NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The legendary Hollywood star of classic films and TV shows such as The Dick Van Dyke Show, Bye Bye Birdie, and Mary Poppins shares intimate stories from six decades of his renowned career.
“Earnest, funny, and appealing . . . captures the essence of an eventful life lived on and off the small screen.”—The Washington Post
With a foreword by Carl Reiner
Dick Van Dyke, indisputably one of the greats of the golden age of television, is admired and beloved by audiences the world over for his beaming smile, physical dexterity, impeccable comic timing, ridiculous stunts, and unforgettable screen roles.
His trailblazing television program, The Dick Van Dyke Show, was one of the most popular sitcoms of the 1960s and introduced another major television star, Mary Tyler Moore. But Dick Van Dyke was also an enormously engaging movie star whose films, including Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, have been discovered by a new generation of fans and are as cherished today as they were when they first appeared. Who doesn’t know the word supercalifragilisticexpialidocious?
My Lucky Life In and Out of Show Business is a colorful, loving, richly detailed look at the decades of a multilayered life, written by a performer who still thinks of himself as a “simple song-and-dance man,” but who is, in every sense of the word, a classic entertainer.
