 Terry Crews’ Wife Rebecca Reveals Parkinson’s Battle 11 Years After Diagnosis: ‘Seeing Improvement’ Terry Crews and his wife, Rebecca King-Crews, have opened up about a deeply personal health journey that the family has been quietly navigating for more than a decade. During Monday’s episode of the Today show, Rebecca, 60, revealed that she has been living with Parkinson’s since receiving her diagnosis in 2015, though the first warning signs appeared years earlier. Looking back, she said it all began around 2012 with a slight numbness in her left foot. Not long after, her trainer noticed something unusual in the way she walked, particularly that one of her arms was no longer swinging naturally. Then came the moment that truly raised alarm. Rebecca recalled waking up one morning to find her hand shaking, a tremor that made it clear something more serious might be happening.

Comedy legend Dick Van Dyke celebrates 100th birthday

Comedy legend Dick Van Dyke celebrated his 100th birthday on Saturday, marking a century of life more than six decades after his iconic performances alongside Julie Andrews in Mary Poppins and his starring role in The Dick Van Dyke Show.

“I want to live more, which I plan to,” Van Dyke said from his Malibu, California home, reflecting on reaching the milestone. To honor his birthday, theaters across the country are screening a new documentary, Dick Van Dyke: 100th Celebration, highlighting his life and career.

Van Dyke rose to fame with The Dick Van Dyke Show (1961–1966), charmed audiences as a chimney sweep in the 1964 Disney classic Mary Poppins, and later starred as a physician-sleuth on Diagnosis: Murder. His stage work earned him a Tony Award for Bye Bye Birdie, complementing his Grammy and four Primetime Emmys, and he appeared in the 1963 film adaptation of Bye Bye Birdie. Just last year, he became the oldest recipient of a Daytime Emmy for a guest role on Days of Our Lives.

In the 1970s, Van Dyke overcame alcoholism, speaking openly about his struggles at a time when it was uncommon. Reflecting on his portrayal of older characters, he noted, “I played old men a lot, and I always played them as angry and cantankerous. It’s not really that way.”

Van Dyke recently shared advice on longevity in his book, 100 Rules for Living to 100: An Optimist’s Guide to a Happy Life, crediting his 54-year-old wife, makeup artist and producer Arlene Silver, for keeping him energized and spirited. “She gives me energy. She gives me humor and all kinds of support,” he said.

Born in 1925 in West Plains, Missouri, and raised in Danville, Illinois, Van Dyke was a self-described “class clown” who admired silent film comedians. His acting career began around age 4 or 5, performing as the baby Jesus in a Christmas pageant. “I made some kind of crack… it broke the congregation up. And I liked the sound of that laughter,” he recalled.

At 100, Van Dyke admitted some physical limitations. “I miss movement… I’ve got one game leg from I don’t know what,” he said, adding with a laugh, “I still try to dance.”
