Kasey Rogers (December 15, 1925 - July 6, 2006) was an American actress, best known for playing the second "Louise Tate" on the popular U.S. television sitcom "Bewitched".

Career

Rogers was born Imogene Rogers in Morehouse, Missouri. She moved with her family to California at the age of two. As a child, her prowess at the game of baseball lead her friends to nickname her Casey (after the famous poem "Casey at the Bat"). Later, Rogers changed the "C" to a "K."

Rogers began work under the names Laura Elliott and Laura Elliot for Paramount Pictures. She appeared in movies such as "Special Agent", "Samson and Delilah", "Paid in Full", "Two Lost Worlds", and, in perhaps her best-known film role, Alfred Hitchcock's "Strangers on a Train", playing Miriam, the scheming, adulterous wife of Guy Haines (Farley Granger).

In the mid-1950s, Rogers began working in television. She guest starred on various series such as "Stage 7", "The Lone Ranger", "Panic", "Maverick", "Perry Mason" and many others.

In 1964, she landed a starring spot on "Peyton Place" as "Julie Anderson." She left the role in 1966 to replace Irene Vernon in the role of "Louise Tate" on the popular sitcom "Bewitched" in a same character, different actor situation.

Later career

In 1972, she made her final appearance in the role. Rogers then retired from acting, appearing in only a few guest television spots, and making appearances on the "Bewitched" edition of "E! True Hollywood Story". Twice-married and the mother of four (and a grandmother), Rogers had in recent years turned her talents to writing and development, including the proposed new TV series, "Son of a Witch".

Death

After battling throat cancer for many years, Rogers went into cardiac arrest. She then suffered a stroke, and passed away on July 6, 2006.

Rogers had been one of the last surviving adult cast members from "Bewitched". Currently, Bernard Fox (Dr. Bombay) is the sole surviving adult actor from the beloved series. In addition, child actors Diane and Erin Murphy (Tabitha) and David and Gregory Lawrence (Adam) survive as well.

Other achievements

In the 1970s, she became involved with motorcycles. After her son decided to buy one, she decided to buy one herself. This led to Rogers becoming involved in the world of motocross racing. She helped established PURR ("PowderPuffs Unlimited Riders and Racers"), an association that brought women into the male-dominated sport, in 1974. PURR would later evolve into what is now the Women's Pro-Class division.
