Bewitched child star, now 58, looks so different making ultra-rare public appearance decades after retirement

The stars of Bewitched have seemingly still got that magic in them!

Over the weekend, one of the popular '60s and '70s fantasy sitcom's fan pages shared a photo from The Hollywood Show convention with one of the show's child stars, David Lawrence.

Now going by David Mandel-Bloch, the actor was just a toddler when he began playing Adam Stephens, the younger son of the show's leads Samantha and Darrin.

David and his twin brother Greg would switch in and out of the role, appearing on the show for 17 episodes between 1970 and 1972.

"Thrilled to have seen David Lawrence aka Adam Stephens at the Hollywood Show this weekend!" the fanpage owner wrote on Instagram, showcasing the now 58-year-old sporting tufts of graying hair and a Bob Dylan graphic T-shirt.

After the show's 1972 conclusion, David briefly appeared in an episode of ABC Afterschool Specials in 1973, as well as an uncredited role in the 1976 TV movie Victory at Entebbe. However, he retired from acting soon after.

Per his IMDb page, his only other screen credits since then include two appearances as himself, in the 1992 TV series Vicki!, and the 2025 documentary Bewitched: Behind the Magic.

During his appearance on Vicki Lawrence's talk show in 1992, David and Greg, per Remind Magazine, revealed that they'd been raised by adoptive parents, and claimed their biological parents to be actor Tony Curtis and model Peggy Potter, although Tony never acknowledged his paternity.

Very little is known about David's life now. Per his IMDb page, he is married to Tammy Danca-Mandel and they share two children. In an interview with HNGN, Erin Murphy, who played older Stephens sibling Tabitha on the show, shared some insight into her younger on-screen brother's life since.

She revealed of the Lawrence twins: "One works in post-production and the other is a chef," noting that not only kept in touch with them, but also many other child stars from the era.

"We have this group that is sort of every child actor," Erin shared. "We started with a party at my ranch and invited every kid actor from every T.V. show we knew from all the generations, so we're kind of all friends. It's like this little secret underground thing."

Of the show's main cast, Erin, now 62, is the only one still living. All of the show's adult stars have since passed away, although Erin still cherishes her memories of making the show, something she's also imparted to her six children.

When asked by HNGN whether her kids had watched Bewitched growing up, she confirmed they did, adding: "It's funny, because I don't specifically sit down and watch it myself. I had to remind myself 'oh gosh the kids haven't even seen this' and kind of tell them 'hey I was on this show' and introduce them to it, they love it."

"It's funny because their teachers always end up knowing who I was and are excited so the kids have to know what the show is."
