Aunt Clara was played by Marion Lorne on 'Bewitched'. Her character was a sweetheart, babbling and rather klutzy, forgot spells and goofs up. Yet her heart was in the right place. She was one of the few family members of Samantha's that liked Darrin despite him being a mortal. Like the actress, Aunt Clara was a doorknob collector. Sadly, Marion died while Bewitched was still in production and on air, her character was retired/written off without any explanation but one could guess- after all, Aunt Clara was a witch! Marion won an Emmy award for her Clara role but unfortunately died before getting it (just like Alice Preace who was the original Gladys Kravitz) with Elizabeth Montgomery accepting on her behalf. It was believed that Clara was the sister of Endora and Uncle Arthur. Endora and Clara did share the red hair, so maybe?
