Kasey Rogers dead at 80

Louise and Larry TateI know, the name probably doesn't ring a bell, but you'll certainly remember the role she's famous for. Rogers played Louise Tate, Larry Tate's wife on Bewitched. She died on July 6 in L.A. following a stroke.

Tate had a lot of television roles over the years, on many shows including Perry Mason, Adam-12, Maverick, Wanted: Dead or Alive, and 77 Sunset Strip. Here's something I didn't know though: she was the wife strangled in the classic Alfred Hitchcock film Strangers on a Train! She played the role under the name Laura Elliott.

On a side note, did Louise know how much of a drinking problem her husband Larry had? I mean, seriously. You watch Bewitched, and he always has a drink in his hand, whether it's at Samantha and Darrin's house, at a restaurant, or when he's smoozing a client for his ad agency. Forget that "Hi Bob" drinking game for Bob Newhart. Watch Bewitched and take a shot everytime Larry drinks.

But those were the carefree days of the 60s, when drinking too much was cool and cigarettes weren't bad for you.

The Tates were both problem drinkers. There was one episode where Louise was pregnant and she was drinking at the Stephens' home......

But like you said, it was a different time.....

I remember Ms Rogers very well. As I recall, she as did Liz Montgomery had great legs, even though she was most likely in her mid-forties when she was on Bewitched. I remember one scene where Kasey was sitting on the sofa talking to Samantha about something and she had her legs crossed in a nice short miniskirt. I had a crush on her after that episode aired. I was only 15 or 16 at the time lol.
