Dick York was the best Darrin Stevens. Hard to watch after he was replaced. His comedy, his facial features were unmatchable.

Dick York's ending was not as sad as people think. He did spend his last years in poverty, but had a loving wife and circle of friends. Despite his debilitating emphysema, he spent his last years coordinating the delivery of food that was near expiration date from grocery stores to places that served food to the needy. He was a loving and caring person who, despite his poor health and poverty, still managed to serve the less fortunate.

The show wasn’t the same without him! RIP Mr. York always a fan! 🌟🙏🏼❤️

Dick York was definitely the best Darrin. Such a shame what happened with his back 😞 😢 I love how he tried to help others so much. Especially at the end of his life. ❤

I preferred Dick York as Darren Stephens. I think most people would agree.

He was brilliant as Darren. The show suffered without him. So sad that he had to live with crippling pain. We miss you here on planet earth Dick.🩷🩷🩷

I agree with everyone. Dick York for ever. Dick Sergeant was a good actor too, but York was iconic.

R.I.P. dear Dick, by far the best Derwood, um, Darwin, eh, Darren, BEWITCHED ever had!♥️😘

Dick York was the best Darren in Bewitched. Great facial expressions !!!!

Born in the 60's, I watched Bewitched when I was just a young kid. It was one of my favorite shows to watch back then. My favorite actor in the show was always Elizabeth, she was amazing, but Dick York was a close second. He had the best facial impressions ever! I really enjoyed watching the episodes with York. R.I.P. Dick York, one of the greats!!

My favorite actor who played Darren Stevens was Dick York. ❤

Here in my city Adelaide South Australia a local radio station would ring Dick every year to hear how he was going although he was suffering he was always upbeat RIP Dick your not forgotten 😢

As a 70s kid i truly enjoyed bewitched after school along with Mr ED , the goodies , Dr Who etc etc . Dick york was my favourite Darren .

I’m pretty sure that everyone who met Elizabeth Montgomery fell in love with her.

We here in Australia would describe Elizabeth Montgomery as Drop Dead Gorgeous

What a fantastic show. As a little girl I used to try and twitch my nose in the mirror and do magic. Dick York was irreplaceable. You could tell he was a sweet soul just by that dear sweet face.😊

Dick York, a good actor and it is such a shame about that tragic accident, he brought so much joy to so many. How his days ended was so sad.

There was a very genuine acting chemistry between Dick York and EM. They were so convincing as a loving newlywed couple He had a lot of chemistry with the other actors The cast was great

Dick York was the best Darrin Steven in Bewitched show during 1960’s Miss him. He and Elizabeth Montgomery has the best chemistry in the show ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Dick York was my fave. There was a gentleness and innocense in his eyes and his comedy timing and expressions were just perfect!

Dick York was my favorite. Spot on with his performances each episode. So believable.❤❤❤ RIP

York was by far the best!!

No need to fret hierarchy issues, the man you just told me about sounds like a real trooper and a fine man. Not cut out to be a landlord, maybe, but clearly a fully qualified human being. In these horrendous times, he blesses my soul. Thank you so much for a courteous, clear, portrait of a nice person.

Dick York was the best. He had the best gyrations and facial expressions. Nothing against Mr. Sargent, I've seen him in many things too, but no one could beat Mr. York as Darrin. He was great.

He was an excellent actor. I have watched bewitched reruns over and over because the acting was so good.

Dick york was an amazing actor. He was also a very kind person who liked to help others in need even when his own health was failing. ❤❤❤😢

No surprise he loved Elizabeth, she was a very beautiful person.

Dick York was the best Darren , thankyou for the video . From Australia 🦘

Dick York was my favourite Darren. I loved his goofy facial expressions.

Sooo sad😢. I did hear about why he left the show, but only a few years ago. I wondered why he left and took me time to get used to a new Darren. I loved the show. Thanks for doing this video and telling about his life and career.

Dick York was the real Darren Steven in my eyes. I had a little crush on him as 5 year old girl. I did not understand when they changed actors. Before that time, I thought the Steven's were a real family. The change, ironically broke the magic that was present in the relationship between Darren and Samantha. Rest in Peace Dick York

Dick York was by far the BEST Darrin!! So sad on his life in later years! Bless his heart❤ May he rest in peace and gets to see Elizabeth Montgomery 😢

Yowza! Loved him on Bewitched! And I remember him being on the Twilight Zone. Thank you for sharing this story I always wondered what happened to him.

Dick York was my absolute favourite Darren. Handsome, with great comic timing and obviously, from this interesting and well researched piece, also with a big heart. I am so sorry his last years were blighted by illness and financial difficulty.

Dick York was the best and we use to watch Bewitched all the time.

I've been asked this so many times I can't even count? But for me it will always be York, "sorry Dick Sargent!"

Dick York was my favorite and still is

Dick York could never be replaced in Bewitched..

Dick york was a great talent so sad how his life ended he was so kind ty for sharing gone way too soon🙏🏻🌺❤️

You can’t blame him for loving Elizabeth. Dick York was a good human and an inspiration! I liked him best.

How could you not fall in love with Elizabeth Montgomery. She's absolutely beautiful.😍

I pray he rests in peace. Watching him on Bewitched brought a lot of joy to my childhood.

Loved Dick York and the many characters he portrayed during his career. Was the best Darren in Bewitched

Sad ending for a nice guy. Thanks Steve.

Dick York was my favourite , so sad to hear about his tragic life, he always had such a lovely smile and happy face 😪💖

Dick York played in a good many TV shows, and was good on every show I seen him in, he always stood out.

Dick York was the best on BEWITCHED! Rest in Peace Mr. York. 🙏♥️🙏

Dick York without question he was the man a legend ❤️💕🙏

Dick York was Darren & always will be. Rest Peacefully, Sir❤

RIP He was my favourite Darrin definitely

Hi Steve! My favorite was Dick York. So sad that he lost most of his resources of income. 🙏 RIP DICK YORK 🙏

It’s such a tragedy that York couldn’t finish the series. He was superb, excellent at comedy. Likable and funny.

He was a great actor ❤

Dick York was my favorite Darrin, he fit the role so well.

Dick York was the best by far. He was so funny.😄

Indeed, very sad. He was such a nice person it seems.

Dick York was, by far , the best Darren Steven's. I love to watch him in everything he played in.

Thanks for sharing his story!

Dick York, hands down. Well that was very good, but depressing...a very sad ending indeed.😔

Dick York of course, no contest. From what you said about his life and career he was very talented and kind. RIP❤

I loved Bewitched! Dick York and Elizabeth Montgomery! Yes

Dick York. He was so lovable ❤️

Dick York was my favorite. I love this show. I felt so bad when they changed Darrin. It wasn't the same, but the show was still good. I felt bad when they stopped this show. It was lighthearted, romantic, and funny. I have the series on DVD.

One of my favorite retro sit-coms! So cleverly written and acted …. York was my fav Darrin/Dustin/Derwood - Sargeant gave a valiant effort but he was a little stiff for the role …. So sad to lose EM at such a young age … but she’ll forever be Samantha Stevens in everyone’s hearts 💞 💫 🧹

Definitely Dick York!

Yes, Dirk York was my favorite 😊

Dick York was my favorite Darin. ✌🏼❤🌱

❤ i loved their connection, he was the best..🎉

I liked Dick York the best in Bewitched. He had fun facial expressions and reactions. I also liked the second Darrin because he kept the show going. It brought us a lot of joy. 😊

Dick York will always be the one and only Darren Stephens! I watched the original broadcasts!!!

My dad was a Master Sergeant in the NY National Guard. Dick York was in his unit and one day an officer needed a driver. My dad assigned York to this detail but York told him that he couldn't drive a standard shift. So very early on a Saturday morning at Camp Smith Dick York learned to drive a standard shift.

My family loved Dick York.❤

Love your channel. Dick York will always be my favorite. May Mr. York and Ms. Montgomery r.i.p 💔🙏🕊

Dick York was the best Darrin! Being a 70’s child watched it after school. ❤

Great show! I watch all your videos. You're a great story teller. Stay alive and keep up the good work. You're good company, Thanks! 😢

We were all in love with her

Dick York ultimately became debilitated from both his back issues and chronic emphysema. He lived in a trailer in Michigan and used all the connections he made while an actor in Hollywood to help raise money for the homeless. Mr. York grew up very poor and knew first hand what it was like to struggle to survive

Dick York was the best Darren Stevens.

Dick York ❤

Dick York was definitely my favourite Derwood - as his mother in law tended to call him!

❤😢 Dick York was the best Actor. I enjoy watching him. Condolences to his family and friends and fellow workers. Rest In Peace Dick York Family. Thanks Steve.

Dick York was and always will be the best and Original Darren Stevens, hands down!

just saw him on 2 different episodes of the Alfred Hitchcock hour.... i thought he stood out as an above average actor, best acting i have seen out of him.

Nice job Steve. I heard or read that years ago, that Dick York was in love with Elizabeth Montgomery. How could any red blooded American male NOT be? Anyway, nothing against Dick Sargent but ugh I hated his Darrin character on Bewitched. Anyway, RIP poor Dick York and his TV wife who died as young as him. 😢

I liked Dick York the most. Liz Montgomery was a HOTTIE.❤❤❤❤

Thank you for your wonderful video!!☺️

Omg, Dick York hands down! 🙌🏻

Dick York was my favorite one.

Awww this is sad. I liked Dick York the best as Darrin. Loved that show.

Dick York got Wonderfully-SAVED before his Death! He is Doing things Way- beyond 'W'O'R'D'S'' and Comprehension... He is OUTSTANDING Now!!!!!

Unlike.most of us who were in ❤ with Elizabeth Dick got to hang out with her on set Lucky Guy!

Dick York, played a great part as Darrin Stevens. My niece loves this show , she is only 10 yrs old, she enjoy Bewitched. I love this show.

Dick York, by far, was my favorite “Darrin”. It’s so sad that he had such a debilitating illness. He was a great actor, and, as you have reported, a very kind man.

He was a great guy and so likable. R.I.P

Dick York was my favorite. He sounded like a kind and generous man. It’s too bad he couldn’t kick his heavy smoking habit, which I’m pretty sure led to his premature death.

Excellent video. I love all the pictures you put on the video that match up to the time you’re talking about it. You research everything well.

Dick York was my favorite. He was the original Darren and will always be Darren. RIP

Cigarettes killed him, and his back injury in 1959 ruined his life

Dick York forever. Amazing talent, so funny and so kind.

I saw an interview with Elizabeth Montgomery here on YT a couple of years ago - obviously, it was done years ago. She was being interviewed on the phone (so you didn't see her) by someone, and she was asked, OBVIOUSLY, about Bewitched. She happily complied (why wouldn't she?) and amicably went on and on about all the people she worked with and all the characters - in great detail, including their actual names and their character's names on the show how much she loved working with them and even some little anecdotes about some of them, and she talked about the longevity of the show and how much it meant to her. She happily went into great detail. I was intrigued and looked forward to listening to it. Then, it got very strange. She went WAY, and I mean stunningly - WAY, WAY ... out of her way to mention Dick York ......... not even ONE time. The co star, the FIRST Darren, her (arguably) equal on the show for the earliest and by FAR most popular era of its existence. Not ONCE. She literally didn't mention his name, but she actually mentioned people who appeared on the show once or twice or three times in guest roles years down the line from the beginning of the series, but she literally didn't mention Dick York .... ONCE, but EVERYONE else. EVERYONE, in detail. I at that moment realized what a C#NT she must have been. REGARDLESS of what she personally thought about him from a human or professional standpoint or his physical disabilities due to a back injury which limited his versatility on the set a few years in, or even his "crush" he had on her (we ALL did) it speaks volumes about a person who could do that. What kind of disgusting person would totally keep him out of the recollection of the show of which he was a HUGE part of? I'd actually submit that he was more centralized as her at certain points of the show. I have a totally different opinion of Elizabeth Montgomery now and although I'd read certain things previous to that about her ego and narcissism, when I watched that video it changed my perception about that show forever - and it's all due to her. What a POS to do that, and this was AFTER his death. What a bitch.
