Dick Van Dyke was born a century ago in 1925. He’s lived a life that’s impossible to imagine, working as a radio announcer for the US military during World War II and with a career in entertainment stretching back to the 1940s. At the grand old age of 99, he’s remarkably spry and active, regularly making public appearances to the delight of his fans.
But, given that he is 99, even the mildest health scare has the world extremely nervous. Van Dyke’s “Vandy Camp” fan gathering took place over the weekend in Malibu, designed to celebrate his life’s work and allow fans to pay tribute to him in person.
