Dick Van Dyke Wins Emmy for 98th Birthday Special

At 98, Dick Van Dyke has become the joint oldest winner of a Creative Arts Emmy, tying with Norman Lear, for his birthday special 'Dick Van Dyke: 98 Years of Magic.' During his acceptance speech, Van Dyke showcased his dance moves and humorously quipped about looking for work. Reflecting on his 75-year career, he expressed a desire to be remembered for making people laugh and advised aspiring performers to remain patient and resilient despite challenges. Van Dyke was joined by his wife, Arlene Silver, who produced the special and praised him for his enduring joy and playfulness. This win follows Van Dyke's historic Daytime Emmy win for Best Guest Performer in a Drama Series for 'Days of Our Lives' in June. Despite their 46-year age gap, Van Dyke and Silver share a close bond, which began as a friendship and blossomed into a marriage in 2012.
