Stayin Alive 26 Posted July 9, 2004 I don't think so, he always looked in great health on TV generally, even in his twilight years. No Jolly Holiday with Maury just yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Earl Gloomy 7 Posted July 9, 2004 There's me thinking that he had already snuffed it - But am i right in thinking some1 with the name Van Dyke died in the last few years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Annonymous Posted August 25, 2004 Dick Van Dyke is NOT dead. He did a special show "The Dick Van Dyke Show Revisited" only a few months earlier this year... I believe he is going to live on until he is in his 90's! He is my idol!!! Does everybody know he played Mr.Dawes Sr in Mary Poppins? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Diagnosis death Posted July 31, 2005 Poor old Dick is on the slippery slope,he's got 6 months at most. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banshees Scream 110 Posted July 31, 2005 Na way off. Dick van Dyke has atleast 4 or 5 more years left within him. As far as i'm aware there are no serious health problums known and he seems pretty stable at most of the award shows that are on once or twice a year. But if he does get any serious health problums then there might be some kind of consideration. Anyway how has Mary been. I know for sure she has had diabetes for some time now. Although with a couple face lifts "Probobly" she don't look to bad. I say that both have a couple years yet.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gunjaman5000 30 Posted August 1, 2005 An aspiring young actor seeks the help of an agent for the first time. "What's your name again son?" the agent asked. "Richard Light-Truck Lesbian sir" replied the actor. "Not snappy enough!" said the agent, "try Dick Van Dyke." The funniest and only Dick Van Dyke joke I am aware of.

Goodnight Vienna 2 Posted October 18, 2005 Speaking of Mr Van Dyke.... Did you know that Lionel Jeffries who played his father in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was actually a month or so younger than him... oh yes I think he is still very much alive too........ And the most anoying thing about Diagnosis Murder is if you are called Van Dyke then you get a part in the new series....... think the dog Rover Van Dyke played a part once too!!!???

maryportfuncity 10,644 Posted October 18, 2005 A couple of things: It's remarkable how much of his movie work has dated so badly that DVD's performances are still unavailable on the DVD format. When he does go we should celebrate his ridiculous performance in Mary Poppins by holding a good old cockney knees up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
