Born: December 13th 1925. West Plains, Missouri, USA. Aged 99.
Mr. Van Dyke is an artist who has impeccable timing as a comedian. He is also a song and dance man who could entertain us for hours on end, and you never get bored. He has a certain personality that creates chemistry and makes a rapport that draws you in. Even in his most recent performance in the Music Video, Coldplay, All My Love, Mr. Van Dyke still has that passion and twinkle in his eye. To Span 70 plus years in the entertainment industry is no easy feat, which makes him at the age of 99 years a remarkable artist and a true legend.
The following quote by Mr. Van Dyke demonstrates his artistry and mindset.
“I have still endeavored to touch people’s souls, to raise their spirits and put smiles on their faces.”
Having previously worked with husband and wife duo Marc Breaux and Dee Dee Wood on a number for the Jack Benny Show, Mr. Van Dyke had recommended the choreographers for Mary Poppins.
In an interview with Dee Dee Wood, she talks about meeting Mr. Van Dyke and working on the Jack Benny Show.
“I met him when I was asked to teach this then-unknown comic actor a few steps for an upcoming appearance on The Jack Benny Program. He told me he couldn’t dance because he never had a lesson, but he was such a natural.”
On gaining the role of Bert in the film Mary Poppins, Mr. Van Dyke said,
“I’m not really a dancer. I could move a little, and I was what you call an eccentric dancer — loose-limbed and light on my feet. But they took what I could do and made the most of it. I was just thrilled.”
Mr. Van Dyke sums up life and his artistry.
“I am a child in search of his inner adult, though the truth is that I’m not searching too hard. I don’t recommend anyone doing so. That is the secret, the one people always ask me about when they see me singing and dancing, whistling my way through the grocery store or doing a soft shoe in the checkout line. They say, “Pardon me, Mr. Van Dyke, but you seem so happy. What’s your secret?” What they really want to know is how I have managed to grow old, even very old, without growing up, and the answer is this: I haven’t grown up. I play. I dance with my inner child. Every day.”
