Endora is a fictional character from the television series Bewitched, which aired from 1964 to 1972. She is the mother of Samantha Stephens, the show's main character, who is a witch. Endora is known for her glamorous appearance, magical abilities, and her often disapproving attitude towards Samantha's choice to marry a mortal, Darrin Stephens. In the series, Endora frequently uses her powers to create mischief and challenge Darrin, often leading to humorous situations. Her character embodies the classic trope of a meddling mother-in-law, and her interactions with other characters highlight the contrast between the magical and non-magical worlds.
