Darrin and Samantha's daughter, Tabitha, shows signs that she may be a powerful witch in the Season 3 episode "Witches and Warlocks are My Favorite Things." So a trio of Samantha's aunts, who comprise the Witch Certification Committee, descends on the Stephens' home to ensure that she receives the proper training. Endora is, of course, in their number, as is Aunt Hagatha, who runs the school for witches. The third member of the committee is Samantha's Aunt Enchantra, who like Endora, has little good to say about mortals like Darrin.
As with Aunt Hagatha, three different actresses played Enchantra in three separate episodes: Diana Chesney, who also essayed Hagatha, Ottola Nesmith, and Estelle Winwood. All three performers had long careers, but the British-born Winwood was perhaps the most familiar of the trio thanks to numerous appearances on Broadway and episodic television. Her small screen credits included everything from "The Twilight Zone" and "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." to recurring appearances on "Batman" as Hilda, the jittery aunt of Carolyn Jones' guest villain, Marsha, Queen of Diamonds.
Winwood, whose film credits included Mel Brooks' "The Producers" and the Neil Simon-penned "Murder By Death," made her final screen appearance at the age of 97 in a 1980 episode of "Quincy, M.E." Four years later, she died in her sleep at the age of 101 on June 20, 1984.
