He might just be the most beloved entertainer alive. He's certainly been my favorite current-day performer ever since I first discovered The Dick Van Dyke Show and that's still my all-time fave TV program.
And while I've admired some folks from afar and then been disappointed once I got to know them a little, he's never let me down. Just as nice as you'd expect him to be…and a great role model for how you can get older without getting old. Dick Van Dyke is 95 today. I am just greedy enough to want him to live forever and idealistic enough to think that if anyone can, it's him.
