Biography

York, a tall and lanky individual, is most notably remembered for his portrayal of the first and most exasperated "Darrin Stephens" on the enduring television series Bewitched, which premiered in 1964. Unfortunately, his tenure on the show came to an end in 1969 due to a persistent and debilitating back condition that greatly impacted his quality of life.

In his later years, York dedicated himself to founding Acting for Life, a private fundraising initiative aimed at supporting the homeless, which he managed from the comfort of his own home. Despite being confined to his bed due to a degenerative spine injury that had taken a significant toll on his physical health, York remained committed to his philanthropic endeavors, inspiring others with his unwavering dedication to a noble cause.

York's remarkable story serves as a testament to his unshakeable spirit, resilience, and enduring legacy, which continues to captivate audiences to this day.
