Alice Pearce originated Bewitched’s Gladys Kravitz, the nosy neighbor who noticed all kinds of strange happenings at the Stephens’ house. Pearce played the role while privately battling ovarian cancer. Sadly, she passed away during the show’s second season. Sandra Gould stepped in for the show’s remaining run, giving the character a sharper, more openly antagonistic edge than Pearce’s frazzled, but warmer portrayal. Pearce posthumously won an Emmy for her role as Gladys Kravitz. Cast your vote for the better busybody!
