Dick Van Dyke Becomes Oldest Emmy Winner

Dick Van Dyke, approaching his 99th birthday, made headlines at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards where he tied Norman Lear's record as the oldest Emmy winner at 98. He received the award for his birthday special, 'Dick Van Dyke 98 Years of Magic', and humorously remarked he's still 'looking for work'. Reflecting on his remarkable 75-year career, he expressed his desire to be remembered for bringing laughter to audiences. Van Dyke also offered advice to young performers about perseverance and self-belief amidst the challenges of the industry. Accompanied by his wife Arlene Silver, he acknowledged her contributions as a producer, emphasizing her capabilities beyond any notion of nepotism. Earlier this year, he also set a record as the oldest winner of a Daytime Emmy for his guest role on 'Days of Our Lives'.
