RIP Dick York

Dick York (1928-1992) will always be Darrin Stephens to me. York played Stephens on the tv show Bewitched from 1964 to 1969 when he left due to illness that started with a injury to his back while filming They Came to Cordura in 1959. York's portrayal of a frazzled husband was the perfect complement to Elizabeth Montgomery's cool and unflappable modern housewife in the form of a witch. I loved watching the series (ahem, in reruns of course).

Today marks the 23rd anniversary of York's death. In honor of his life, I hope you'll join me in watching the first episode of Bewitched.
