Dick Van Dyke Filmography
Dick Van Dyke was launched to stardom in the 1960 musical "Bye-Bye Birdie" (for which he won a Tony Award), and then later in the movie based on that play.
Dick often hosted game shows when he was a struggling actor. He hosted "Mother's Day" in 1958 and "Laugh Line" in 1959 but turned down "The Price Is Right" in 1956.
According to "Those Funny Kids: A Treasury of Classroom Laughter" by Dick Van Dyke, by age eleven Mr Dick Van Dyke had grown to 6'1".
He finally received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1992. But when the star was unveiled, his name was misspelled on the star as "VANDYKE". Being a good sport he laughed, took a pen and drew a slash between "VAN" and "DYKE". The star was corrected soon after.
