Elizabeth Montgomery was one of the most popular actors from the 1950s to her unfortunate passing from cancer in 1995.

When Caitlin Clark found out she won Eastern Conference Player of the Month, she wished that someone else had won it: her teammate, Kelsey Mitchell. “I felt like [Kelsey] probably should have gotten a little bit of love,” Clark said before Wednesday’s Fever win over the Sparks. “I honestly thought she deserved to be Player of the Month. Just what she was doing, and at the clip she was doing it this month — I think she was like 50/40/90 this month, which is really, really hard to do. So I feel very fortunate to play with her. Honestly, I’m not even trying to be corny. I really think she deserved it.”
