Erin Murphy, known for her role as Tabitha on Bewitched, has recently addressed speculation about her looks. At 61, she wants people to know her appearance is completely natural. In a candid Instagram post, she shared, “This is 61, without a facelift or any makeup.”
Murphy has faced comments about her youthful look, and she reflected on how unusual it is for people to make assumptions about others. “Not sure why so many feel the need to speculate,” she noted, adding it’s both surprising and somewhat flattering.
In her post, she also shared her scars—one from a dog-walking accident and another from a childhood fall, which even made it into an episode of Bewitched. “I have smile lines around my eyes since I laugh more than I cry, and a few freckles from enjoying the sunshine,” she wrote.
Murphy’s message emphasizes positivity and self-acceptance. She encourages everyone to think twice before leaving negative comments online. “Before you write something negative about someone you’ve never met, consider saying something nice instead,” she advised.
User reactions to her post were overwhelmingly positive. Fans praised her natural beauty and celebrated aging gracefully. One commented, “What you have are great genes!” while another said, “As we age, women often look more beautiful without surgeries.” This aligns with a growing trend in social media where embracing natural appearances is both empowering and inspiring.
The conversation around aging is changing. In the past, women often felt pressured to look younger, but current figures show a shift toward valuing authenticity. A survey by the AARP found that 63% of older adults believe society should celebrate aging rather than hide it.
Murphy’s approach encourages a culture of kindness and acceptance. It’s a reminder that beauty comes in many forms, and every scar tells a story. As she puts it, “Get outside and enjoy this beautiful day. That’s where I’ll be.”
