Stars From Hollywood’s Golden Era Who Are Surprisingly Still Alive And Kicking – Find Out What They’re Up To Now
Dick Van Dyke – 1925
Dick Van Dyke – the man’s life has been as poetic as his name. Julie Andrews might have won the Oscar for Mary Poppins (1964), but Van Dyke wasn’t far behind. His believable portrayal of Mary’s best friend complimented her role in the first place. In that era, musical films were all the rage, and Van Dyke, being the protagonist in many of those, was always at the center of attention. He might have mocked British accent time and again, but the UK folks were not one to complain, joining in the laughter at every performance. His life as an old man was fraught with quite a few perils unforeseen. Did you know that he could have died about five years ago had he not been rescued out of a car accident? A few bruises in place of a gruesome death is definitely a fair trade.
