Happy birthday, Dick Van Dyke!

The venerable Dick Van Dyke turns 100 years old today!

Love him or hate him, you have to admit the guy had talent as a singer, dancer, and comedian. Here's a dance scene from "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang":

Or how about this hilarious clip from "The Carol Burnett Show":

Happy birthday, Mr. Van Dyke.

  1. I saw Mary Poppins on TV recently and thought one of the main characters was him, although his face looked more coarse than normal. So I googled, and yes, it was him! His dance abilities and physique gave it away.
    He has always impressed me on screen. And he's the poster boy for good health and long life.

  2. (Julie Andrews is the stepmother of one of my friends. She's having a lot of dementia issues) Anyway, for me, it's always the Dick Van Dyke Show which I have loved since I was a kid.

  3. I got to see Mary Poppins Returns in January 2020. (It was a treat to go to the movie theater w/ my sister & daughters). My favorite scene is w/ Dick Van Dyke. I didn't know he was going to make an appearance. If you can see that scene well worth watching.
