PRAISE FOR MY LUCKY LIFE IN AND OUT OF SHOW BUSINESS
“In my opinion, ‘Luck’ has little to do with Dick Van Dyke’s life. It is, rather, his innate kindness and talent that have had an extraordinary effect in shaping the man. And what a fascinating self-portrait he’s given us in this book.”—Mary Tyler Moore

This audiobook opens with a message from the actor, but the rest is narrated by his good friend and television personality Tom Bergeron (America's Funniest Home Videos, Dancing with the Stars). Van Dyke sees his optimism as being a key to his longevity in life and his profession, with each themed section sharing a rule about living to 100. He dives deeply into his personal life and shares stories from the many acting roles he has been blessed to play.
As someone who grew up watching reruns of the Dick Van Dyke Show, singing songs from Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and appreciating Van Dyke's more dramatic role in Diagnosis Murder, I loved getting to know more about Van Dyke's life, family, his fellow actors, and acting roles I never knew about.
If you are looking for a book that embraces a nostalgic journey through life and Hollywood, with an abundance of kind-hearted humor and optimism along the way, you will find no greater choice than Dick Van Dyke's 100 Rules for Living to 100.
