Dick Van Dyke of "Mary Poppins" and "Mary Tyler Moore Show" fame met Arlene Silver in 2006 at the SAG Awards. For the actor, age was just a number. They married in 2012 and reside in Malibu.
"I never said hello to a strange girl in my life. I was too scared," the actor told People magazine on Sunday. Stephanie Nolasco covers entertainment at Foxnews.com.
"But I was at a show backstage, and she walked by, and for some reason, I just jumped up and said, ‘Hi, I'm Dick,’" the 99-year-old recalled. "There's something about her that got me, and I was right."
