My Take
Michael York is one of those actors who made the 1970s feel genuinely glamorous — Oxford-educated, classically trained with the National Theatre, and then boom, he's Tybalt in Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet and the world takes notice. What I love about him is the range he never got enough credit for: he could do swashbuckling adventure in The Three Musketeers, existential dread in Logan's Run, and Cabaret's bohemian Berlin all in the same decade. And then there's his audiobook narration career, which earned him an Audie Award — that voice was doing serious work long after the film marquees stopped calling. OBE, Hollywood Walk of Fame star — the man accumulated honors as quietly as he accumulated craft. A proper British thoroughbred who made Hollywood look like it had taste.
