Trivia

  • On the May 29, 1955 episode of What's My Line, Stark and his teenage son, Morgan, were featured in a commercial for the Remington Shave. Dick instructed his son about shaving while Morgan demonstrated a smooth shave on himself. Dick mentioned that the Remington Shave can shave as closely as shaving a peach. Then Dick held up a brush that Morgan recognized had been shaved by the Remington Shave, so Dick explained that the shaver could handle the bristles, which were tougher than any beard. Dick noted that the shaver was an ideal gift for graduation. Morgan reminded viewers it was a great gift for the upcoming Sunday, June 19 Father's Day. Dick concluded by explaining the Remington offer of a 14-day free trial plan.
  • Was a Colonel in the U.S. Marines
  • Father of Morgan Stark.
