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.
SamSarah pops back over a few days later to capture some
sunny day pics of the star.

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.
