Dick Van Dyke Has Survived ‘Some Scary Times’: ‘He Has a Gift for Looking on the Bright Side’
Dick Van Dyke has been through a lot over the past year after the Malibu wildfires, but he's 'defying the odds' at age 99, an insider exclusively tells Closer.
Dick Van Dyke has had a rotten start to the new year with wildfires causing chaos to domestic arrangements, but he’s soldiering on and making the best of a bad situation, much to the admiration of friends and family.
