Happy 90th Birthday, Dick Van Dyke!

In honor of a Hollywood giant, I ask, who has Dick Van Dyke autographs out there? I must admit that I don't have one myself, but I've always admired his work. I always enjoyed watching reruns of "The Dick Van Dyke Show" after school and on snow days. I always thought that he and Mary Tyler Moore made quite the photogenic TV couple.

I hope you have many years ahead of you, Mr. Van Dyke!

Dick Van Dyke is a great actor. Has led an interesting life as well. Sing, dance, and act. Triple threat!

Yes, he was a great actor. And I thought he just excelled in his role as Rob Petry. He played a dashing young guy with a beautiful wife. He played a character that was humorous, kind, talented, and sophisticated without any appearance of arrogance.

And let's not forget "Chitty Chitty, Bang Bang!" - a favorite of my youth. Man, when I got that Chitty Chitty, Bang Bang toy car, all was right with the world!

He always had that "young at heart" way about him so I'm sure that helped him age so well. I generally see him in "good guy" roles but he's also played good "bad guys" in Columbo and Matlock, for example.

Just be careful about the ttms autographs, the in-person, book signing and private signing signature confirm he's been using a secretary for the last 15-20 years or so.

That's a good characterization of him, "young at heart". He had quite a career.

And that's great information to pass along, Jason. Thanks.

Yes I had an item signed TTM, then when I met him, I covered up that signature and had him sign the same item in person. Close, but they are different.

Dick was doing the moonwalk in skits decades before Michael Jackson

I thought I'd add this Dick Van Dyke signature here as it was dedicated to him and I agree, he is a marvellous actor, from his days of 'Mary Poppins' to 'Diagnosis Murder,' another good t.v. show.

This was from a recent private signing. I hope you enjoy and I agree, I want to see many more years of Dick Van Dyke entertaining :)
