Comedy legend Dick Van Dyke turns 100 years previous

Comedy icon Dick Van Dyke celebrated his a hundredth birthday on Saturday, hitting the century mark some six many years after he sang and danced with Julie Andrews in “Mary Poppins” and starred in his self-titled sitcom. Van Dyke grew to become one of many greatest actors of his period with “The Dick Van Dyke Present,” which ran from 1961-66 on CBS; appeared with Andrews as a chimney sweep with a Cockney accent within the 1964 Disney traditional “Mary Poppins” and, in his 70s, performed a physician-sleuth on “Prognosis: Homicide.”
