What’s the saddest celebrity moment ever caught on camera?

If others answer this as well , I’m sure they’ll have several, very sad moments to talk about as well .

For me , there’s several too , but one of the first that ever did bring me to tears… was one night on Entertainment Tonight in 1991 / 1992.

Believe it or not 😔 this is one of the last images of actor Dick York , known to millions & generations as “Darrin Stephens” of the ABC 1964 — 1972 sitcom , “Bewitched”. (Of which he was in only 5 seasons.

On this particular Entertainment Tonight, I found out what many may have already known, what had happened to Dick York.

I’d watched the reruns for years but I had no clue.

He was just days from departing us. He had emphysema , he really couldn’t move well and he was on assisted living.

Most of us know about the horrible back injury that plauged him after an accident on the movie set of “They Came To Cordura”.

We also know that his last day on the Bewitched set, ended in him being taken away by ambulance , never to return .

He talked about these and his life after “Bewitched”.

His health just simply worsened as time went on. Decades of smoking caught up with him as well.

I know the saddest moment in that interview came when he looked out at us through the Entertainment Tonight camera (and I forget the exact words) …

He essentially thanked us for having allowed him to be part of our lives .

He was only 63.

September 4th , 1928 to February 20th, 1992. Rest In Peace, Richard Allen York
