This Childhood Hero Hid Dirty Little Secrets 

My grandma went to school with him. Her autographed yearbook is now one of my prizes possessions.. my mom's good friend still lives in Danville and he calls to check in all the time.. great guy

Dick Van Dyke is a real star, always has been, always will be.

My sons who are now 25 & 32 got hooked on The Dick Van Dyke Show reruns when they were children & still enjoy catching a rerun to this day. The scripts were so good, funny, & wholesome, and Dick was so talented. I think my younger son’s favorite episode was when Rob had a dream his hair had turned to lettuce after using an oil & vinegar hair tonic! He continues to entertain people of all ages 60 years later!

I am so glad to find that unlike many stars today, he is a decent man. I am fed up the way click bait is used to make the person in question sound bad. Why? Anyway it is a good documentary. I enjoyed watching.

Ahhh, thank you so much for making this video. I have always admired Dick Van Dyke for my entire life. He gave me an image of a good man to look up to once my own father died when I was a young child. As much as I’ve had to learn the hard way no one is perfect and it’s impossible to try to live up to this, people can still be “good” and “genuine” and “authentic”. Those are attributes I’ve always thought of when I have seen Dick Van Dyke in his movies and tv series. He deserves to be happy in his senior years and I’m glad his family approves of his new bride. May they have many happy years together.

Dick Van Dyke is a TRUE NATIONAL TREASURE 🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️ I’ve loved him since I saw him in Mary Poppins when I was a kid 🩷 Such a great talent and great human being, so glad he’s found happiness in his golden years, he deserves it !!!!! ❣️❣️❣️

Dick Van Dyke was the greatest new talent "find" of the 1960's! I do remember him, as early as the mid-50's, on "The Phil Silvers show" & "The Garry Moore Show", but he didn't "hit his prime" until the start of the 60's! "The Dick Van Dyke Show", in my opinion, was the beginning of the modern "sit-com", as we know them, today! If he was an alcoholic & still has lived to nearly 100, then I say "I'll have what he's having"! America loves you, Dick!

Dirty little secrets, ...... Oh please.

Mr Van Dyke is a warm loving man💚💚💚

We all have secrets.

He is still handsome!

I loved Dick in Mary Poppins. I was ten and grieving from the death of my father when a kind neighbour and family took me to see the film and I loved it, still do. I am a cockney from Hackney and his accent sounded ok to me! He looks great for his age too. Such vibrant blue eyes.

Dick Van Dyke entertained so many of us. From Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, to Mary Popping (a favorite of mine) and I loved the Dick Van Dyke show with Mary Tyler Moore. Great entertainer! Thank you Dick Van Dyke for sharing your many talents, you made my life better.

I think it was on an interview he did on ET, back in the 90's, Dick told a story of being recognised as Bert in a city park. He, and the little girl who asked him if he was Bert, ended up singing Let's Go Fly a Kite together. Shows what a kind man he is. Love him!

As a child of the 1960's I fell for the Image Dick Van Dyke as the Super Dad...and the "Swell Guy" in movies like "Bye, Bye, Birdie, Mary Popins, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Cold Turkey" Then a great actor on Diagnosis Murder. But now, knowing the real man...makes him more human and relatible...We ALL have faults and we all hurt....And it is often hard to balance work and family..without neglecting one or the other....for himself the Ministry may have been a better choice....but for us... those wonderful characters he brought to life are indelible

Great video! I’m a huge fan of his. Thank you so much! 🙂

It looks like his Grand daughter died from Reye’s syndrome, I also developed this in the seventies. Because it appears to be the flu it is easily overlooked till too late. I had already had the chickenpox’s but was re-exposed to it and developed Reye’s syndrome. It took several months for me to recover to go back to school.🙏💕🙏💕

WOW. Carl Reiner and Dick Van Dyke. Magic. Dick was a master of physical comedy. History. I once worked for Nielsen. Magic.

Enjoyed the video. Thanks!

Always loved him. Always will.

Whew.You made it sound like some scandal would be revealed, but Im so glad there was none. He's a nice man and always has been , both in my dreams and thank goodness in reality! I would so love to give him a hug and a thank you. He's up there with Tom Hanks and Fred Rogers.

A treasure

nothing but love

Totally adore this man, Dick Van Dyke is a living angel❤❤❤

Doesn't everyone have things in their lives they are not proud of. It is called being human. I think he handled it well.

talk about a rough life - he's a survivor

Despite the awful British accent in Mary Poppins, this made Dick van Dike very popular in UK.

He’s still a great kind soul despite his life problems, there’s something to be sad about that……

His family line traces back to Mayflower passenger John Alden.

Mary was on tv as Legs on Richard Diamond.

Good bio! Truly enjoyable. Thank you!

Dick Van Dyke was dinner time conversation in our home for years as My Father in Law Irving Rosenfeld was a cousin of Micheal Rosenfeld who was a founding member of CAA and got DVD the role of Bert in the movie Mary Poppins.

He’s a fabulous actor same birthday as me who cares Dick on secrets

Nice bio ! 👍

He My favorite actor and his show I watch every episode Sunday night thanks dick and few other films you done great work

A video he made showed up in my feed not too long ago, but I can’t seem to find it now. He had mad it within the last year!

My stepdad was from Winterset Iowa where a release of the film he was in "Cold Turkey" was filmed. It was the grand opening & we were visiting from California. I was so excited because I loved Mary Poppins & I was going to meet Bert! He was the biggest jerk. I can only attribute this to his addiction at that moment. I was maybe 8 years old...1 of the many instances as a child from Los Angeles learning actors are just that ... acting....fake & knew not to idolize these people.

He was also great, in " A Night at the Museum"❤

I love him all the to the moon ❤️💕

Seriously $ 75 dollars a week would have been good money back then as I was grateful when I got a job for $ 5 an hour in n 1987

That explains why he didn't grow up in West Plains Missouri. That's where he was born.

Interesting. Good job.

if there is some "dirty little secrets" who in the hell are u to be exposing them ?

So far I haven't heard about Jerry.

Didn't know half this crap. Great video. Ty

6:53 What???? So Dick Van Dyke created the moonwalk! And we’ve been erroneously crediting Michael Jackson for decades. 😮

DVD has serious TDS 🤣

This is a well done profile, but please now do the same for his brother Jerry Van Dyke, a very unique and talented performer himself, who also has a learning disability, but managed to have a successful career despite that. 😲🤠☮️

My brother used to call him Dyke Van Dick.

I can still hear the theme song in my head. I’d like to know more about his relationship with Jerry.

I have always adored him-I guess the fact that he and my dad resembled each other a lot has a lot to do with that ❤️, and as they aged, that never ended. Dad was many years younger than dick, but my first tv memories are of watching his show and thinking it was my dad on the tv.

How long was the Dtke Van Dick Show on? About 99 years,? 😮

What dirty little secrets ?.

Pre-Michael Jackson! 6:52

"Hid secrets" is a bit strong. At what point do people have the right to say, "None of your business" ?

Can you cover Basil Rathbone

Great story. Please be careful about how fast you talk. It's sounded like you wanted to rush through the story to get it over and done with. Take a breath every now and then.

Minister Actor Whats the difference

What dirty little secrets?

Little known fact: His birth name was Peter VanLesbian.

I dread the day DVD get accused of something horrible.

Not a word about Barry ?

All we know about him over here is that he did the worst Cockney accent in history.

This is really very cheap of you. Here you've got an all-raround entertainment legend who's showed, all told, vastly more integrity than most. How many can you name that said no to the mafia in their salad days? Thanks for telling us how great a Guy DVD really is. You're sickened by his "squeaky clean image". You prefer maybe Errol Flynn's concentrated sleaze? This video is a perfect snapshot of how everything's gone to hell since the constantly maligned 1950s. People do prefer decadence now -- it's all many have ever known.

Normal problems

stupid caption

I unsubscribed for the pronunciation of Jock I

His brother Jerry had a black child out of wedlock. He would never admit. The offspring looked exactly like him and dna proved

Such a boring, flat, monotonous voice over. Cannot listen pass 5 minutes

When Harvey Korman left Carol Burnett's show, Dick Van Dyke took his place but his kind of humor and wit were totally different from Carol's and it just didn't work at all.

this channel needs to stop with the clickbait. the title is intentionally misleading, as they are on pretty much all of their titles. kinda feels like they don't have much faith in their content that they have to mislead. shame, cuz the stuff here is usually pretty good.
