Sabrina the Teenage Witch star Beth Broderick sent fans into a frenzy following her appearance on the Hyperfixated podcast, with commenters exclaiming over her youthful good looks.
The 67-year-old, who starred as Zelda Spellman on the hit ’90s and ’00s show, looked younger than ever as she sat down for the interview, with one fan writing: “She still looks fabulous,” while another added: “Damn. She looks fantastic,” and a third chimed in: “She looks amazing for her age.”
Aging in the spotlight
Beth has been open about struggling with her appearance in her 60s, and revealed that she has had some work done to keep up with Hollywood demands.
“I work out and try to take care of myself, and I have been pretty consistent regarding a diet/fitness regimen. Sometimes people ask me what the secret is. Why are so many people in my business in good shape?” she wrote in a Substack piece.

“That said, it is also important to enjoy getting older,” Beth encouraged. “Aging is a privilege not afforded to everyone. A little gratitude is in order.”
The actress added that she wanted to avoid cosmetic procedures for the time being as she came to terms with aging.
“I am going to hold off on the whole redo for now. I look okay for an older gal, and I feel great. I am going to ride that for at least another year. For the foreseeable future, I am going to enjoy being ‘old’ old me,” she said.
Lightning in a bottle

She and Caroline reprised their role as Sabrina’s witchy aunts in Chilling Adventures of Sabrina in 2020, and the original cast reunited for the show’s 30th anniversary in June.
“When we were doing the show, we knew that we were onto something,” Beth told People. “We knew that we were going to be a hit. You could just feel it. But nobody expects to be valid and a hit for 30 years. Of course, we’re still on pretty much every day in every country in the world.”

Her co-star, Melissa, echoed Beth’s sentiments, explaining just how meaningful the show still 23 years after wrapping. “It’s still so loved. It’s so international,” she said.
“So many people come to me and say it got them through a hard time, or they learned English from the show. All these amazing things that you hear that, over time, you hear it so much that you have to start to believe that it meant a lot to people. So that’s huge.”
