DICK VAN DYKE – 96 YEARS OLD
A few decades ago, Dick Van Dyke was a household name after being part of hit shows such as Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. He also played popular roles in shows presented in the Broadway that helped him reach his superstar status. Throughout his career, he accumulated five Emmys, one Grammy, and one Tony. Not to mention his 1995 induction to the Television Hall of Fame and the Dick Van Dyke’s Life Achievement Award given by the Screen Actors Guild.
We have to give this man credit for his seven-decade career and the endless lists of achievements under his belt. Recently, he was seen in the film Mary Poppins Returns. Van Dyke is 95 years old now, but he doesn’t look anywhere near that age, at least not in his attitude. Surprisingly, he had been smoking for most of his life, and only in 2000 did he seriously consider quitting.
