Dick Van Dyke Drops Out Of Malibu Fan Event Amid “Bad Day” At 99

Although Dick Van Dyke had to miss the third iteration of his Vandy Camp fan gathering this weekend, he was there in spirit.

The 6x Emmy winner’s wife Arlene Silver announced that he was “not up to” attending Saturday’s event in Malibu as planned, but he was tuning into the livestream as fans shared well wishes in his absence. After asking fans to share “what he means to you” for her husband watching at home, Silver noted she’s “pretty confident” he’ll be able to return for the next event. “I’m acutely aware that I, you know, could go any day now, but I don’t know why it doesn’t concern me,” said Van Dyke in the video, which was directed by Spike Jonze and Mary Wigmore.
