The living, walking, breathing genuine genius of a legend—Dick Van Dyke turns 100!
The Mary Poppins alum recently dropped a new book entitled 100 Reasons For Living to 100: An Optimist’s Guide to Life.
He’s impeccably quoted saying: “When you expire, you expire.” Classic Van Dyke—sharp, witty, and still brimming with optimism.
The milestone comes as he graces the PEOPLE cover story interview, reflecting on a century of stage, screen, and song. (The feature dropped November 2025, spotlighting his resilience and humor.)
Van Dyke’s career spans from The Dick Van Dyke Show to Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, with a late-life cameo in Mary Poppins Returns (2018). His book leans into that same joy—part memoir, part pep talk, part reminder to keep moving.
