Early life
Van Dyke was born on December 13, 1925, in West Plains, Missouri,[4]
to Hazel Victoria (née McCord; 1896 – 1992), a stenographer, and
Loren Wayne "Cookie" Van Dyke (1898 – 1976), a salesman.[5][6][7] He
grew up in Danville, Illinois. He is the older brother of actor Jerry
Van Dyke (1931 – 2018), who is best known for a role on the TV
series Coach. Van Dyke has Dutch, English, Irish, and Scottish
ancestry,[8] with a family line that traces back to Mayflower
passenger John Alden.[9]
Among Van Dyke's high school classmates in Danville were Donald
O'Connor and Bobby Short, both of whom would go on to successful
careers as entertainers.[10] One of his closest friends was a cousin
of Gene Hackman, the future actor, who also lived in Danville in those
years.[10] Van Dyke's mother's family was very religious, and for a
brief period in his youth, he considered a career in ministry,
although a drama class in high school convinced him that his true
calling was as a professional entertainer.[10] In his autobiography,
he wrote, "I suppose that I never completely gave up my childhood idea
of being a minister. Only the medium and the message changed. I have
still endeavored to touch people's souls, to raise their spirits and
put smiles on their faces."[10] Even after the launch of his career as
an entertainer, he taught Sunday school in the Presbyterian Church,
where he was an elder, and he continued to read such theologians as
Buber, Tillich, and Bonhoeffer, who helped explain in practical terms
the relevance of religion in everyday life.[10]
Van Dyke left high school in 1944, his senior year, intending to join
the
United States Army Air Forces
United States Army Air Forces for pilot training during World War
II. Denied enlistment several times for being underweight, he was
eventually accepted for service as a radio announcer before
transferring to the
Special
Special Services and entertaining troops in the
continental United States.[11] He received his high school diploma in
2004 at the age of 78.[12]
Career
Radio and stage
Van Dyke in a 1959 publicity photo
During the late 1940s, Van Dyke was a radio DJ in Danville, Illinois.
In 1947, Van Dyke was persuaded by pantomime performer Phil
Erickson[13] to form a comedy duo with him called "Eric and Van—the
Merry Mutes."[14] The team toured the West Coast nightclub circuit,
performing a mime act and lip synching to old 78 records. They brought
their act to Atlanta, Georgia, in the early 1950s and performed a
local television show featuring original skits and music called "The
Merry Mutes".[15]
In November 1959, Van Dyke made his Broadway debut in The Girls
Against the Boys. He then played the lead role of Albert Peterson in
Bye Bye Birdie, which ran from April 14, 1960, to October 7, 1961. In
a May 2011 interview with Rachael Ray, Van Dyke said that when he
auditioned for a smaller part in the show he had no experience as a
dancer, and that after he sang his audition song he did an impromptu
soft-shoe out of sheer nervousness. Gower Champion, the show's
director and choreographer, was watching, and promptly went up on
stage to inform Van Dyke he had the lead. An astonished Van Dyke
protested that he could not dance, to which Champion replied "We'll
teach you". That musical won four Tony awards including Van Dyke's
Best Featured Actor Tony, in 1961.[16] In 1980, Van Dyke appeared as
the title role in the first Broadway revival of The Music Man.[17]
Television
Van Dyke's start in television was with
WDSU-TV
WDSU-TV
New Orleans
New Orleans Channel 6
(NBC), first as a single comedian and later as emcee of a comedy
program.[18][19][20] Van Dyke's first network TV appearance was with
Dennis James
Dennis James on James' Chance of a Lifetime in 1954. He later appeared
in two episodes of
The Phil Silvers Show
The Phil Silvers Show during its 1957–58 season.
He also appeared early in his career on ABC's The Pat Boone Chevy
Showroom and NBC's The Polly Bergen Show. During this time a friend
from the Army was working as an executive for
CBS
CBS television and
recommended Van Dyke to that network. Out of this came a seven-year
contract with the network.[21] During an interview on NPR's Wait
Wait... Don't Tell Me! program, Van Dyke said he was the anchorman for
the
CBS
CBS morning show during this period with
Walter Cronkite
Walter Cronkite as his
newsman.[22]
Mary Tyler Moore
Mary Tyler Moore and Van Dyke in The
Dick Van Dyke
Dick Van Dyke Show, 1964
From 1961 to 1966, Van Dyke starred in the
CBS
CBS sitcom The Dick Van
Dyke Show, in which he portrayed a comedy writer named Rob Petrie.
Originally the show was supposed to have
Carl Reiner
Carl Reiner as the lead but
CBS
CBS insisted on recasting and Reiner chose Van Dyke to replace him in
the role.[21] Complementing Van Dyke was a veteran cast of comic
actors including Rose Marie, Morey Amsterdam, Jerry Paris, Ann Morgan
Guilbert, Richard Deacon, and
Carl Reiner
Carl Reiner (as Alan Brady), as well as
23-year-old Mary Tyler Moore, who played Rob's wife Laura Petrie. Van
Dyke won three Emmy Awards as Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy
Series, and the series received four Emmy Awards as Outstanding Comedy
Series.[23]
From 1971 to 1974, Van Dyke starred in an unrelated sitcom called The
New
Dick Van Dyke
Dick Van Dyke Show in which he portrayed a local television talk
show host. Although the series was developed by
Carl Reiner
Carl Reiner and
starred
Hope Lange
Hope Lange as his wife, and he received a Golden Globe
nomination for his performance, the show was less successful than its
predecessor,[24] and Van Dyke pulled the plug on the show after just
three seasons.[25] In 1973, Van Dyke voiced his animated likeness for
the October 27, 1973 installment of Hanna-Barbera's The New Scooby-Doo
Movies, "Scooby-Doo Meets Dick Van Dyke," the series' final first-run
episode. The following year, he received an
Emmy Award
Emmy Award nomination for
his role as an alcoholic businessman in the television movie The
Morning After (1974). Van Dyke revealed after its release that he had
recently overcome a real-life drinking problem. He admits he was an
alcoholic for 25 years.[26] That same year he guest-starred as a
murderous photographer on an episode of Columbo, Negative Reaction.
Van Dyke returned to comedy in 1976 with the sketch comedy show Van
Dyke and Company, which co-starred Andy Kaufman[27] and Super Dave
Osborne. Despite being canceled after three months, the show won an
Emmy Award
Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy-Variety Series.[23] After a few
guest appearances on the long-running comedy-variety series The Carol
Burnett Show, Van Dyke became a regular on the show, in the fall of
1977. However, he only appeared in half of the episodes of the final
season. For the next decade he appeared mostly in TV movies. One
atypical role was as a murdering judge on the second episode of the TV
series Matlock in 1986 starring Andy Griffith. In 1987, he
guest-starred in an episode of Airwolf, with his son Barry Van Dyke,
who was the lead star of the show's fourth and final season on USA
Network. In 1989, he guest-starred on the NBC comedy series The Golden
Girls portraying a lover of Beatrice Arthur's character. This role
earned him his first
Emmy Award
Emmy Award nomination since 1977.[28]
Carol Burnett

His film work affected his TV career: the reviews he received for his
role as D.A. Fletcher in Dick Tracy led him to star as the character
Dr. Mark Sloan first in an episode of Jake and the Fatman, then in a
series of TV movies on
CBS
CBS that became the foundation for his popular
television drama Diagnosis: Murder. The series ran from 1993 to 2001
with son
Barry Van Dyke
Barry Van Dyke co-starring in the role of Dr. Sloan's son
Lieutenant Detective Steve Sloan. Also starring on the same show was
daytime soap actress
Victoria Rowell
Victoria Rowell as Dr. Sloan's
pathologist/medical partner, Dr. Amanda Bentley, and Charlie Schlatter
in the role of Dr. Sloan's student, Dr. Jesse Travis.[29] Van Dyke
continued to find television work after the show ended, including a
dramatically and critically successful performance of The Gin Game,
produced for television in 2003 that reunited him with Mary Tyler
Moore. In 2003, he portrayed a doctor on Scrubs. A 2004 special of The
Dick Van Dyke
Dick Van Dyke Show titled
The Dick Van Dyke Show
The Dick Van Dyke Show Revisited was heavily
promoted as the first new episode of the classic series to be shown in
38 years. Van Dyke and his surviving cast members recreated their
roles; the program was roundly panned by critics. In 2006 he
guest-starred as college professor Dr. Jonathan Maxwell for a series
of Murder 101 mystery films on the Hallmark Channel.
Film
Van Dyke began his film career by playing the role of Albert J.
Peterson in the film version of Bye Bye Birdie (1963). Despite his
unhappiness with the adaptation—its focus differed from the stage
version in that the story now centered on a previously supporting
character[30]—the film was a success. That same year, Van Dyke was
cast in two roles: as the chimney sweep Bert, and as bank chairman Mr.
Dawes Senior, in
Walt
Walt Disney's Mary Poppins (1964). For his scenes as
the chairman, he was heavily costumed to look much older and was
credited in that role as "Nackvid Keyd" (at the end of the credits,
the letters unscramble into "Dick Van Dyke"). Van Dyke's attempt at a
cockney accent has been lambasted as one of the worst accents in film
history, cited by actors since as an example of how not to sound. In a
2003 poll by Empire magazine of the worst-ever accents in film, he
came in second (
Sean Connery
Sean Connery in The Untouchables came in first despite
Connery winning an
Academy Award
Academy Award for that performance).[31][32]
According to Van Dyke, his accent coach was Irish, who "didn't do an
accent any better than I did", and that no one alerted him how bad it
was during the production.[33][34][35] Still, Mary Poppins was
successful on release and its appeal has endured. "Chim Chim Cher-ee",
one of the songs that Van Dyke performed in Mary Poppins, won the
Academy Award
Academy Award for Best Original Song for the Sherman Brothers, the
film's songwriting duo.

Many of the comedy films Van Dyke starred in throughout the 1960s were
relatively unsuccessful at the box office, including What a Way to Go!
with Shirley MacLaine, Lt. Robin Crusoe, U.S.N., Fitzwilly, The Art of
Love with
James Garner
James Garner and Elke Sommer, Some Kind of a Nut, Never a
Dull Moment with Edward G. Robinson, and
Divorce American Style
Divorce American Style with
Debbie Reynolds
Debbie Reynolds and Jean Simmons. But he also starred as Caractacus
Pott (with his native accent, at his own insistence, despite the
English setting) in the successful musical version of Ian Fleming's
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968), which co-starred
Sally Ann Howes
Sally Ann Howes and
featured the same songwriters (The Sherman Brothers) and
choreographers (
Marc Breaux and Dee Dee Wood) as Mary Poppins.
In 1969, Van Dyke appeared in the comedy-drama The Comic, written and
directed by Carl Reiner. Van Dyke portrayed a self-destructive silent
film era comedian who struggles with alcoholism, depression, and his
own rampant ego. Reiner wrote the film especially for Van Dyke, who
often spoke of his admiration for silent film era comedians such as
Charlie Chaplin
Charlie Chaplin and his hero Stan Laurel.[36] On Larry King Live, Van
Dyke mentioned he turned down the lead role in The Omen which was
played by Gregory Peck. He also mentioned his dream role would have
been the scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz. Twenty-one years later in
1990, Van Dyke, whose usual role had been the amiable hero, took a
small but villainous turn as the crooked DA Fletcher in Warren
Beatty's film Dick Tracy. Van Dyke returned to motion pictures in 2006
with Curious George as Mr. Bloomsberry and as villain Cecil Fredericks
in the
Ben Stiller
Ben Stiller film Night at the Museum.[37] He reprised the role
in a cameo for the sequel, Night at the Museum: Battle of the
Smithsonian (2009), but it was cut from the film. It can be found in
the special features on the DVD release. He also played the character
again in the third film, Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb
(2014).

published Faith, Hope and Hilarity: A Child's Eye View of Religion a
book of humorous anecdotes based largely on his experiences as a
Sunday School
Sunday School teacher.[39] Van Dyke was principal in "KXIV Inc." and
owned 1400 AM KXIV in Phoenix (later KSUN) from 1965 to 1985.[citation

In 2017, Van Dyke released his first solo album since 1963's "Songs I
Like". The album, "Step (Back) In Time", was produced by Bill Bixler
(who also played sax), with arrangements by Dave Enos (who also played
bass) and features noted musicians John Ferraro (Drums), Tony Guerrero
(Trumpet & Vocal duet), Mark LeBrun (Piano), Charley Pollard
(Trombone) and Leslie Bixler (Vocals). "Step (Back) In Time" was
released by BixMix Records and showcases Van Dyke in a jazz and big
band setting on classic songs from the 1920s, 1930's and 1940's.
Van Dyke also recorded a duet single for Christmas 2017 with actress
Jane Lynch. The song, "We're Going Caroling", was written and produced
by
Tony Guerrero

Personal life
Van Dyke's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame
On February 12, 1948, while appearing at the Chapman Park Hotel on
Wilshire Boulevard
Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles, he and the former Margerie Willett
were married on the radio show Bride and Groom.[21] They had four
children: Christian, Barry, Stacy, and Carrie Beth.[44] They divorced
in 1984 after a long separation.
Van Dyke lived with longtime companion
Michelle Triola for more than
30 years, until her death in 2009.[45][46]
He incorporated his children and grandchildren into his TV endeavors.
Son Barry Van Dyke, grandsons
Shane Van Dyke and Carey Van Dyke along
with other Van Dyke grandchildren and relatives appeared in various
episodes of the long-running series Diagnosis: Murder. Although Stacy
Van Dyke was not well known in show business, she made an appearance
in the Diagnosis: Murder Christmas episode "Murder in the Family"
(season 4) as Carol Sloan Hilton, the estranged daughter of Dr. Mark
Sloan.
All of Van Dyke's children are married; he has seven grandchildren.
His son Chris was district attorney for Marion County, Oregon, in the
1980s.[47] In 1987, Van Dyke's granddaughter Jessica Van Dyke died
from Reye's syndrome,[48] which led him to do a series of commercials
to raise public awareness of the danger of aspirin to children.
On February 29, 2012, at the age of 86, Van Dyke married 40-year-old
make-up artist Arlene Silver. They had met six years earlier at the
SAG awards.[49]
Van Dyke was a heavy smoker for most of his adult life. In a January
2013 interview with the London Daily Telegraph, he said he had been
using Nicorette gum for the past decade.[50]
In April 2013, Van Dyke revealed that for seven years he had been
experiencing symptoms of a neurological disorder, in which he felt a
pounding in his head whenever he lay down; but despite his undergoing
tests, no diagnosis had been made.[51] He had to cancel scheduled
appearances due to fatigue from lack of sleep because of the medical
condition.[52] In May 2013, he tweeted that it seemed his titanium
dental implants may be responsible.[53]
On August 19, 2013, it was reported that the 87-year-old Van Dyke was
rescued from his Jaguar by a passerby after the car had caught fire on
the US 101 freeway in Calabasas,
Los Angeles
Los Angeles County. He was not
injured in the fire, although the car burned down to its frame.[54]
Van Dyke publicly endorsed
Bernie Sanders
Bernie Sanders as his choice for the
Democratic candidate in the 2016 US presidential election. Van Dyke, a
New Deal
New Deal Democrat, had not actively campaigned for a candidate since
Eugene McCarthy in 1968.[55] In July 2016, Van Dyke said of Donald
Trump, "He has been a magnet to all the racists and xenophobes in the
country, I haven't been this scared since the Cuban Missile Crisis. I
think the human race is hanging in a delicate balance right now, and
I'm just so afraid he will put us in a war. He scares me."[56]
