My Take
Ghostley is the kind of character actress I cherish, the scene-stealer who makes the leads look better. I admire that she dropped out of university to chase the stage and then validated that gamble with a Tony for Best Featured Actress in 1965. Most people remember her as the bumbling witch Esmeralda on Bewitched, and rightly so, but her gift was making bit parts unforgettable. Carrying a film or show from the wings is a craft only true professionals possess. Across a long life she sang and acted with warmth and wit, and I think such reliable supporting players deserve far more remembrance than they get.
