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.
