Dick York Quotes:

Bertram T. Cates: [to Rachel] It's your father's church or our house, you can't live in both.


Rachel Brown: [addressing the court about the Stebbeins boy] He went swimming in the river with the other boys, he got a cramp and drowned. At the funeral, my father said that Tommy's soul couldn't pass on to Heaven.
Bertram T. Cates: Tell them what your father really said, that Tommy's soul was damned and burning in hellfire! Religion is supposed to comfort people, not scare them to death!

Dick York Facts
York first injured his back while working on the 1959 film They Came to Cordura (1959).

He and his family moved to Rockford, Michigan in the 1980s to care for his wife's ailing mother. When she died they stayed on in her house.

The "Bewitched" (1964) TV comedy series was originally a vehicle for Broadway star Tammy Grimes as the lovely witch Samantha. She had recently scored in the Broadway musical comedy "High Spirits," based on the Noel Coward play "Blithe Spirit," in which she played the deceased Elvira who comes back to haunt her former husband. Dick Sargent was chosen to play her mortal mate Darrin Stephens. When Grimes passed on the series, Elizabeth Montgomery was cast in the role. By that time, Sargent had other acting commitments and was forced to bow out of the pilot. York came into the picture after Richard Crenna of "The Real McCoys" fame turned the role down. Of course, Sargent wound up replacing York as Darrin in 1969 after York suffered a seizure on the set and was rushed to the hospital. He never returned to the show and the "second Darrin Stephens" never explained.
