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.”
