 

 

Two of her children, Rebecca and Bill Asher, accepted the award on her behalf, while son Robert and his family, ex-husband Bill Asher and his wife Meredith, and former Bewitched cast members Erin Murphy and Bernard Fox observed.

               


 

 

Her friend Liz Sheridan, who is best known for being Seinfeld's mother on another #1 situation comedy, spoke about her dear friend's financial help during hard times, and how Montgomery helped her get a movie role, as Rebecca and Bill Asher stood to her immediate left.

 

 

Elizabeth's husband at the time of her death, actor Robert Foxworth spoke about her as a person and a professional. He shared insight into how shy she was and how her acting helped her to overcome this shyness.

 

 

Former cast members mingled with fans and signed autographs, and Montgomery's family members hosted a private reception following the ceremony.

Unfortunately, Montgomery's Walk of Fame ceremony was the last one that honorary mayor Johnny Grant would preside over. He passed away in his bed at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel (where he had established full-time residence) on January 9, 2008 at the age of 84.
