DICK VAN DYKE

Award-winning Dick Van Dyke has been creating his legacy in the entertainment industry for seven decades. Prior to his breakthrough in the world of films, the actor started as a radio disc jockey in the 40s. From there, he went on to explore television and appeared in shows such as The Pat Boone Chevy Showroom, The Phil Silvers Show, and The Dick Van Dyke Show. His performance on the series earned him not just one but three Emmy Awards.

However, the veteran actor’s undeniable prowess and electricity in his projects led him to get more big-screen roles. He starred in several films, including 1964’s Mary Poppins, 1968’s Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, 1969’s The Comic, 2006’s Night at the Museum, and its 2009 sequel. The now ninety-five-year-old Van Dyke received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1993 for his contributions to television.
