News about Dick Sargent

Bewitched child star Erin Murphy has finally revealed her favorite Darrin, the role of the mortal father/husband famously played by two different actors on the beloved sitcom. Murphy, who charmed audiences as Tabitha, the magical daughter of witch Samantha (Elizabeth Montgomery) and Darrin Stephens, is now 60 and one of the last surviving original cast members of Bewitched, along with her twin sister Diane, with whom she shared the role. Over the years, fans have debated which Darrin - originally portrayed by Dick York and later by Dick Sargent - was the better fit for the role, and now Murphy is settling the debate.

At Sony Pictures Television, Bewitched's animated version of the classic sitcom Bewitched is in production. The project's details were announced by The Hollywood Reporter, and it was also announced that the new version of the program would be targeted at children. The film, which has since been turned into a film, has also been described by Sony Pictures Television-Kids Executive Vice President and general manager Joe D'Ambrosia as 'Hannah Montana meets Harry Potter.'

Earlier this month, one of the late '60s' most recognisable child stars made a surprise appearance at a pre-Oscars cabaret showcase in Hollywood. Erin Murphy, the young Tabitha Stephens of Bewitched, joined musician and TV host Nelson Aspen on stage for his show 'Welcome Home' at the Gardenia club in Los Angeles on March 9. The 58-year-old actress was invited to an impromptu Q&A with Aspen and Emmy Award-winning actress Carolyn Hennesy, who is best known for her long-serving role as Diane Miller in the soap opera GM. She performed a duet with Aspen of Bewitched's legendary theme song, written by Jack Keller and Howard Greenfield, on stage. Today Murphy, who is best known for her role as the magical daughter of a witch (Elizabeth Montgomery) and her mortal husband (Dick York, later replaced by Dick Sargent) in the ABC comedy, is one of only two living original actors from Bewitched, with the other being her twin sister Diane, who played Tabitha.
