The internet celebrates Dick Van Dyke, icon of delight, as he turns 95
95 years ago, comedy legend Dick Van Dyke was born. Today, Twitter celebrates!
The Hollywood icon, beloved for his roles in Mary Poppins, Bye Bye Birdie, Dick Tracy, The Comic, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Night at the Museum, and oh yeah, The Dick Van Dyke Show, began trending on Sunday — to the understandable terror of many. Thankfully, it wasn't bad news; just a reminder that Van Dyke exists in all his delightful glory and that somewhere out there he's probably eating some birthday cake.
Mark Hamill, who once described Van Dyke as "the nicest and most talented man in show-biz," got in on the festivities with an appreciation post rightfully dubbing Van Dyke an international treasure.
