If pure joy had a human form, it would look a lot like Dick Van Dyke. He became a household name in the 1960s thanks to “The Dick Van Dyke Show,” where his quick wit and hilarious physical comedy made him TV gold. But before that, he won Broadway in “Bye Bye Birdie,” earning a Tony Award and proving he could do it all.

Hollywood came calling, and he danced his way into movie history as the lovable chimney sweep Bert in “Mary Poppins,” then flew into adventure with “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.” His charm, timing, and energy turned every project into a hit.
