“You think, ‘I don’t deserve this,’ but it’s difficult to say how I felt. I came home, and I said, ‘You know something? It’s going to be a couple of days before this actually sinks in that it happened.’ I never expected that kind of recognition. My whole life went before me. I didn’t realize I had done so many things while I was 75 years in show business.”
Van Dyke’s career has gained a life long following of fans ready to celebrate with him today.
