‘Bewitched’: What Really Went On Behind The Scenes

Dick York Had Career Ending Seizure on Set

Now, back to that final day Dick York spent on the set of Bewitched. He had a seizure that sent him to the hospital and never to return as Darrin again. That injury we spoke of on They Came to Cordura tore muscles on the right side of his back and triggered a downward spiral. When he was in recovery he became addicted to painkillers. Though he broke this addiction, his body never fully recovered. Sadly, actor Dick York passed due to complications from emphysema when he was 63 years old in 1992. Bewitched gave his role to Dick Sargent, who was in fact originally offered the part.
