| There are a lot of advantages to having a famous parent, but there are disadvantages, too, particularly when you want to follow in that parent's footsteps career-wise. It will be a long time before Frank Sinatra, Jr., is judged on his own merits and not compared with his father. Or Liza Minelli with her mother, Judy Garland. But Elizabeth Montgomery, the entrancing Samantha of ABC-TV's hit, "Bewitched," luckily has no such problem. Her sex saved her. Not even the most critical audience could compare such an all-girl girl with the man who is her father, Robert Montgomery...Elizabeth didn't always feel so fortunate at being born a girl. She was a tomboy type when she was growing up, and one of her greatest disappointments was being refused permission to play polo. But once she discovered the difference between boys and girls, and pretty clothes and other feminine perquisites, she began loving every minute of being a girl. The only thing better, she thinks now, is being a wife (to director William Asher) and mother (to little Billy, with a second Asher on the way). It may have been some frustrated second-generation actor who dreamed up the adage that "comparisons are odious," but Liz Montgomery has one of her own. In her case "comparisons are impossible." | ||||||||
