Even if the "gossip rag" is true and the Ashers didn't realize the extent of the pain he was in, William Asher did fight to keep him on the show despite his health problems (and if William Froug is correct, Elizabeth's objections). He knew how good he was for the show, at least.

Also, it's nice that York finally got an Emmy nomination after this (the 1967-68 season). Maybe this article helped with that. I really think he should've gotten one especially in the second season- that was his best work, IMO, with "Divided He Falls," "The Joker is a Card," and more. I wonder if the (reported) cancelled publicity campaign was for the second season when they took all those pictures of Darrin and the baby doll, because I don't think those were used much.

Agnes Moorehead REALLY liked Dick York, both on a professional and personal level.
