Malvina (Arlene Martel; 1936 - 2014) is an evil witch from the 1971 episode "How Not To Lose Your Head to King Henry VIII" for the TV series "Bewitched".
While touring the Tower of London with a tourist group, Samantha Stephens (Elizabeth Montgomery) sees a painting of Sir Herbert Wellingford (Victor Rogers) in which the he is waving at her. After the touring group went downstairs, she learned that Sir Wellingford had been placed there by a mean and jealous witch named Malvina, who found out that he had once been in love with her, but she had become angry with him since he proposed to another witch. Therefore, Malvina cursed him by zapping him into the painting, and said that the spell would last for 1,000 years unless it was broken.
Samantha zapped him out of the picture, and Malvina appeared and demanded the reason why he was taken out of the picture. Samantha apologized and put Sir Wellingford back in the picture. However, Malvina refused to accept Samantha's apology and forgive her for her mistake. Instead, she decided to punish Samantha by zapping her back in time to King Henry VIII's court in the 16th Century.
After Endora (Agnes Moorehead) restores Samantha's memory and returns with her and Darrin to the present, she takes Sir Herbert Wellingford out of the picture again and the two of them go off together. The storyline doesn't say whether or not Malvina found out, but she was never seen again.
