DICK YORK

Tall, lanky Dick York, who stars with Elizabeth Montgomery and Agnes Moorehead in Screen Gems' comedy series "Bewitched", is unassuming, modest and sometimes even a bit shy.

A native of Fort Wayne, Indiana, Dick spent his childhood in Chicago. It was in Chicago that he started in radio while a youngster and performed as a regular in several radio series while he was growing up, including "Jack Armstrong - The All American Boy".

In 1950 Dick moved to New York and started acting on TV, appearing on many of the live dramatic shows of that era. When television began moving west, so did York, starting a commuting routine between New York and the West Coast that ended when he finally moved his family to Hollywood in 1961.

Dick first met his wife Joan when he was 15 and she was 12, and they were both acting in a Chicago radio show. He practically ignored her at the time, but years later they met again, courted, and in 1952, wed. The Yorks have three daughters and two sons.

In addition to his television work, Dick has also appeared in several Broadway plays, including "Tea and Sympathy", and "Bus Stop". His motion picture credits include "Inherit The Wind", "Cowboy", "They Came To Cordura" and "My Sister Eileen".
