LOS ANGELES - A posthumous star honoring “Bewitched” star Elizabeth Montgomery was unveiled on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in a rainy Friday ceremony.

Montgomery “is probably in the heavens laughing at us as we stand in the rain,” said honorary Hollywood Mayor Johnny Grant.

In the television show, Montgomery portrayed a witch trying to live as a housewife. The sitcom ran from 1964 into the early 1970s.
