Marion Lorne

Marion Lorne

Died 10 days before winning an Emmy for Best Supporting Actress Award in a Comedy Series (for "Bewitched" (1964)).

Marion owned a collection of antique doorknobs, a fetish that was incorporated into her quirky Aunt Clara character on "Bewitched" (1964). The props department often used some of her pieces on the show.

Marion's ashes are interred at Ferncliff Cemetery, Hartsdale, NY.

She appeared in only three movies during her career. Coincidentally, in The Girl Rush (1955) with Rosalind Russell, Marion played the role of Aunt Clara, the same name as her most famous character on TV.

When she was still alive, most sources gave 1888 as her birth year. But after she died, the Social Security Death Index gave 1883 as her birth year. Her grave has 1885 on it, and to make it more confusing, 1886 is sometimes given.
