Dick York

Dick York is, to me, the emblem of an actor smiling through pain. As the first Darrin on Bewitched, he became a household face around the world, the bewildered husband beside that famous nose-twitch. Yet behind it sat a serious back injury from a film shoot that he fought through for years. I admire the quiet courage in that. His earnest schoolteacher in Inherit the Wind shows the sincerity underneath the comedy. Born in Fort Wayne, Indiana, he died in 1992, but every time I watch that flustered, lovable performance, I sense the strength of a man hiding his own suffering to make others laugh.
