As he reflects on his life in entertainment and as the father of four through a series of funny and bittersweet anecdotes, one gets the sense he\u2019s a decent guy, the sort of person you can hang out with and shoot the breeze over a couple of beers.<\/p>\n<p>But wait. There will be no brews for him, because in the book, Van Dyke admits his long-time struggle with alcoholism. He speaks candidly about his years of trying to quit his one-to-two pack-a-day smoking habit. And he frankly admits to an adulterous affair, dumping longtime wife Margie for Michelle Triola, the woman who famously sued ex-boyfriend Lee Marvin for \u201cpalimony\u201d in 1977.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the secrets revealed\u2014including the fact he was born out of wedlock, a potential scandal in 1925 Middle America\u2014Van Dyke still comes through as a mensch. All of the aforementioned faults he attempts to correct, quitting smoking, drying out in rehab and trying to smooth things over amicably with his wife after he has fallen for another woman. For some celebrities, one may think the subject\u2019s efforts are nothing but a slick spin job, but in Dick Van Dyke: My Lucky Life In and Out Of Show Business, Van Dyke seems like the real deal, ready, willing and able to pull back the curtain on his life.<\/p>\n<p>Breezily written, the book delves into Van Dyke\u2019s childhood, follows him into World War II, then chronicles his years in advertising which led to performing live and on radio in and around the country, solo and with others. He made a huge splash on Broadway in 1960 in Bye Bye Birdie as songwriter\/agent (and chemist in the latter film version) Albert Peterson, manager of hip-swiveling teen sensation Conrad Birdie, who has been drafted into the Army ala Elvis Presley. Van Dyke copped a Tony Award (along with the play for Best Musical) and jumped ship to star in The Dick Van Dyke Show for writer-creator <a title=\"Carl Reiner\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/findresults_actor.asp?search=Carl+Reiner\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Carl Reiner<\/a> and producer <a title=\"Sheldon Leonard\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/findresults_actor.asp?search=Sheldon+Leonard\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Sheldon Leonard<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Reiner, who penned the book\u2019s forward, is regularly cited as a mentor and a genius. After all, it was his tireless efforts and creative fervor that led to the beloved show. Van Dyke\u2019s physical and verbal dexterity as Rob Petrie, lead writer for The Alan Brady Show, coupled with sharp, sophisticated writing and a dream cast that included <a title=\"Mary Tyler Moore\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/findresults_actor.asp?search=Mary+Tyler+Moore\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Mary Tyler Moore<\/a> as his Capri slacks-wearing wife Laura, <a title=\"Morey Amsterdam\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/findresults_actor.asp?search=Morey+Amsterdam\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Morey Amsterdam<\/a> and <a title=\"Rose Marie\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/findresults_actor.asp?search=Rose+Marie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Rose Marie<\/a> as the star\u2019s jokesapoppin\u2019 writing associates, deadpan <a title=\"Richard Deacon\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/findresults_actor.asp?search=Richard+Deacon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Richard Deacon<\/a> as the show\u2019s producer and Reiner as the egotistical Brady himself.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the series showcased the fresh tandem of Van Dyke and Moore (only 24 when the show started) as a charismatic, believable married couple who were truly in love. In fact, their portrayals were so convincing, people actually believed they were a couple in real life.<\/p>\n<p>It took a while, but The Dick Van Dyke Show became a critical and ratings darling for CBS, winning fifteen Emmy Awards (including three for Van Dyke) during its run from 1961 to 1966. Originally entitled Head of the Family with Reiner in the lead, the show cast Van Dyke as the New Rochelle, NY-based head comedy writer for a network variety show, based on Reiner\u2019s experiences working with <a title=\"Sid Caesar\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/findresults_actor.asp?search=Sid+Caesar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Sid Caesar<\/a> on Your Show of Shows.<\/p>\n<p>Van Dyke recounts the good times, camaraderie and creative squabbles throughout the show\u2019s run with affection. He also cites the frustration of trying to find the magic to duplicate the show\u2019s success throughout the rest of his career, noting that he and Reiner left the show while it was still doing well, even though the network wanted them to continue.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s no surprise that The Dick Van Dyke Show gets lots of attention in Dick Van Dyke: My Lucky Life In And Out of Show Business. In fact, the author could have probably written a book based on the show alone. But Van Dyke touches on practically all of his other credits as well.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, there\u2019s Mary Poppins, Disney\u2019s smash released in 1964, of which Van Dyke lovingly recalls working with <a title=\"Julie Andrews\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/findresults_actor.asp?search=Julie+Andrews\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Julie Andrews<\/a>, Walt Disney and the composers Sherman Brothers. Other positive experiences in the book include Van Dyke\u2019s acting with <a title=\"Shirley MacLaine\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/findresults_actor.asp?search=Shirley+MacLaine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Shirley MacLaine<\/a> in What a Way to Go! (co-star Dean Martin was sloshed throughout and dating Ursula Andress at the time), working with Norman Lear on Cold Turkey, being appreciated by a younger generation in A Night at the Museum, and starring in several TV\u00a0 projects, including the long-running\u00a0 Diagnosis Murder in his seventies with his son Barry. Not so fond reminiscences are culled from his experiences on Chitty, Chitty, Bang, Bang (he wasn\u2019t fond of producer Cubby Broccoli or director Ken Hughes), Lt. Robinson Crusoe (he loved his simian co-star, but was grief-stricken by how cruelly it was\u00a0 treated off-camera), a brief stint on The Carol Burnett Show, a short-lived Broadway revival of The Music Man (critics deemed him as too nice for the part of Harold Hill) and uncomfortable working situations with Jackie Gleason, Redd Foxx and Faye Dunaway.<\/p>\n<p>The book continually takes detours from show biz, dipping poignantly into Van Dyke\u2019s personal life, honestly depicting his struggles and addictions.<\/p>\n<p>Equally affecting is Van Dyke\u2019s sincere appreciation of <a title=\"Stan Laurel\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/findresults_actor.asp?search=Stan+Laurel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Stan Laurel<\/a> and <a title=\"Buster Keaton\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/findresults_actor.asp?search=Buster+Keaton\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Buster Keaton<\/a>, who he came to know at the end of their lives. He feels a connection with these classic clowns.<\/p>\n<p>Witnessing Van Dyke at his best\u2014singing \u201cPut on a Happy Face\u201d in Bye Bye Birdie, dancing joyously with a group of chimney sweeps in Mary Poppins or tripping over the ottoman in the opening credits of The Dick Van Dyke Show\u2014it\u2019s easy to understand why.<\/p>\n<p>(For further information on Dick Van Dyke: My Lucky
