Dick Van Dyke wants to be remembered for two “iconic” projects as he celebrates his monumental 100th birthday on Saturday, Dec. 13.
“I think the two things he always talks about, the two blessings that came to him, were ‘The Dick Van Dyke Show’ and ‘Mary Poppins,'” Steve Boettcher, director of the upcoming documentary “Dick Van Dyke: 100th Celebration,” exclusively told The Post.
“Those two are really the iconic things that he wants to be remembered for,” the filmmaker added.
“The Dick Van Dyke Show” premiered in 1961 and centered on Rob Petrie (Van Dyke), a comedy writer on the fictional “Alan Brady Show.”
The Carl Reiner-created sitcom revolved around Petrie’s life at home in New Rochelle, NY, with wife Laura (Mary Tyler Moore) and young son Ritchie (Larry Mathews), as well as his time at work with fellow writers Buddy Sorrell (Morey Amsterdam), Sally Rogers (Rose Marie) and their producer Mel Cooley (Richard Deacon).
