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, his
physical dexterity, his impeccable comic timing, his ridiculous stunts, and
his unforgettable screen roles.

His trailblazing television program, The Dick Van Dyke Show (produced by Carl
Reiner, who has written the foreword to this memoir), 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 beloved today as they were
when they first appeared. Who doesn.t know the word
supercalifragilisticexpialidocious?

A colorful, loving, richly detailed look at the decades of a multilayered life,
My Lucky Life In and Out of Show Business, will enthrall every generation of
reader, from baby-boomers who recall when Rob Petrie became a household name,
to all those still enchanted by Bert.s .Chim Chim Cher-ee.. This is a lively,
heartwarming memoir of 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.
