West Plains, Missouri
[5]
to Hazel Victoria (nee McCord), a stenographer, and Loren Wayne "Cookie" Van Dyke, a salesman.
[6]
He grew up in
Danville, Illinois
. He is the older brother of actor
Jerry Van Dyke
, who appeared as his brother in
The Dick Van Dyke Show
.
Van Dyke
is a
Dutch
surname, although he also has
English
,
Irish
, and
Scottish
ancestry.
[7]
His family line traces back to
Mayflower
passenger
John Alden
.
[8]
Van Dyke attended
Danville High School
in 1944, where he participated in the
a cappella
choir and dramatic club.
[9]
His involvement in the drama program convinced him to become a professional entertainer, although he also considered a career in the ministry.
[10]
Van Dyke left high school during his senior year to join the
United States Army Air Forces
for pilot training during
World War II
.
[11]
[12]
Denied enlistment several times for being underweight, he was eventually accepted for service as a
radio announcer
before transferring to the
Special Services
and entertaining troops in the
continental United States
.
[13]
He was discharged in 1946.
[14]
Van Dyke received his high school diploma in 2004.
[15]
Career
1940?1959: Early work and Broadway debut
During the late 1940s, Van Dyke was a
radio DJ
on
WDAN
in
Danville, Illinois
.
[16]
In 1947, Van Dyke was persuaded by
pantomime performer
Phil Erickson
[17]
to form a comedy duo called "Eric and Van?the Merry Mutes."
[18]
The team toured the
West Coast
nightclub circuit, performing a mime act and
lip synching
to
78 rpm records
. They moved to
Atlanta
, Georgia, in the early 1950s and performed on a local television show featuring original skits and music called "The Merry Mutes".
[19]
Van Dyke's start in television was with
WDSU-TV
New Orleans
Channel 6 (
NBC
), first as a single comedian and later as
emcee
of a comedy program.
[20]
[21]
[22]
Van Dyke's first network TV appearance was with
Dennis James
on James'
Chance of a Lifetime
in 1954. He later appeared in two episodes of
The Phil Silvers Show
during its 1957?58 season. He also appeared early in his career on
ABC
's
The Pat Boone Chevy Showroom
and
NBC
's
The Polly Bergen Show
. During this time a friend from the Army was working as an executive for CBS television and recommended Van Dyke to that network. Out of this came a seven-year contract with the network.
[23]
During an interview on
NPR
's
Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!
program, Van Dyke said he was the anchorman for the
CBS Morning Show
during this period with
Walter Cronkite
as his newsman.
[7]
In November 1959, Van Dyke made his
Broadway
debut in
The Girls Against the Boys
which ran at the
Alvin Theatre
. The production was a revue in two acts and featured performances from Van Dyke,
Shelley Berman
,
Bert Lahr
,
Nancy Walker
among many others. The production ran on Broadway for sixteen performances from November 2 to November 14, 1959.
[24]
1960?1968: Career stardom
Bye Bye Birdie
(1960?1963)
He played the lead role of Albert Peterson in
Bye Bye Birdie
, which ran from April 14, 1960, to October 7, 1961. Van Dyke starred alongside
Chita Rivera
,
Barbara Doherty
, and
Paul Lynde
. The production received mixed reviews from critics, such as from
Brooks Atkinson
of
The New York Times
, who praised Van Dyke as "likable" but opined, "As a production it's neither fish fowl nor good musical comedy. It needs work." Despite this, the musical won four Tony awards, including for Van Dyke, who won the Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Musical in 1961.
[25]
Van Dyke began his film career by playing the role of Albert J. Peterson in the film version of
Bye Bye Birdie
(1963). Despite his unhappiness with the adaptation?its focus differed from the stage version in that the story now centered on a previously supporting character
[26]
?the film was a success. The film starred
Ann-Margret
,
Janet Leigh
, and
Maureen Stapleton
with Van Dyke and Lynde reprising their roles.
Variety
wrote of Van Dyke's performance, "Van Dyke displays a showbiz knowhow far more extensive than his television outings communicate".
[27]
The Dick Van Dyke Show
(1961?1966)
From 1961 to 1966, Van Dyke starred in the CBS sitcom
The Dick Van Dyke Show
, in which he portrayed a comedy writer named
Rob Petrie
. Carl Reiner conceived the program and cast himself as the lead in the pilot, but CBS insisted on recasting, and Reiner chose Van Dyke to replace him in the role.
[23]
Complementing Van Dyke was a veteran cast of comic actors including
Rose Marie
,
Morey Amsterdam
,
Jerry Paris
,
Ann Morgan Guilbert
,
Richard Deacon
, and
Carl Reiner
(as Alan Brady), as well as 24-year-old
Mary Tyler Moore
, who played Rob's wife
Laura Petrie
. Van Dyke won three Emmy Awards as
Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series
, and the series received four
Emmy Awards as Outstanding Comedy Series
.
[28]
The Dick Van Dyke Show
received positive reviews from its start, with
The Hollywood Reporter
praising Van Dyke's comedic performance writing, "Sure to catch on as a new personality is Dick Van Dyke who, though he can play it straight when need be, proves a master of the double take, juicing up to solid laughs what would possibly be just amusing lines with his physical reactions. Yet, he doesn't over-mug. In this one, his "drunk husband" bit was a masterpiece of timing and ingenuity."
[29]
Ken Tucker of
Entertainment Weekly
reviewed the series following its
Blu-ray
boxset release in 2012 writing, "The Dick Van Dyke Show certainly wasn't the first sitcom featuring a lead character who presided over a TV-show-within-the-TV-show ?
Jack Benny
's
The Jack Benny Program
, among others, had beaten Van Dyke to that. But this was the first sitcom to meld the workplace sitcom with the domestic sitcom so seamlessly. The episodes themselves move with the same smoothness and grace that Van Dyke and Moore did, whether the Petries were clowning, dancing, or romancing".
[30]
The series had a reunion in 2004 and was aired on
CBS
as
The Dick Van Dyke Show Revisited
with
Ray Romano
serving as host and Van Dyke,
Mary Tyler Moore
,
Rose Marie
, Jerry Van Dyke and
Carl Reiner
returning.
Morey Amsterdam
and
Richard Deacon
appeared in archival footage, both having died.
Mary Poppins
(1964)
That same year, Van Dyke was cast in two roles: as Bert, a man who goes through multiple odd jobs, ultimately and memorably becoming a
chimney sweep
; and as bank chairman Mr. Dawes Senior, in
Walt Disney
's
Mary Poppins
(1964). For his scenes as the chairman, he was heavily costumed to look much older and was credited in that role as "Navckid Keyd" (at the end of the credits, the letters
unscramble
into "Dick Van Dyke," which was repeated in
Mary Poppins Returns
). Van Dyke's attempt at a
cockney
accent has been lambasted as one of the worst accents in film history, cited by actors since as an example of how not to sound. In a 2003 poll by
Empire
magazine of the worst-ever accents in film, he came in second (to
Sean Connery
in
The Untouchables
, despite Connery winning an
Academy Award
for that performance).
[31]
[32]
According to Van Dyke, his accent coach?veteran actor
J. Pat O'Malley
?was
Irish
, who "didn't do an accent any better than I did", and that no one alerted him to how bad it was during the production.
[33]
[7]
[23]
[34]
Still,
Mary Poppins
was successful on release and its appeal has endured. "
Chim Chim Cher-ee
", one of the songs that Van Dyke performed in
Mary Poppins
, won the
Academy Award for Best Original Song
for the
Sherman Brothers
, the film's songwriting duo.
Van Dyke received a Grammy Award in 1964, along with
Julie Andrews
, for his performance on the soundtrack to
Mary Poppins
.
[35]
Many of the comedy films Van Dyke starred in throughout the 1960s were relatively unsuccessful at the box office, including
What a Way to Go!
with
Shirley MacLaine
,
Lt. Robin Crusoe, U.S.N.
,
Fitzwilly
,
The Art of Love
with
James Garner
and
Elke Sommer
,
Some Kind of a Nut
,
Never a Dull Moment
with
Edward G. Robinson
, and
Divorce American Style
with
Debbie Reynolds
and
Jean Simmons
. But he also starred as
Caractacus Potts
(with his native accent, at his own insistence, despite the English setting) in the successful musical version of
Ian Fleming
's
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
(1968), which co-starred
Sally Ann Howes
and featured the same songwriters (The Sherman Brothers) and choreographers (
Marc Breaux
and Dee Dee Wood) as
Mary Poppins
.
1968?1980: Established star
In 1968, it was reported that
Albert R. Broccoli
had offered Van Dyke the chance to replace
Sean Connery
as
James Bond
. Van Dyke declined the offer, asking Broccoli: "Have you heard my British accent?".
[36]
In 1969, Van Dyke appeared in the comedy-drama
The Comic
, written and directed by Carl Reiner. Van Dyke portrayed a self-destructive
silent film
era comedian who struggles with
alcoholism
,
depression
, and his own rampant ego. Reiner wrote the film especially for Van Dyke, who often spoke of his admiration for silent film era comedians such as
Charlie Chaplin
and his hero
Stan Laurel
.
[37]
Also in 1969, Van Dyke played Rev. Clayton Brooks, a small-town minister who leads his Iowa town to quit smoking for 30 days to win $25 million (equal to $207,713,249 today) from a tobacco company in
Cold Turkey
, although that film was not released until 1971. In 1970, he published
Faith, Hope and Hilarity: A Child's Eye View of Religion
a book of humorous anecdotes based largely on his experiences as a
Sunday School
teacher.
[38]
Van Dyke was principal in "KXIV Inc." and owned 1400 AM
KXIV
in Phoenix from 1965 to 1982.
[39]
[40]
From 1971 to 1974, Van Dyke starred in an unrelated sitcom called
The New Dick Van Dyke Show
in which he portrayed a local television talk show host. Although the series was developed by Carl Reiner and starred
Hope Lange
as his wife, and he received a
Golden Globe
nomination for his performance, the show was less successful than its predecessor,
[41]
and Van Dyke pulled the plug on the show after just three seasons.
[42]
In 1973, Van Dyke voiced his animated likeness for the October 27, 1973, installment of
Hanna-Barbera
's
The New Scooby-Doo Movies
, "Scooby-Doo Meets Dick Van Dyke," the series' final first-run episode. The following year, he received an Emmy Award nomination for his role as an alcoholic businessman in the
television movie
The Morning After
(1974). Van Dyke revealed after its release that he had recently overcome a real-life
drinking problem
; he admits he was an alcoholic for 25 years.
[43]
That same year he guest-starred as a murderous photographer on an episode of
Columbo
,
Negative Reaction
. Van Dyke returned to comedy in 1976 with the
sketch comedy
show
Van Dyke and Company
,
on which
Andy Kaufman
made his
prime time
debut.
[44]
[45]
Despite being canceled after three months, the show won an
Emmy Award
for Outstanding Comedy-Variety Series.
[46]
After a few guest appearances on the long-running comedy-variety series
The Carol Burnett Show
, Van Dyke became a regular on the show, in the fall of 1977. However, he appeared in only half of the episodes of the final season.
1981?2001:
Diagnosis Murder
For the next decade he appeared mostly in TV movies, including a made-for-cable remake of
The Country Girl
(1982) with
Faye Dunaway
. One atypical role was as a murdering judge on the second episode of the TV series
Matlock
in 1986 starring
Andy Griffith
. In 1987, he guest-starred in an episode of
Airwolf
, with his son
Barry Van Dyke
, who was the lead star of the show's fourth and final season on
USA Network
. In 1989, he guest-starred on the NBC comedy series
The Golden Girls
portraying a lover of
Beatrice Arthur
's character. This role earned him his first Emmy Award nomination since 1977.
[47]
In 1980, Van Dyke appeared in the title role in
The Music Man
.
[48]
On
Larry King Live
, Van Dyke mentioned that he turned down the lead role in
The Omen
which was played by Gregory Peck. He also mentioned that his dream role would have been the Scarecrow in
The Wizard of Oz
. Twenty-one years later in 1990, Van Dyke, whose usual role had been the amiable hero, took a small but villainous turn as crooked DA Fletcher in
Warren Beatty
's film
Dick Tracy
. Van Dyke's film work affected his TV career: the reviews he received for his role as D.A. Fletcher in
Dick Tracy
led him to star as the character
Dr. Mark Sloan
first in an episode of
Jake and the Fatman
, then in a series of TV movies on CBS that became the foundation for his popular television drama
Diagnosis: Murder
.
The series ran from 1993 to 2001 with son Barry Van Dyke co-starring in the role of Dr. Sloan's son
Lieutenant Detective Steve Sloan
. Also starring on the same show was daytime soap actress
Victoria Rowell
as Dr. Sloan's pathologist/medical partner,
Dr. Amanda Bentley
, and
Charlie Schlatter
in the role of Dr. Sloan's student,
Dr. Jesse Travis
.
[49]
Van Dyke became a
computer animation
enthusiast after purchasing an
Amiga
in 1991. He is credited with the creation of 3D-rendered effects used on
Diagnosis: Murder
and
The Dick Van Dyke Show Revisited
. Van Dyke has displayed his
computer-generated imagery
work at
SIGGRAPH
, and continues to work with
LightWave 3D
.
[50]
[51]
[52]
As an
a cappella
enthusiast, Van Dyke has sung in a group called "
Dick Van Dyke and The Vantastix
" since September 2000. The
quartet
has performed several times in
Los Angeles
as well as on
Larry King Live
, The First Annual
TV Land Awards
, and sang the
national anthem
at three
Los Angeles Lakers
games including a nationally televised
NBA Finals
performance on NBC. Van Dyke was made an honorary member of the
Barbershop Harmony Society
in 1999.
[53]
2002?present
Van Dyke continued to find television work after
Diagnosis: Murder
ended, including a dramatically and critically successful performance of
The Gin Game
, produced for television in 2003 that reunited him with
Mary Tyler Moore
. In 2003, he portrayed Doctor Doug Townshend on
Scrubs
. A 2004 special of
The Dick Van Dyke Show
titled
