Audio of Dick York saying he was in love with Elizabeth Montgomery

[Monliz]

This is an interesting audio of Dick York talking in his memoir "The seesaw girl and me"



I'm sure if Elizabeth Montgomery was still alive when York's book/memoir was released, she would have hated to hear York talking in such a lecherous way about her publicly.

If you read the comments of this video you'll see a lot of people saying that York sounds creepy and now they understand why Liz hated him. I feel the same way as them.


After hearing York talking in a lecherous and creepy way about Liz, it's understandable why Liz wanted York fired and always stayed clear of him behind the scenes. Liz just did what any other woman would have done in her place.

He does sound creepy

The wording is that of a man who thinks he's being clever and or cute, but it comes off as gross and distasteful. If that is the man's actual personality, it's quite easy to see why EM would be put off by him.

Creepy is a good word. But he also sounds weak. Overall it's just sad.

This was from the original tapes Dick York recorded his thoughts on for his planned autobiography. A copy, most likely, that York let a certain author borrow when this person claimed they could help York get it published, but never did. Then this author tried to sell copies of the tapes to private collectors for $15,000 each behind York's back. I know this because this author offered to sell me a copy way before Claudia Kuehl (a true friend of the York's) was able to really publish York's book.

York initially wasn't sure he would even keep this part in, but Claudia released everything into the book as is. These were his memories of "falling in love" with Liz, and you can see the chemistry between them onscreen. Bill Asher admitted that he thought York was better as Darrin because "they (York and Elizabeth) were in love and they acted like it."

York mentions in the book that his feelings about falling in love with Liz were private and something he'd check with her on before he released a book (they were both alive at the time):

"This is the kind of sh*t that they use to sell books. This is the kind of private, inside stuff that they like to take quotes out of and splash on headlines and put on supermarkets, and use old pictures or...Oh, Lizzie, rather than have that happen, we may cut all this out. I may have to call you, Liz. I may have to call ya."

As demonstrated here York certainly called out "supermarket tabloid sensationalism." York's book is really quite sweet and touching. Falling in love with Elizabeth and his own wife (whom he never cheated on, BTW) is about a romanticized kind of love which is all through the book. Much of the book is a kind of stream of consciousness thing about life and love and feelings.

Incidentally, Bernie Kopell said "Everybody had a crush on Elizabeth Montgomery. Everybody had a crush on her. She was delicious. She was provocative." - the first sentence he says here:

Nice story, but you're just rambling. Your arguments to defend York are pretty weak man.


If York didn't want this part to be in his memoir, why did he talk about it while recording himself to do the memoir? what you say makes no sense.


Anyways even if it's true that York didn't want this part to be in his memoir, (which I don't believe at all) it doesn't matter, the important thing is what he said, and what he said about Liz makes him look like a creep and a perv.


York talked in a lecherous way about Liz, and as you can see in the comments the majority of the people who watched this video said the same things as KatieAnn, everybody agrees that York sounds creepy, everybody agrees that York talks about Liz like she was a sexual object, everybody agrees York is disgusting in this video, and you can't change the opinion of the people who watched this video with your ridiculous fake stories.


Your can throw all the tantrums you want, but your tantrums won't change people's opinions on York, sorry dude

[Monliz]

Another thing tcr1701, William Asher said that Samantha and Darrin were in love, and Liz and York acted like it, he didn't say they were in love in real life, so you're a blatant liar.


Bernie Kopell said everybody had a crush on Liz, but he didn't talk about her like she was a sexual object, which is what York did, that's the difference, it's ridiculous that you're trying to put York's lecherous words about Liz in the same level as Bernie Kopell's words, so you're just embarrassing yourself at this point.


Anyways you need to understand that it's no coincidence that the majority of the people who watched this video said that York is creepy and a perv.


As much as it hurts you to see people saying that they now understand why Liz hated York and wanted him fired, you have to deal with it like a man, instead of making up fake stories and week arguments to try to defend what can't be defended.

I totally agree with you, it's obvious why Liz hated this perv and wanted him to get fired, any other woman would have done the same thing.

[rusty spike]

He sound delirious and not of sound mind.

[Bill45]

He certainly comes off as creepy, it's interesting because this clip gives validity to what the producer William Froug said, he said York was madly in love with Elizabeth Montogmery, and he was 100% right, this clip proves it.

Frough also said Elizabeth couldn't stand him and wanted him out of the show, seeing how creepy York sounds while talking about her, would be logical that she was bothered by him and wanted him gone.

[Harlock]

He sounds creepy, but I still believe Elizabeth Montgomery felt threatened by York because York and Liz were equally the stars of the show, and she wanted to be the only star of the show, she didn't like to be eclipsed by York in a lot of episodes.

I agree with you, it all makes sense now. York was infatuated by Liz, he made her feel uncomfortable, Liz got tired of his inappropriate behavior and asked the producers to fire him.


The lecherous way York talks about Liz, proves how creepy he was to her, he sounds like a guy who would make Liz feel uncomfortable on the set.


This video is the proof that Frough was right, York acted like a cretin towards Liz, she couldn't stand him and wanted him fired. And that's why Liz never talked with York again after Bewitched ended, while she kept in touch with Sargent.


That's why Liz always praised the cast of Bewitched, especially Sargent, but she never mentioned York. It all makes sense, now we know the story thanks to Frough and thanks to York himself.

He could have taled about how a nice person she was, and how he enjoyed working with her, but what he did is reducer her as a sexual meat. I lost the respect I had for Dick York, you can't talk like that about a married woman in public, this is disrespectful to Elizabeth Montgomery and her husband.

If Dick York had no problem talking about Elizabeth Montgomery as a sexual object in public, imagine the things he could have done in private. I fell sorry for Elizabeth Montgomery, must've been very hard to deal with a perv like him.

Do you ever contribute anything to this board besides anti-York posts? It doesn't look like it.
