Almost 50 years after Dick Van Dyke and Julie Andrews made Mary Poppins the two were reunited at the The Professional Dancer’s Society Gypsy Awards; and they look just close as they did when the classic musical came out in 1964. How cool is to see Bert and Mary Poppins together again? I know for me seeing them reunited has me as excited a spoon full of sugar.
BTW the other woman in the picture is Rob Petrie’s brand new wife Arlene Silver, who wasn’t even born when the movie came out.

Dick Van Dyke was promoting his book My Lucky Life In and Out of Show Business in LA yesterday and two of his co-stars from The Dick Van Dyke Show came out to support him. Rose Marie aka Sally Rogers and Larry Matthews aka Richie Petrie showed they are all still close 45 years after their timeless show ended. I had to share these pictures with you because the 87 year old actress and 55 year old actor look so awwdorable together as they honor the 85 year old Rob Petrie.
Here is a little factoid, Van Dyke’s TV co-worker and his TV son share the same birthday.

Dick Van Dyke and actress Sally Ann Howes aka Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’s Caractacus Potts and Truly Scrumptious were reunited for the premiere of the DVD release that is out tomorrow and they look just like they did when the movie came out 42 years. Can you believe he is 84 and she is 80 because they look like they can get right back into that car and sing Chitty Chitty Bang Bang like they did all those years ago!
Is just me or is Dick Van Dyke’s smile as addictive as singing the theme song from the movie. If you somehow forgot how it went, you can listen to it below and get stuck in your head all over again. I promise it will brighten your day!!!
Rose Marie, Dick Van Dyke and Carl Reiner all look great, can you believe they are all in their mid-eighties? I just love The Dick Van Dyke Show, I wish it played in syndication somewhere because I miss watching it.

Who knew they made blooper reels back then, but I am glad they did! I really loved The Dick Van Dyke Show and always wondered what it would be like when they messed up because it seemed like such a fun set…now we know it really was!!!
Why can’t they make more shows like this one? Maybe then there would be more sitcoms on the air today!
